In 2026, the Employees’ Old-Age Benefits Institution (EOBI) has modernized its systems, making it possible for both employers and employees to manage registrations and verify records entirely online using a CNIC.
As of March 2, 2026, the minimum pension has been officially raised to Rs. 11,500, and a landmark legal ruling now counts 14.5 years of service as a full 15-year term for pension eligibility.
How to Check EOBI Status Online (2026)
You can verify your registration and contribution history without visiting an office by following these steps:
- Visit the Portal: Go to the EOBI Facilitation System.
- Select Tracking: Click on the “Insured Person Tracking” or “Individual Information” tab.
- Enter CNIC: Type your 13-digit CNIC number (without any dashes or spaces).
- View Results: The system will display your:
- EOBI Number (Your unique identity).
- Current Status (Active/Inactive).
- Contribution Record (Month-wise payments made by your employer).
EOBI Registration Process 2026
Registration is a legal requirement for any private organization with 5 or more employees.
For Employees (Self-Registration Check):
Most employees are registered by their HR departments. However, you can self-communicate your details if your employer hasn’t done so:
- Step 1: Download the PE-01 Form from the EOBI website.
- Step 2: Fill in your personal details and your company’s registration number.
- Step 3: Submit it to the nearest EOBI Regional Office or check if your company allows digital onboarding via the employer portal.
For Employers (Online Registration):
- Create Account: Visit the EOBI Employer Portal.
- Enter Business Details: Provide the industry name, address, and CNIC of the director/owner.
- Add Employees: Use the “New Employees without EOBI No.” tab to register staff using their CNICs.
- Voucher Generation: The system will automatically generate a monthly contribution voucher (PR-03).

Troubleshooting Common Issues
- “Record Not Found”: This usually means your employer has not yet registered you or your CNIC in the system. Contact your HR or visit a regional office with your appointment letter.
- Missing Contributions: If your tracking shows “zero” for certain months, your employer may be deducting funds from your salary but not depositing them. You can lodge a complaint via the Pakistan Citizen’s Portal.
- Biometric Issues: If your thumbprint is not matching at a bank, visit a NADRA center to refresh your biometrics first.
