M M
Apart from above mentioned 3
achievements,
0 EOBI is facing major challenges during
implementation of its strategy to y, add maximum number of employees in EOBI scheme
because legal framework of EOBI d a has become shaken after the 18 amendment in 2010. This
th

amendment created confusion on amongst all establishments. Many industries are waiting for
M
court judgment regarding fate of EOBI which is pending before Honorable Supreme Court of
Pakistan in civil Petition No. 39/2012 wherein Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan directed
Council of Common Interest (CCI) to give recommendations. Industries are reluctant to pay
4
contributions and have filed petitions in various courts regarding the wages. The Province of
Sindh has promulgated its own EOB Act which made the situation more complex for the
institution.

Situation got worse when Honorable Supreme court of Pakistan declared all the amendments

kh
made through Finance Act i.e. 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008, null and void in the reported case

a i AM
PLD 2017 SC 28. This judgment created severe impact on coverage of workers. Many
h
S :7
establishments are paying reduced contribution rate of Rs. 480 or Rs. 170 instead Rs. 1500/-

a 1 : Persons as well as new
at present wages, and started resisting registrations of new Insured
i ) to ,get1 out of the ambit of EOB Act
units. The aforementioned judgment enableda all theFBanks
F P 25
because banks were included in EOB through d
a (OFinance20Act in 2008. This judgment not only
excluded banks from EOB but alsom O
led other
h , to claim refunds. EOBI has suffered a
industry

of these legalrissues. Due to circumstances explained above
uh and pension
loss of billions of rupees because
a
M
the gap between annual collection M disbursement touched to an all-time high to 16

billion in 2021-22. If these legal issues
y wage, the institution will be able to achieve the vision of
of minimum wage to 8% of minimum a
d in pension. The EOBI has proposed amendments to include

Govt. to give substantial addition
self-employed, informal Msector workers and overseas Pakistanis, this will add millions of
workers in EOBI and Pakistan will achieve a milestone to reduce
