The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is reportedly considering an increase in the minimum monthly pension under the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS-95) from ₹1,000. This potential change aims to benefit members who currently receive lower pensions due to their basic salaries being below the minimum threshold. Employees contributing to the EPS with an average basic pay of ₹15,000 over their last 60 months and a service period of at least 10 years are eligible for the pension. The pension is calculated using the formula: Pension = (Pensionable salary × pensionable service years) / 70. Employees with an average pay below ₹7,000 would particularly benefit from the hike, as they currently receive less than the minimum pension. The government is considering raising the minimum pension to amounts ranging from ₹1,500 to ₹3,000, which would impact various salary brackets, especially those with shorter service periods. However, employees with higher salaries and longer service periods may not see significant benefits unless the increase is substantial.
