This makes it necessary to register organization with EOBI. Registration with EOBI is a very simple process. A simple PR-01 registration form has to be filled by the employer along with a PR-02A form which contains the list of employees. Both of these forms should be provided to the nearest EOBI office, which will complete the registration process in two or three days and allot a registration number to the organization. The employees will receive the registration numbers within a month whereas the registration cards will take two or three months. These employees are now called insured persons after registration with EOBI and they will be eligible for the benefits of EOBI including pension and grants. Moreover, they will also be able to avail the benefits of Workers Welfare Board. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After registration, an employer has to submit his monthly dues to EOBI  at the start of each month. The current rate of contribution per employee is 780 Rs. in which the employees' share is 130 Rs. and  650 Rs. is contributed by the employer. EOBI doesn't impose any other charges on the employers on monthly or yearly basis except for fines which arise due to late payments. There are no other hidden charges which the employer has to pay except the above mentioned amount.</div>

This application for review of a decision will be considered by the Adjudicating authority free of charge. Under the process, the adjudicating authority will give the opportunity of hearing to the applicant at one of the regions of EOBI near the applicant's location. In case the claim has been rejected, the application should be made along with the rejection letter. Other supporting documents should be annexed alongwith attested photocopies of CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) number.</div>
