EPS Pension Kitni Milegi (Calculation Formula)
Formula:
Monthly Pension = (Pensionable Salary x Pensionable Service) / 70
- Pensionable Salary = pichle 60 months (5 saal) ki average pensionable salary
- Pensionable Service = total years of service (20+ saal pe +2 saal bonus)
- Minimum pension = Rs 1,000/month (chahe formula kam aaye)
Example (samajhne ke liye): Pensionable salary Rs 15,000 + 30 saal service = (15,000 x 30)/70 = ~Rs 6,428/month pension.
Pensionable salary pe wage ceiling lagti hai (jab tak higher pension na chuna ho) - isliye actual amount formula + ceiling pe depend.
Higher Pension Option (EPS-95)
- Normally EPS pension wage ceiling (limited salary) pe calculate hoti
- Higher pension opt karo to actual (full) salary pe pension - zyada amount
- Employee ko extra contribute nahi karna - employer ke 12% me se 1.16% (ceiling se upar) adjust hota
- Eligible members SC judgment ke baad higher pension apply kar sakte (EPFO portal)
Higher pension se retirement pension kaafi badh sakti - par apni eligibility + numbers EPFO/employer se confirm karo.
