For those employees who have not signed the option form for contributions beyond the limit of 6500/-, can they still get the benefit? Can they sign the option for transferring the amount from their PF fund to the pension scheme?

    Dear All,

    Can anyone suggest me on the following:
    1. I retired in August 2011 and have not claimed my pension until June 2015. I received the amount for the pending period and pension regularly.
    2. Can I claim a 4% per year hike in pension as per the latest orders?
    3. Am I entitled to new enhancements as per the decision of the Supreme Court of India?

    Please suggest.

    Dear SKNIGA,

    Please note that you have been receiving a pension with a retrospective date, i.e., from the date of retirement in August 2011. You have applied belatedly for the pension in June 2015. You have mentioned that you have already received arrears of pension as well. The Supreme Court pension you are referring to has no relevance to your case. Members of EPS who are eligible for a pension can contribute to EPS for two years after attaining 58 years, or EPS members retired at 58 years can defer availing the pension by two years. Consequently, their pension amount will increase by 8.16%. Please peruse the attachment, which is self-explanatory.

  • Dear Abbas,

    Subject: The New Circular on 31-05-17 Regarding the New Pension Scheme

    What are the implications of the new circular on the New Pension Scheme issued on 31-05-2017? Almost all PSUs are managed by Trusts, and the PF is remitted to EPFO only.

    Will the new pension scheme be applicable to such PSUs, especially for ITI Limited?

    Regards,

    As per the new circular dated 31-05-2017 issued by EPFO, employees of exempted trusts are not eligible for full pension, although they have contributed to PF as per non-exempted trusts. Why this discrimination?

    Dear friends,

    EPFO's circular dated 31.05.2017 is an interim notification in compliance with the recommendation from the PEIC (Pension and EDLI Implementation Committee). The final decision has to be taken by the Central Board of Trustees (CBT).
