The Indian Ministry of Labour and Employment is evaluating a proposal to increase the minimum pension under the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS-95) from ₹1,000 to ₹7,500 per month. This potential change could significantly impact millions of salaried workers across India. Alongside this, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is expected to offer an annual interest rate of 8.25% on provident fund deposits, pending approval from the Finance Ministry. Another major reform includes the introduction of an ATM withdrawal facility for provident fund accounts, aimed at simplifying and expediting access to funds. This initiative is part of a broader digital push to enhance convenience for subscribers. The EPFO has also reported a notable increase in claim settlements, processing 8.31 crore claims in the financial year 2025-26, compared to 6.01 crore the previous year. Digital initiatives, including the E-PRAAPTI portal, are being implemented to further streamline processes and improve accessibility for users.
