The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) occasionally makes critical choices.  This has led to another significant decision. The pension has been raised to Rs. 7,500, or Rs. 1000.  This will help roughly 7.8 million pensioners.

The long-awaited moment has finally arrived for retirees nationwide. The minimum pension ceiling has been raised to Rs 7,500 by EPFO. As a result, managing inflation will provide some financial respite. 78 lakh seniors nationwide will profit from this national government action.  Beginning in april 2025, the pension increase will take effect. Additionally, a new DA will be accessible. Long-standing concerns have been raised about how the current financial crisis will be handled since the minimum pension was set at Rs 1,000. The minimum pension will be increased going forward.

Numerous health, food, and housing cost gains will result from this. Because the pension is seven times greater than what is already provided, pensioners will benefit. DA will be paid to EPFO pensioners based on the AICPI index. There is currently 7% DA available. According to EPS 95, this applies to retired personnel. This is available to anyone with ten years of service. Applying for a higher pension is not required. The bank account associated with Aadhaar will get this sum. Updates to KYC are necessary to prevent any inconvenience.
