Hi All,

Can anyone share with me the pension calculation as per EPS Act and the calculation before 1995?

Example:
Employee name: ABC
Last basic + DA: Rs. 15,000
Date of birth: 1st October 1958
Date of joining (PF, Pension service): 1st January 1991
Date of leaving: 1st October 2016

What is the pension amount?

As per Table for period up to 1995 if the salary is above Rs. 2500 the value is Rs. 85. Factor for calculating past service benefit is 4.843. The multiplication of both is Rs.412.

Pension is equal to pensionable salary multiplied by pensionable service divided by 70. Pensionable Service means the service after November 1995. That means you will have a service of 21 years till Oct 2016. Now, pensionable salary means the salary qualified for contribution to the Pension Fund. This was just Rs 6500 till September 2014. For an employee who has part of service coming in the period during which the contribution was made on Rs 6500, proportionate pension will be admissible. For the rest of the period only (i.e., for the period from Oct 2014), i.e., 2 years Rs 15000 will be taken as pensionable salary. For the period prior to Nov 1995, the past service benefit will be Rs 412 provided the salary at that time was more than Rs. 2500. Therefore, roughly the following MAY be the pension.

For the service prior to 1995: Rs 412

For service in between 1995 and 2014 (6500 X 19 (years) / 70) = Rs 1764

For the remaining period (15000 X 2 9 years / 70) = 429

Total: Rs 2605.

Please correct me if I am wrong. I would also invite Mr. Abbas to share some inputs on this.

Dear Mr. Madhu T.K.,

Effective from 01.09.2014, the pensionable salary is the average of the last 60 months. This is split into two periods: up to 31.08.2014 and from 01.09.2014 onwards. The average salary of the 60 months preceding 31.08.2014 is 6500/-. Your calculation method for this period is correct. However, the average salary until 30.09.2016 is calculated as follows: (25x15000 + 35x6500)/60 = (375000 + 227500)/60 = 602500/60 = 10042/-. Therefore, the approximate calculation would be 10042 x 2/70 = 287/-.

The total pension is the sum of (1) and (2), resulting in 2051 for 21 years. For 20 years of service and above, 2 additional years will be added as a bonus. Hence, the total pension becomes 2051 x 23/21 = 2246. Adding the past service benefit of 412, the final figure will be 2246 + 412 = 2658/-.

This is an approximate calculation, but it demonstrates the method of calculation accepted by EPFO.
