Government Launches EPS 2026 Scheme and EPFO Digital Reforms to Enhance Pension Services
The government has introduced the EPS 2026 pension scheme, replacing earlier plans while protecting existing benefits under EFPS 1971 and EPS 1995. A special drive aims to resolve pending labor cases swiftly. Meanwhile, the EPFO promotes compliance and digital reforms through campaigns like Vishwaas and Amnesty Scheme-2026 to enhance social security delivery and dispute resolution. Common pension disputes arise from record errors, contribution mismatches, and eligibility misunderstandings, with guidance offered to help members avoid such issues.
