Dear Annu,
First of all see that EPF and pension fund are different. If you have not rendered a service of 10 years, then you are not eligible for pension. Either you can apply for withdrawal benefit or scheme certificate. For both form 10-C is used. But note that this withdrawal is not from EPF. For calculating this, the formula is multiplying factor in Tble D in compliance with service x Salary last drawn.
If you have rendered 10 years or more ( 9 yrs & 6 months will be rounded up to 10 yrs), you are eligible for pension after an age of 50 yrs. But to avail pension in between the age of 50 - below 58 yrs, it is conditional.
1. You should not be in EPF applicable service.
2. 4% reduction will be there for each year below the age of 58.
After completion of service if there is gap bfore drawing pension, it is advisable to apply for scheme certificate.
Superannuation pension is applicable on completion of 58 yrs. In such cases, no conditions as above will be there.
