EPFO Pension Benefits and Form 10C Eligibility Explained
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) manages retirement benefits for formal sector employees in India through schemes like the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS). Employees become eligible for pension after 10 years of service, with contributions from employers and the government. Form 10C allows members to claim a lump sum or obtain a Scheme Certificate, which records pensionable service and aids in pension eligibility when changing jobs. Pension payments typically begin at age 58, with options to delay until 60. Recent updates include an increased wage ceiling for EPF coverage.
