EOBI & SESSI Lawyer in Karachi
Old-age pension, social security benefit and contribution disputes with EOBI and SESSI.
In brief
The Employees' Old-Age Benefits Act 1976 provides pensions and related benefits through EOBI, while the Sindh Employees' Social Security Act 2016 provides medical and other benefits through SESSI. Workers often find their employment was not registered or their contributions not paid.
We assist workers and survivors in getting benefits, and we assist employers contesting contribution demands, including through the appropriate appeal forums.
Workers, retirees, survivors of deceased workers, and employers who have received contribution demands.

How the matter moves

Questions clients ask
What if my employer never registered me?
It may still be possible to prove your employment with other evidence, and the issue can be raised with the institution.
Can a widow claim?
Survivors may be entitled to benefits, depending on the worker's contribution record and the law.
