Employee Pension Scheme Certificate

Dear Friends,
I have resigned from a company after working there for around 5.5 years. I have received the Employee Pension Scheme 1995 form from my HR department. I am not able to decide whether I should go for the withdrawal of the pension fund or should I opt for the Scheme Certificate. Can you please guide me regarding the pros and cons of opting for a Scheme Certificate.
Thanks & Regards,
Sameer S Gupte

Sameer,
in case you opt for the scheme certificate, you will not receive the amount standing in credit of pension fund. But you will receive the pension at the completion of age of 58 years on production of above certificate in the department. This is long process and leaving employee generally prefer to withdrawal of whole amount (PF as well as amount under pension fund). Therefore if you want to withdraw full amount, do not opt for the scheme certificate.
This is now being going to mandatory to all to transfer the amount of PF into new PF account during the change of job.
Dear members please suggest in clarity of above.

Scheme Certificate can be used for both withdrawal benefit (one time) or monthly pension, in accordance with the contributory period. If you have a service of 9 years and six months or more, you will be eligible for pension. Otherwise you will get withdrawal benefit only.
Scheme certificate will neither deny withdrawal benefit or enble for pension.
Abbas.P.S

As far as I know, once you complete the 10 years of service, EPS cannot be withdrawn. The only option you have is to receive the pension after attaining the retirement at the age of 58 or after Voluntary retirement (VRS)
Note: The pension amount would be lesser if you opt for VRS

Dear sir,
I worked in a company from nov 2005 to aug 2015.i want to wirthdraw my pf.pls suggest what should do & i need pension scheme certificate.

Dear Mr. Sameersgupte,
Greetings .....
Let me put it this way ..... Pension is a Retirement Fund. It is expected that a man would not make a withdrawal from this Fund and allow it to grow and draw benefit at the age of 58. It is the decision of the Pensioner to opt for one time withdrawal or go for payment of monthly Pension (considering time value of money).
"Scheme Certificates" issued by different Organisation one serves during career show "Date of Membership" of Pension Fund and Continuity since/break in between that decides one's eligibility of amount of Pension.
You may keep collecting those Scheme Certificates and submit all to the Department when you reach 58.
