The Seychelles Pension Fund is a cost sharing retirement system through contributions from employers, employees including the self-employed and investments.

It provides pensions on retirement, in case of disability and to qualified surviving spouses and children in case of death of the member before and after retirement.

It also provides benefits to dependents or heirs where the member does not have children or surviving spouse and through a lump sum payment equivalent to their contribution for those who eventually do not qualify for a pension.
