The Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995 is funded from a carve-out of the employer’s EPF contribution (with a matching Central Government contribution where applicable) and pays a monthly pension to a member who completes the eligible pensionable service and attains superannuation, computed broadly as Pensionable Salary × Pensionable Service / 70, subject to the pensionable-salary wage ceiling unless a higher-wage option was validly exercised. It also covers widow/widower and children pension on the member’s death.
