Dear Swarli
Greetings.
You have raised a good question.
The employer`s share bifurcated in to two portion as Pension scheme contn and employees share. as follows.
Pension fund scheme contn 8.33%
Employees contn 3.67%
Hence an employees receives 15.67% of the total 24% PF contn(Both employer and employee) for which every year annual slips will be provided with interest @ 9.5% per annum.
When an employee resigns this 15.67% can collected from the EPF office.
and for the pension fund, he has two options.
Option A : Scheme certificate, where an employee can accumulate from two or three employers scheme certificates totalling to ten years will make him eligible for Pension after retirement at 58 years.
Option B : Employee can get the accumulation of pension fund which is calculated based on the salary and no of year of service. This amount will be disbursed by way a another cheque which is almost same as the amount one deposited in the PF account.
Any clarifications, I am here to help
