One year after Supreme Court verdict, EPFO releases FAQs for implementing higher pension

The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), more than a year after the Supreme Court’s verdict on higher Provident Fund pension, has sent to all its units a set of frequently asked questions (FAQ) on implementing the verdict. Trade unions and employers’ representatives have been seeking clarity from the EPFO on the matter, especially on accessing the records of an employee while validating the joint options seeking higher pension based on higher wages.

The FAQ document, prepared by the Regional PF Commissioner (Pensions) Aparajita Jaggi, answers nine questions on the implementation of the Supreme Court verdict delivered on November 4, 2022.

The EPFO says that the FAQ document is an updated version, but members of the EPFO’s Central Board of Trustees (CBT) said they had been demanding a set of FAQs for many months.
