If you want to get more pension from EPFO then this Jugaad will be useful, if you are a salaried person then understand this useful thing.
Like Early Pension, if you want to get more pension from EPFO then there is a way for this too, which most people do not know. If you are a salaried person then understand this useful thing here.
EPFO gives pensions to its members after retirement, provided that the member has given his contribution to EPFO for at least 10 years. Pension is decided based on contribution. Usually, this pension is available after retirement at the age of 58 years. But if an employee wants to take a pension before 58 years, then also he can claim it. EPFO allows the employee to take pension between 50 to 58 years. However, this pension is available on the basis of some conditions. But if you want to take more pension from EPFO, then there is a way for this too, which most people do not know. If you are a salaried person, then understand the important thing here.
According to the rules of EPFO, a pension is usually given on completion of 58 years, but if the employee is still in job after 58 years, then he can stop his pension for two more years i.e. till the age of 60 and can continue his contribution to the pension fund till the age of 60. In such a situation, the employee gets pension at an additional rate of 4% every year. In such a situation, if the employee takes pension at the age of 59, then he is given pension at an additional rate of 4%, while at the age of 60, he is given pension at an additional rate of 8%. For calculating their pension, the service and salary of the years after 58 years of pension is also taken into account.
If you want to take a pension between 50 years to 58 years then…
If your age is between 50 years to 58 years, then only you can claim for Early Pension. But in this, you get less pension. The earlier you withdraw the money from the age of 58, the lesser will be your pension at the rate of 4% for each year. Suppose an EPFO member decides to withdraw the reduced monthly pension at the age of 56, then he will get 92% (100% – 2×4) of the basic pension amount i.e. he will get a reduced pension of 8%. To get Early Pension, you have to fill out the Composite Claim Form and select the option of Form and 10D for Early pension.
If you are under 50 years of age
If you have completed 10 years of service and your age is less than 50 years, then you cannot claim for pension. In such a situation, after leaving the job, you will only get the funds deposited in EPF. Pension will be available from the age of 58.
If you have less than 10 years of job
If your job period is less than 10 years, then you are not entitled to a pension. In such a situation, you have two options. First, if you do not want to work, you can withdraw the pension amount along with the PF amount. The second option is that if you think that you will join a job again in the future, you can take a pension scheme certificate. In such a situation, whenever you join a new job, you can link your previous pension account to the new job through this certificate. With this, whatever is shortfall in the 10 years of employment, you can make up for it in the next job and become eligible to get a pension at the age of 58.
