Govt employee who retired on superannuation ie 58 years or 60 years as the case may be, not eligible for EPF. The criterion for EPF is for 58 years (recently it is enhanced to 60 years). Whether, he got the pension or not, whether, he withdrew PF or not, not eligible for EPF. Now a days organisations, other than exempted organisations are bound to implement EPF. But those who are less than 58/60 years, certainly can join into the scheme. Independent establishments and contractors are not recruiting people who are otherwise 58/60 years.
