Today is the last chance to avail higher pension, so if you have not applied for it yet, you will not be able to apply for it after July 11, 2023. Earlier, the last date to apply was 26 June, which was extended to 11 July. Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) had said on June 26, 2023 that a last opportunity of 15 days is being given.
This time was given to the eligible members for pension to deal with any problem. Along with this, EPFO has given time till 30 September 2023 to the employers to upload the salary details of the employees applying for higher pension. In such a situation, it is expected that members can be given more time to apply for EPS. Let us know whether the date of higher pension application will be extended for the eligible members or not?
The deadline has been extended thrice
The deadline has been extended thrice by the EPFO for the employees to apply for higher pension. However, till 30 September 2023, the employer has been given time to upload the data of the members. In such a situation, more time can be given to eligible pensioners. According to ET’s report, this time can be given keeping in mind the problems of the employees. If there are more problems under EPFO, then the government can extend this time further.
why it is appropriate to consider it as the deadline
According to some experts, if you have not yet applied for higher pension, then you should do so because the deadline has been extended thrice. Apart from this, EPFO will now work on its process. In such a situation, it is appropriate to consider this as the last opportunity. If you are facing any problem in submitting the online application for verification then you can contact the officials at EPFiGMS for resolution.
Apply carefully
If you are going to apply then you should take special care. You should fill the information related to pension from personal information carefully, because if you make any kind of mistake then you can be deprived of higher pension.
