The National Pension Authority (NPA) is getting a lower response from Bangladeshi expatriates.
Among 1.49 crore expatriates, only 209 people have deposited their contribution in the name of the “Probash” programme of the Universal Pension Scheme.
According to the sources, 8,231 people have contributed their money to different programmes till August 17.
Among them, 4,371 people contributed under the Progoti scheme, 2,741 under Surokkha, 910 under Samata, and 209 under the Probash scheme.
An official of the pension authority said, "Many people are registering. But we do not consider the registration number as the real number. We see how many people have actually deposited money against the specific programme.”
