Dear Sir,
I need information regarding the benefits available to an employee under EPS, if he joins a Company for the first time in his life time and that too at the age of 57 years. I have a case like this and not able to explain the benefits available under the EPS due to the stipulated conditions of contribution towards EPS. (i.e. No contribution after 58 years of age and minimum of 10 years continuous contribution to become eligible for pension )
This is a rare case and request you for your opinions and suggestions.
Regards

Dear Mr.N.Mohan,
EPS is statutory and there is no option other than join to those becoming a member of EPF. If the member is not eligible to get pension, he can avail withdrawal benefit, provided the member has a service of at least 6 months in EPS.
But our Central Trade Union Leaders are requested to raise the point before the authorities to make necessary amendments to EPS-95 to exclude the employees who have no opportunity to avail pension due to crossing the age.

Since he could be a member for only 1 year or so, withdrawal benefits only are available to him. Since, this is statutory, there is no way out.

Dear All,
Due to the recent revision in wage limit under PF, I feel at least few will fall in this category.I am of the opinion that the benefits available under EPS is very less in the cases like this. Please correct me if I am wrong. Also,request you all for the opinions and suggestions.
