It has also ordered to determine pension on the basis of average salary received during three years before retirement instead of the last received salary. ------------------------------
It has also directed to limit the family pension to only immediate family members such as wife, husband, and children aged less than 21 years of age.
The above-mentioned decisions will be applicable to the newly recruited employees and will save the Sindh government a total of Rs. 112 billion on the pension bill.
