NADRA Confirms No Suspension of Pension Payments Without Proof-of-Life Certificate

October 5, 2026 • 2 hours ago •

ISLAMABAD: The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has announced that pension payments will continue uninterrupted for pensioners who do not obtain a proof-of-life certificate this September. This clarification aims to alleviate concerns among retirees regarding the potential suspension of their pension benefits.

NADRA’s Public Information Officer, Syed Shabahat Ali, emphasized that the absence of a proof-of-life certificate alone will not trigger the halting of pension payments. This statement comes as part of NADRA’s efforts to ensure that pensioners are informed and reassured about their financial security.

The implications of this announcement are significant for the elderly population in Pakistan, many of whom rely heavily on their pensions for daily living expenses. By confirming that pension payments will not be affected, NADRA is providing a crucial safety net for these individuals, especially in a time of economic uncertainty.

Moving forward, NADRA is expected to continue its outreach to pensioners to ensure they are aware of their rights and the processes involved in obtaining necessary documentation. The agency may also explore ways to streamline the issuance of proof-of-life certificates to further support pensioners in the future.
