Currentness alert: the EPF, EPS and EDLI scheme repositories must be read with the 4 August 2026 corrigenda — G.S.R. 703(E), 704(E) and 705(E) respectively. This overlay adds that warning to the existing scheme indexes instead of silently presenting the 29 June text as the last word.

What the corrigenda mean for publication
Do not copy a numeric pension/insurance formula from a pre-4-August article without reconciling it to the relevant corrigendum. The EPS corrigendum includes terminology, cross-reference and computation-related corrections; the EDLI and EPF corrigenda also contain corrections that can affect interpretation. The package flags the dependency rather than rewriting paragraph text from a secondary summary.
