Among them, 4,371 people contributed under the Progoti programme, 2,741 under Surokkha, 910 under Samata, and 209 under the Probas programme.
An official of the pension authority said, "Many people are registering. But we don't consider the registration number as the real number. We see how many people have actually deposited money against the specific program."
