Understanding 'Diverted to Pension Fund' in PF Records: Can You Access It Before 58?

sunnyujjawal
In my PF sheet, I had a column "Diverted to Pension fund" - What does it mean?

After some Googling, I found it's a pension after 58 years.

Question: Can we get this amount before the age of 58?

PR Structure:
- Employee Share: Rs. 749
- Employer Share: Rs. 229
- Diverted to Pension fund: Rs. 520

It is the amount towards contribution for pension. If you have 10 years or more of service in EPS, you are eligible to get a pension. Otherwise, you will receive a one-time withdrawal benefit. Normally, a pension is eligible after the completion of 58 years of age. However, if you are not in service, you may get a pension after the completion of 50 years of age, provided you will lose 4% of the pensionable amount for each year below the age of 58 years.

It is the contribution to the pension fund, and the wording should be "contribution," as explained by Mr. Sunny Ujjwal. The amount is correctly calculated.
