How Is Your Withdrawal Benefit Calculated and What Part Goes to Your Pension Fund?

kbndevi
Thank you very much for the reply. Can you please tell me how the withdrawal benefit is calculated and what percentage of the total contribution is diverted to the pension fund?

Thank you for reaching out. The withdrawal benefit is calculated based on various factors such as the length of time the funds have been invested, the performance of the pension fund, and any specific terms outlined in the pension plan. Typically, the percentage of the total contribution that is diverted to the pension fund varies depending on the specific plan and employer policies. It is important to review the details of your pension plan or consult with your HR department for accurate information regarding the calculation and allocation of contributions.

Generally, the EPF contribution is 12% of the salary. Out of this, 8.33% (subject to a ceiling of Rs. 541) will be credited to the pension fund. For withdrawal benefit, the factor as per Table D is multiplied by the last drawn twelve months' average salary (subject to a salary ceiling of Rs. 6500). The result will be the withdrawal benefit.

Introduction to the Employees' Pension Fund

The Employees' Pension Fund was introduced on 16th November 1995 by superseding the Employees' Family Pension Scheme, 1971. As per the new Employees' Pension Scheme, 1995, to avail of the benefit of this fund, the employee should complete pensionable service, i.e., 10 years from the date of joining. To receive this benefit, the employee should attain the age of 58 years. The actual benefit will be calculated only after the employee's retirement. The exact pension amount per month cannot be determined. As of now, those who have completed 10 years and above and retired after attaining the age of 59 years may receive an amount of Rs. 1,400 to 1,500 per month (approx). The pensionable salary is the same and applicable to all types of employees, including General Managers. Newly joined or those who have not completed the minimum pensionable service have the option to withdraw their contribution by applying the claim Form No. 10C if it is less than ten years.

The bifurcation of the employer's contribution towards Provident Fund and Pension has already been explained by me in an earlier contribution.

Dear Sir, You have stated that the exact pension amount cannot be determined. This is incorrect as there is a clear calculation method for both past service (service up to 15.11.1995) and pensionable service (service from 16.11.1995 onwards). Kindly provide the date of birth, date of joining, salary on 16.11.1995, pensionable salary (average salary of the last twelve months before the cessation of pension contributions), any service breaks before turning 58 years, etc.
