In case the employer refuses to bear the cost and the family financial position is not good, in that case, the concerned Pakistan Mission abroad used to refer the case/request to OPF for consideration and approval. Previously, dead bodies of the deceased Overseas Pakistanis were transported to Pakistan through PIA on charge collect basis, on the production of Certificate by the Pakistan Mission and payment were made to PIA by OPF. 97 dead bodies from various countries were transported from abroad bearing expenses amounting to Rs. 921,795/-.
