Sir,
I was on in Ltd co. From 1972 to 1991 I had got lumpsum from EPs fund. Shall I be eligible for some pension under new amended act dated 20/02/2020. Please advice.
My PPO number is 3000151. I had opted for commuted pension & getting Rs.782/- since last 20 years plus. What shall I do to get full pension as per amendment dated 4th April 2019.
Si
presently I am getting Rs.1450 as epf-95 pension. so how much I will get after this amendment.r
Please clarify in the following case. An employee has retired on 01-01-2005. His pension worked out to Rs.3000/- pm. He has received 1000*100 = 100000 as 1/3rd commuted value of his pension. He is in receipt of balance pension of Rs.2000/- pm. He has completed 15 years pension on 31-12-2019. Does this amendment means that he will get Rs.3000/- (original pension before commutation) from January 2020. Please inform even if i am wrong.
