One of the World’s largest Social Security Organisations, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has extended the last date to upload wage details for higher pension by 5 months.
Earlier, EPFO facility was for eligible pensioners/members in compliance with the Hon’ble Supreme Court order dated 04.11.2022. The facility was launched on 26.02.2023 and was to remain available only till 03.05.2023.
However, considering the representations of the employees, the time limit was extended to 26.06.2023 to provide a complete four months to eligible pensioners/members for filing applications.
A last opportunity of 15 days was further given to remove any difficulty faced by the eligible pensioners/ members. Accordingly, the last date for submission of Applications for Validation of Options / Joint Options by employees was extended to 11.07.2023.
The employers were also given a further period of three months to submit wage details, etc. online latest by 30.09.2023.
This time was further extended till 31.12.2023 because many representations were received from Employers and employers’ Associations wherein requests were made to extend further period for uploading wage details of applicant pensioners/members.
Therefore, to ensure that employers process these remaining Applications for Validation of Options / Joint Options, the Chairman, CBT EPF has kindly approved the proposal to grant another extension of time for the employers to upload wage details online, etc till 31st May 2024.
More than 3.6 lakh Applications for Validation of Option / Joint Options are still pending with the employers for processing.
