Early Pension

Usually EPFO ​​gives pension from the age of 58 years, but if a member is entitled to pension and wants to get pension before the age of 58, then he can claim after the age of 50 years. EPFO ​​has also made a provision for early pension. However, in early pension, the pension of EPFO ​​​​members is reduced by 4 percent every year. That means if someone has to get a pension of Rs 10,000 at the age of 58, then on claiming at the age of 57, it will be reduced by 4% i.e. Rs 9,600 and at the age of 56, it will be reduced by 8% i.e. Rs 9,200 as pension.

Retirement Pension

Retirement pension is the pension that is given to you by EPFO ​​after you turn 58 years old. The amount of pension depends on your total contribution to the pension fund. If you want, you can claim pension after 58 years up to 60 years. In such a situation, EPFO ​​increases the pension of members by 4 percent every year.

Disability Pension

This pension is given when a person becomes temporarily or permanently disabled during service. For this, the condition of age and contribution to the pension fund for 10 years does not apply. If a subscriber has contributed to EPS for even two years, then he is entitled to this pension.’

Widow or child pension

After the death of an EPFO ​​subscriber, his wife and two children below the age of 25 years are entitled to pension. The third child is also entitled to pension, but when the pension of the first child stops at the age of 25, then the third child’s pension will start. The 10-year rule of pension does not apply even in the event of the death of an EPFO ​​subscriber. If a subscriber has contributed for even one year, then on his death his widow and children will be entitled to pension.
