Manama:The Social Insurance Organisation (SIO) has introduced significant improvements to its pension transfer service for eligible beneficiaries. The process has been simplified to three steps, eliminating the need for six previously required documents and transitioning from a 10 working day process to an automated digital service.
According to Bahrain News Agency, Sahar Rashid Al Mannai, Chief Executive Officer of the SIO, stated that these enhancements are designed to speed up pension payments and simplify procedures for the families of deceased pensioners. This is achieved through electronic coordination with relevant authorities.
The initiative is part of the government's broader efforts to enhance public services, with a total of 800 services undergoing development and process reengineering to date.
