PBF Farewell Grant PDF Download

What is the PBF Farewell Grant?

The farewell grant is a one time welfare payment given by the Punjab Benevolent Fund to a registered government employee on retirement. It recognises the employee's years of service and is paid as a grant (meaning it is never recovered), entirely separate from the regular pension.

Who is eligible for the farewell grant?

The grant is generally admissible to Punjab government employees who meet the fund's conditions:

• Employees retiring on superannuation (age of retirement)
• Employees with the required qualifying service
• Registered, active members of the Benevolent Fund
• Employees whose PBF subscriptions are up to date

How much is the farewell grant?

The grant amount is fixed by the Punjab Benevolent Fund Board and is revised from time to time. It is a one time lump sum paid at retirement. Confirm the current amount with your Benevolent Fund office before applying, as the figure changes with each revision.

What documents are required?

Attach the following with the farewell grant application:

• Copy of CNIC
• Retirement or release order
• Service or pension particulars
• GP Fund / PBF membership details
• The completed grant form

How do I apply for the farewell grant?

Submit the application as follows:

1. Download and fill the farewell grant form.
2. Enter your service and retirement details accurately.
3. Attach the supporting documents listed above.
4. Obtain the departmental signature and stamp.
5. Submit to the Benevolent Fund office for sanction.

When should I apply?

The farewell grant is applied for around the time of retirement. The best practice is to submit the application together with your other retirement papers (pension, GP Fund final payment) so all retirement benefits are processed together without back and forth.

Where do I submit the application?

Submit the completed application, with all documents, to your concerned Benevolent Fund office, usually routed through your parent department. The office verifies the membership and service record, then sanctions the one time grant for payment.

Important tips to avoid delay

Keep these in mind to ensure the farewell grant is paid on time:

• Confirm your PBF membership and subscriptions are up to date.
• Apply close to retirement, alongside your pension papers.
• Attach the retirement or release order.
• Keep a stamped copy of the submitted application.
