NBP to decide pension matters as per court orders

MULTAN: National Bank of Pakistan President and Chief Executive Rehmat Ali Hasnie has said the bank will have to decide pension matters of retired employees in light of court orders and according to the law, rules and regulations.

Talking to The News during his visit here on Tuesday, he said the bank was bound to comply with court orders at any cost. Pensioners’ matters will be solved in light of court directions.
