Hike in EPF pension - recent Supreme Court ruling - contribute 8.33% towards EPF pension without any ceiling

Recently Supreme Court has given decision in favour of employee for EPF pension hike around 10 times. Now can we contribute 8.33% towards EPF pension without any ceiling and who has already retired recently can get this revised pension after paying difference in contribution.

Hi B Surya Rao,
Referring to SC decision which has opened the gateway for many covered employees in EPFO and are entitled for EPS raised bar which was based on amendment in the EPS Act in 1996, yes you can file your case with epfo with contributing the difference of amount payable, conditioning that who were the member of scheme before August 2014 as the government amended the EPF act and deleted the provision that allowed the employees to make a higher contribution and draw pension based on full salary.
So check your joining date in EPS accordingly and file the case.

Hi Harpreet,
I am a member of this scheme since 1993. I understand that I am eligible to avail this scheme. Please let me know the formalities to avail this benefit and how to calculate the difference amount to be paid now and what would be the pension amount that I would receive after my retirement.
