Deadline for higher pension from EPS ends today, complete details inside

The Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) application deadline will end on July 11, which is today i.e. Tuesday. However, a lack of clarity has left many people confused

The EPFO moved the deadline for applying for a higher pension from June 26 earlier to July 11 due to some unavoidable reasons. Amjad Khan, Director of Employee Benefits Practice and International Business at Anand Rathi Insurance Brokers says, "Although the EPFO is entitled to extending the deadline once again, I figure the deadline of July 11 should be approached with caution, as this might actually be the last extension to apply for a higher EPS. When the EPFO extended the June deadline, they cleared all possible confusion and queries.

It is, therefore, imperative that you start filling out the form and apply for higher pension under EPF, as only a few hours are left.

The EPFO has empowered an online facility to apply for higher pension contributions. To apply, you can visit the site https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/.

Fill in every detail. For instance, you will need to have your UAN, name, date of birth, Aadhaar information, and spelling checked before entering it into the form. It is relevant to take note that your Aadhaar must be connected to a Mobile Number while applying for a higher pension. This is because you receive an OTP on your mobile number that is linked to your Aadhaar and will assist you in validating the application.
