The deadline for employees to submit joint applications to avail pension based on their actual salary, rather than the statutory salary, is 26 June, 2023
The employees’ provident fund organisation (EPFO) has issued a recent circular instructing field officers to expedite the review and verification of joint applications submitted by employees and employees and employers seeking a higher pension based on their actual salary. The EPFO aims to streamline the process and address any errors or mistakes made by employers or pensioners promptly.
According to the circular, the scrutiny process must be completed in not more than 20 days. During this time, field officers will carefully examine the submitted data and documents and communicate with employers or pensioners if any additional proof or correction is needed. The EPFO is dedicated to ensuring a smooth validation of joint options and facilitating efficient processing of applications.
