PMO Reviews Higher EPS Pension Cases as Bombay High Court Orders EPFO to Approve Claims
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has processed about 1.5 lakh higher Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) pension applications, with the Prime Minister's Office currently reviewing pending cases amid ongoing Supreme Court petitions. MP Ajeet Madhavrao Gopchade raised concerns about uniform implementation in the Rajya Sabha. Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court ruled that EPFO cannot reject higher pension claims based on employer trust rules or circulars previously set aside, directing EPFO to approve pending applications within eight weeks.
