According to the rules of EPFO, some part of the amount deposited in the PF account of the employee also goes to his pension account (EPS Account). This money is given every month in the form of pension after the retirement of the employee. But whether you are eligible for pension or not, how much pension money will you get?

If your money also goes to the PF account every month, then know here for your benefit that after how many years of service you become entitled to pension and what are the conditions for it?
How is pension calculated?
Every month 12 percent of the basic salary + DA of every employee goes to the PF account. Out of which 8.33 percent goes to his pension account and 3.67 percent goes to EPF every month.

Calculation of PF pension depends on the pension amount in PF, the pensionable salary of the member and the number of years of service. You can use this formula to calculate your pension – Pensionable Salary X Total Years of Service /70
