EPFO higher pension: Over 8,000 members apply as on March 4, 2023
The EPFO said over 8,000 subscribers have applied online for the higher pension option as on March 4, 2023. EPFO subscribers have time till May 3, 2023, to opt for higher pension. On February 27, 2023, the pension fund body extended the deadline to opt for the option from March 3 to May 6 this year. The online joint (employee and employer) option form with the necessary documents has been hosted by the EPFO in the unified portal for contributing on higher salary to the EPS-95, it said.
EPFO subscribers can opt for higher pension
The EPFO has allowed members to opt for higher pension under the Employee Pension Scheme (EPS). This means members can go beyond the pensionable salary capped at Rs 15,000 a month on which employers deduct 8.33% of the actual basic salary towards the EPS. EPFO will soon issue a detailed circular on the method of deposit, computation of pension, etc.
PF interest not credited for 2021-22
EPFO’s trustees have raised concerns over non-credit of interest on employees’ provident fund for 2021-22 despite its ratification in June 2022. The Employees Provident Organisation’s Central Board of Trustees in March 2022 approved an 8.1% interest on PF for financial year 2021-22. This was the lowest rate in over 4 decades.
SC quashes Rs 15,000-salary limit under EPS
November 4, 2022: The Supreme Court on November 4, 2022, upheld the validity of the Employees Pension (Amendment) Scheme, 2014. It, however, quashed the threshold limit of Rs 15,000 monthly salary for joining the pension fund. The 2014 amendment had capped the maximum pensionable salary (basic pay plus dearness allowance) at Rs 15,000 per month. Prior to the amendment, the maximum pensionable salary was capped at Rs 6,500 a month. The top court also held as invalid the condition in the 2014 scheme that required employees to make a further contribution at 1.16% on salary exceeding Rs 15,000. According to a circular issued by the Employees Provident Fund Organisation on December 29, 2022, the central government has directed it to implement the directives of the Supreme Court.
