Also, the chairman of MPB, Air Vice Marshal Paul Irumheson, stated that the move to electronic verification was crucial for the safety and convenience of military pensioners.
“This innovative solution will ensure that retirees can verify their status from anywhere in the world, significantly reducing the burden of travel and associated risks. The successful pilot exercise conducted between February 15 and March 1, 2024 demonstrated the efficiency and reliability of the new system.
“In addition to developing the verification system, eTranzact has managed salary payments for other government agencies. The implementation of this electronic verification system is a critical step towards ensuring foolproof and seamless payment processes within the Military Pensions Board,” Irumheson stated.
