There Four situations when pension can be
applied for:

7. 1. On superannuation
(Age 58 years or more and
atleast 10years of service)
The member can continue in
service while receiving
this pension
On attaining 58 Years of age,
a EPF member cease to
be a member of EPS
automatically
2. Before superannuation
(Age between 50 and 58 years
and at least ten years of
service)
The member should not be in
service
3. Death of the member Death while in service or
Death while not in service
4. Permanent disability Permanently and totally unfit
for the employment which
the member was doing at the
time of such disablement

8. Scheme Certificate
 This Certificate shows the service & family details of a member
 This is issued if the member has not attained the age
of 58 while leaving an establishment and he applies for this
certificate
 Member can surrender this certificate while joining another
establishment and the service stated in the certificate is
added with the service he is gaining from the new
establishment.
 After attaining the age of 50 or above, the member can apply
for Pension by surrendering this scheme certificate (if total
service is at-least 10 years)
 This is a better choice than Withdrawal Benefit, as a member
dies holding a valid scheme certificate, his family will get
pension (Death when NOT in service)

9. Withdrawal Benefit
If not eligible for pension, member may withdraw
the amount accumulated in his pension account.
The calculation of this amount is based only on (i)
Last average salary and (ii) Service (Not based on
actual amount available in Pension Fund Account)
No amount is taken from Member to give Pension to
the Member. Employer and Govt. contributes to
Pension fund @8.33% and @1.61% respectively
EPFO guarantees pension to members, even if the
Employer has not contributed to Pension Fund.

apply for settlement of PF in Form-19. If the exit is before 55
years of age, the member should not work in any covered

 If the member dies, Family members/Nominee have to apply in
Form-20 for settlement of PF (In case of death, apply in From-
10D and Form-5IF for Pension and EDLI also)
How to transfer the account / What to do
if joined in another establishment
