Hi Buddy,
The recent changes in PF from the EPF notification said that employee cannot withdraw the employer contribution while leaving the organization however after attaining the age of 58 years only they can claim the employer contribution and earlier to the amendment there is a provision in EPF act which allow employee to withdraw certain part of PF after attaining the age of 54 now after the amendment it is changed to 57.
But there is no any amendment specifying contribution paid after 58 years as you mentioned above.
Please Visit PF website for more info.

In the recent amendment it was noticed that full EPF accumulations can't be withdrawn before attaining the age of retirement i.e 58 years of age.Continuity of EPF membership increase in age limit to withdraw 90% of EPF balance is the only features.

Thanks all for your valuable contribution...
But my question is after the age of 58 years does an employee get 12% contributed by the employer or he/she get pension in accordance to the fund the department had at that time....

After age of 58 yrs employees are not eligible for EPS (Pension) benefits.
