Your
PAGB membership is valid for ONE calendar year and is due for
renewal at the beginning of the new year. In order to facilitate
the renewal process, the PAGB allows a grace period until the
next Pakistan Day (23rd of March). If you haven’t renewed your
membership until then PAGB no longer considers you a current
member and hence the benefits mentioned above do not apply. If
the above is not the case, please contact the Director of
Membership or General Secretary to rectify the problem. The
current members list can be found at:
