For contributing to PF there is no age limit but you cannot contribute to Pension Fund once you have attained the age of 60 years. Actually the age for contributing to pension fund is 58, but it can be extended to two years. This can be without contribution to pension fund or with contribution to pension fund.
If you defer pension for one year, if you opt to start pension at the age of 59, you will get 4% additional pension. If you opt for drawing pension at 60 years of age, ie, deferring pension for two years, the pension will be increased by 8.16%.
If you continue contributing to pension fund till 59 or 60 years, as the case may be the pensionable service will also be increased to that extent.
Since your employer is not contributing to pension fund you can either start drawing pension or defer it for one more year so that you can avail 8.16% additional pension amount.
