BENEFITS OF PENSION SCHEME

a. An Employee is eligible for Pension after 10 years of service.

b. The Pension is payable on attaining the age of 58 years, whether he is in service or superannuated.

c. Early Pension at reduced rate can be availed on leaving the employment, after attaining the age of 50 years.

d. Where an employee is totally disabled and leaving service on account of disablement, Disablement Pension is allowed. No age and service stipulation to claim the pension. Every year, the pension quantum may increase.
e. Wherever the Pension claims are received three months before the date of superannuation, the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner will deliver the Pension Payment Order on the day of superannuation.

g. A Pensioner may nominate a person to receive a lumpsum amount after his death, as Return of Capital.

h. Family Pension is payable in case of death of a member:

  • after leaving the employment.
  • while in employment.
  • after drawing the pension

– Family Pension is payable even where the death occurs before 10 years of service. Thus, the minimum eligible service of 10 years is not applicable.

– On death of a pensioner. the Pension is automatically payable to the spouse (widow / widower).

– When a member dies as Bachelor or Spinster or where there is no spouse or children below 25 years, the Family Pension is payable to Nominee till his/her death.

– When there is no valid nomination, the Family Pension is payable to dependent father followed by dependent mother.

– In addition to Family Pension to Widow / Widower, Children below 25 years are also eligible for Pension simultaneously. It is payable to the married daughters also, below the age of 25 years.

– On death or re-marriage of widow / widower, Children will be given enhanced pension treating such children as Orphan.

– On behalf of the minor children the pension is payable to guardian.

– Any child in a family with total and permanent disablement will receive Children Pension till death.

– The pension can be drawn anywhere in India.

– The employees with less than 10 years of service on the day of superannuation may avail the benefit of withdrawal from Pension Fund. Where an employee has not served for 10 years on the date of leaving service, he may obtain a Scheme Certificate so as to continue his membership during un-employment period and the same can be used to count the previous service as and when he joins another establishment covered under the Act.

– The employees who have not contributed to the Employees’ Family Pension Scheme, 1971 can also join the Employees’ Pension Scheme before attaining the age of 58 years, at their option, after paying the contribution and interest upto-to-date.

– The Pension quantum is determined separately for the period of service from 1.3.1971 to 15.11.1995 as fixed amount. This is known as “Past Service” benefit.

– The Pension for the service rendered after 15.11.1995 is calculated through formula namely,

Pensionable Salary x Pensionable Service÷ 70

i. An employee on his superannuation is entitled for Pension (through the above formula) upto 60% of the pensionable salary. (Pensionable Salary would mean, the salary drawn by the employee for a period of 12 months prior to the date of superannuation).

  14. VENKATARAMAN says:

    Your pension amount will be pension amount Based on Rs. 6500/- per month based on service and pensionable amount for 10 years as the formula 6500*10/70 = 913/- . Earlier year for 21 year and 5 month around Rs.2500/- . Totally Rs. 3413/-. Roughly around Rs. 3500/- based the revised pensionable amount Rs. 15000/- was considered from last one year. Hence the total pensionable is very merger amount which will not be compensated the cost index of commodities and life. This has to be revised for the benefit the employee and society as whole.

  33. Abbas.P.S says:

    For pension calculation, the service will be taken into 2 parts. Service before 16.11.95 and service w.e.f 16.11.95. The first one is called as past service and latter one as pensionable service. Past service is divided into 4 slabs. Service upto 11 years, 12 to 15 years, 16 to 19 years and 20 & above. If the salary on 16.11.95 is below Rs. 2500, the monthly compensation will be Rs. 80, 95, 120 & 150 respectively. For Rs. 2500 & above this will be Rs. 85, 105, 135 & 170. This amount is for those who attain 58 years on 16.11.95. In the case of those attain 58 years after 16.11.95, the above compensation will be multiplied by a factor stipulated in table B, according to the difference between 16.11.95 and the date of completion of 58 years.

    For pensionable service there is a formula to calculate pension. It is Pensionable Salary x Pensionable Service / 70. Pensionable salary can be categorised in to 3. 1) Below Rs. 6500. 2) Rs. 6500 & above, but contribution on statutory celing of Rs. 6500. 3) Above Rs. 6500 & opted to contribute on actual salary. In case of 2nd, pensionable salary is Rs. 6500. In other two cases, pensionable salary will be the average of last twelve months. Also if pensionable service is 20 years & above 2 year’s bonus will be given.

    For details please see the web site :
    EPFO

    One example I shall quote.

    Date of Birth – 2.1.1961
    Date of join – 23.2.1987
    Salary on 16.11.95 – Rs. 2500 & above
    Salary on completion of 58 years on 1.1.2019 – Rs. 6500 (Statutory Ceiling)

    Past Service – 8 yr 9 m (approx) rounded to 9 years
    Compensation – Rs. 85
    Factor as per Table B (for less than 24 years, i.e the difference between 16.11.95 & 1.1.2019) – 6.102
    (This can be calculated as 1.08 to the power of 24 – 0.5, correct to 3 decimals)
    Past Service Benefit – 85 x 6.102 = Rs. 519 – (A)

    Pensionable Service – 23 years
    Bonus (Service is 20 & above) – 2
    Pensionable Salary – Rs. 6500
    Pensionable Benefit – 6500 x 25 / 70 = 2321 – (B)

    Total Pension – (A) + (B) = Rs. 2840

    Besides the above method of calculation there will be a minimum for those who have service before 16.11.95. In the EPS-95, they are categorised into three.
    1. Date of commencement of Pension before 16.11.2000
    2. Date of commencement of Pension between 16.11.2000 & 16.11.2005
    3. Date of commencement of Pension after 16.11.2005

    As the first two categories are already over, I shall a give a brief on third.

    Pensionable benefit (minimum) of Rs. 635 and Past service benefit as mentioned above, subject to a minimum of Rs. 800. This amount is for 24 yrs or more service. If it is less than 24 yrs, this will be reduced in proportionate (amount x actual service / 24). However this amount will be subject to a minimun of Rs. 450.

  34. V.B.Gulawani says:
