Recently, the Supreme Court has given a decision in favor of employees for EPF pension hike, around 10 times. Now, can we contribute 8.33% towards EPF pension without any ceiling? Those who have recently retired can get this revised pension after paying the difference in contribution.

Hi B Surya Rao,

Referring to the Supreme Court decision which has opened the gateway for many covered employees in EPFO and entitled them to an EPS raised bar based on the amendment in the EPS Act in 1996. Yes, you can file your case with EPFO by contributing the difference in the amount payable. It is conditioned that those who were members of the scheme before August 2014, as the government amended the EPF act and deleted the provision that allowed employees to make a higher contribution and draw a pension based on their full salary.

So, check your joining date in EPS accordingly and file the case.

Dear P C Agrawal, B.Com., LL.B., CAIIB, FCS,

I would be obliged if you could share the PF Circular dated 31-05-17 on the subject pertaining to Exempted Establishments, or guide me on where I can obtain it. If I am not mistaken, the said PF Circular was annulled before various high courts, ultimately upheld by the Apex Court.

Kindly revert.

Regards
