LAHORE, May 31: The two-month old ban imposed on advance from the General Provident Fund in Punjab will be lifted from June 1. Punjab Accountant-General Wazir Ahmad Qureshi said this while presiding over a meeting of the review committee here on Tuesday. He said the ban had been imposed for updating accounts of the employees.

He said the employees reaching the age of 55 had been allowed the facility to get GP Fund deposits at different places of posting consolidated to facilitate trouble-free withdrawal at the time of their retirement. The employees could approach the special cell established at the AG’s Office for getting their deposits consolidated, he said.
