Government of the Pakistan, Cabinet Secretariat, Establishment
Division has issued Office Memorandum vide No. 8/08/2016-E-2 dated 08-09-2017
regarding “ASSISTANCE PACKAGE FOR FAMILIES OF GOVT. EMPLOYEES WHO WENT MISSING
AND COULD NOT BE RECOVERED DURING SERVICE”;
1. The undersigned is directed to say that while disposing a
Summary of this Division on the above subject, the Prime Minister has been
pleased to approve that federal government employees who go missing during
service and are not recovered within a period of twelve months from the date of
disappearance, and where there is a reasonable presumption of their having
died,. shall be treated at par with federal government employees who die during
service to the extent of payment of compensation and retirement benefits etc.,
subject to the condition that where such employee is recovered alive, before or
after the date of superannuation, the part of compensation linked to the
presumption of death during service shall be paid back to the government or
adjusted against pension payments of the employee. However, since only few
federal government employees have gone missing during service, the Prime
Minister has desired that their cases be submitted individually, with complete
justification, for his orders rather than seeking a blanket approval.
2. All Ministries /Division are request to take further
necessary action in light of the above decision of the Prime Minister.
