\nThe Consul General emphasized the importance of facilitating remittances through accessible, secure, efficient, and reliable formal channels. He observed that initiatives such as the PASBAN Remittance Reward Scheme can help encourage the use of regulated banking channels while enabling overseas Pakistanis to better understand and benefit from available incentives.

The discussion focused on the scheme\u2019s objectives, its potential benefits for overseas Pakistanis, and the importance of strengthening awareness and engagement with the Pakistani diaspora.
\nAn interactive question-and-answer session provided participants with an opportunity to seek clarification, raise queries, and engage directly with the panelists on the scheme and its practical benefits. The active participation reflected the community\u2019s interest in learning more about formal remittance channels and available incentives.
