PESHAWAR, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd Sep, 2021 ) :Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government in a landmark step under pension reforms has entitled widows 100 % rather than 75 % pension.
"Our pension reforms have given us a chance to give 100 percent to widows instead of 75 percent," Finance Minister Timur Khan Jhagra said in a statement.
Clause (f) on family pensions of the notification said that "family pension" means a compassionate grant to the family at a rate of a hundred percent (100 %) of the pension.
