Accountant General of Pakistan Asif Ali contested these figures and said all the pensioners number stood at 375,000, so they could not understand the figure of 600,000 ghost pensioners.
He said a total of 18,000 retired employees in the AGPR, Punjab’s 134,000, KP’s 18,000 and Sindh’s 7,700 were getting pension through the ATMs so the figure of 600,000 ghost employees could not be digested.
The NBP high-ups explained that the figure belonged to the retired employees of the federal government, armed forces and EOBI.The committee took up the issue of Rs18.5 billion loss to the bank for providing loans to fake companies and individuals and directed the management to approach the Bangladeshi courts and register criminal cases.
The chairman of the committee directed them to approach the Foreign Office and proceed against criminals by registering FIRs and approaching courts in Bangladesh.Answering a query, the NBP high-ups said they had charge-sheeted 61 bank officials from the top to the bottom but so far no action had been taken against them. The case was forwarded to the National Accountability Bureau.
