EPS 95 Pension Hike 2025 : Both of them were trained on data until October 2023. After a long wait by a section of pensioners under the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS-95) after continuous late relief from EPFO (Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation), the pension of pensioners will increase beginning April 2025. This was also a result of protests by the pensioners for many years for increasing the minimum pension and providing post-retirement financial relief.
What After EPS-95 Pension Increase?
EPS-95 is the management system under which EPFO is controlling employee benefits to retired employees, regardless of private or public sector employment in India. Currently, however, thousands of pensioners with pensions of only ₹1,000 per month lament their almost pathetic situation, and the issue is now criticized and calls for reforms in the light of rising costs of living.
Reports coming up now go in the line that a-hike in pension amount is set for a huge, and that real pension disbursement for eligible pensioners will be effective from April 2025. And though the raise is not measured and publicly announced, sources claim that says minimum pension goes up to ₹7,500 per month, coming as unbelievable relief for retired employees.
Who Will Avail Of EPS-95 Pension Hike?
This additional increase in pension benefits directly for:
- The retired employees under EPS-95, most of whom currently receive very low pension benefits;
- Spouses and dependent kin of deceased pensioners, through survivor benefits;
- Employees who opted for greater pension contributions under EPFO’s revised pension scheme.
Why Is There A Rise In Pensions?
Rising wages under EPS-95 have their causes in:
- Inflation and the rising costs of living eating away at pensioners’ purchasing power.
- Long-standing demands of the pensioners’ associations regarding a minimum pension of ₹7,500.
- The Supreme Court ruling on higher pension, which orders EPFO to reconsider pension computation.
- Compelling government advancement concerning the financial security of retirees.
