GPSSA: Pensioners can submit their yearly confirmation forms through their banks

H.E. Abdul Rahman Al Baqer, GPSSA Deputy Director General said that this new procedure comes in a bid to elevate the level of GPSSA's services. He noted that the main objective of the procedure is to enable pensioners or entitled persons to present their yearly confirmation forms to authorized employee in their banks. These forms are necessary for continuous transfer of pensions, which is crucial to the comfort of beneficiaries including retired persons, widows and disable persons.

"UAE nationals had to face the burden of travelling to either Abu Dhabi or Dubai to fill these yearly forms. Currently, they can finalize this procedure through their banks, which in turn will submit these confirmation forms to GPSSA", Al Baqer added.

Al Baqer also noted that brochures and newsletters defining the new procedure were handed out to authorized banks in order to ensure pension payment.

Were present at the meeting representatives from Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIC), Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB), Sharjah Islamic Bank, Dubai Commercial Bank (DCB), Emirates Bank Group, National Bank of Fujeirah, National Bank of Umm Al Qiwan and National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah.
