EPFO New Pension Rule 2025: The government has given a big gift to the employed people. Now if an employee works for just 1 month, he will get the right to EPFO pension. Earlier this facility was available only to those who worked for a long time, but now it has been changed.
This will benefit the most people working in BPO, logistics, contract or short-term jobs. Often people leave their jobs early in such places and their pension contribution also ends. The new rule will protect their interests.
What was the rule earlier?
Under the first rule, if someone worked for less than 6 months, his pension portion was not valid. Now even after working for one month, the employee will be considered included in EPS (Employee Pension Scheme) and will get the benefit of pension. After the introduction of this rule, those who work for a short time will benefit a lot.
How to check pension status?
- You can easily find out whether you have got the benefit of EPS pension or not.
- For this, first check your EPF passbook. The passbook shows the amount deducted under EPS and their contribution.
- To view the passbook, visit this official website: https://passbook.epfindia.gov.in/MemberPassBook/login.
- Login with your UAN number and password and view the EPS deduction.
Where to complain if you see something wrong
If EPS deduction is not visible in the passbook or you are not getting your pension share, then you can complain online to EPFO mentioning the year 2024. This will enable you to get the benefit of pension as per your rights. This change has brought a lot of relief to the youth and temporary employees. Now their contribution will be safe even in a short-term job and they will be able to get pension in future.
