Give an opportunity to pre-2014 retirees to avail of higher PF pensions: Kerala MP

The Hindu  

The demand to provide an opportunity to those pensioners who came under the Employees’ Pension Scheme of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation and retired prior to September 1, 2014, without exercising the joint option to avail themselves of higher PF pensions, has been renewed by John Brittas, Member of Parliament from Kerala. In a seven-page letter sent to the Union Labour Minister Bhupender Yadav a few days ago,, the MP referred to the November 2022 judgement of the Supreme Court which stated that pre-2014 retirees would not be eligible to get the benefit of its scheme. Gupta case and they were eligible for “submitting joint options afresh without any cut-off date.” The MP also pointed out that the power of the government to formulate a policy in favour of the pre-2014 retirees would be “in addition to and not in derogation” of the right of the retirees to claim higher pensions through courts of law. The online facility for exercising the option in respect of those who retired after September 1, 2014 or who were still in service had “impractical requirements and complex process,” creating “significant challenges and hurdles” for the pensioners in availing themselves of the benefits of higher pension, the letter said.
