Hi,

Please suggest the best plan with regards to PF. I have worked in two organizations. In my first company, I worked for about 2 years and 10 months, and in the second company for about 8 years and one month, totaling 10 years and 11 months. Am I eligible for a pension? If I am eligible for a pension, from when can I avail the pension?

Now, I want to set up my own business and do not wish to work further. Should I withdraw my pension, which has been accumulated for nearly 11 years, or am I eligible for a pension? What kind of action should I take to ensure it might help me further? Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards,
Bhaskar

Dear Mr. Bhaskar,

You are eligible to receive a pension from the age of 50 years onwards with 2 conditions:

1. You must have been relieved from PF applicable service.
2. For each year below 58 years, there will be a 4% reduction in the pension amount.

To receive the full pension, you will need to wait until you reach the age of 58 years.

Thanks Abbas for answering. As of now i might have to wait for 20 plus years to avail pension to reach 58 years. So, please suggest what are the options available at present ?

Dear Mr.Bhaskar, You have two options. 1. You may either avail reduced pension after completion of 50 years, or 2. Receive full pension on completion of 58 years. Abbas.P.S
