The Pension Fund reported that, starting from October, biometric identification (Face ID) is being used in the regions for pensioners receiving cash payments, with their signatures collected electronically.
“From now on, this process will help prevent situations where the People’s Bank reports pensions as ‘paid’ in official records while in reality the money is not given to the pensioner or is paid to another person,” the official statement said.
Earlier, the Executive Director of the Pension Fund, Murodbek Otajonov, confirmed that the government is considering a plan to raise the retirement age.
