Am I Eligible for a Pension Revision Based on My Last Salary and Age with EPFO?

G. Singh
Dear Sir, I have worked with two employers throughout my life, with some breaks in contribution. I had two different UAN numbers and received final settlements with EPFO for both accounts based on these UAN numbers. My first account was with EPFO Delhi (North) and the second was with Delhi (South).

First Service History in EPFO Records

My first service history in EPFO records is as follows:
- Date of Joining: 01/10/1990
- Past Service (Service up to 15.11.95)
- Actual Service (Service after 15.11.95)
- NCP Days: 5 Years, 1 Month, 15 Days
- Wages on 15.11.95: ₹2600
- Wages on Date of Exit: ₹6500
- Eligible Service: 23 Years
- Pensionable Service: 17 Years, 11 Months, 27 Days
- Pensionable Salary: ₹6481
- Weightage Service: 0
- Type of Pension: SUPERANNUATION
- Date of Commencement Pension: 01/04/2015

Last and Second Service History as per EPFO Records

My last and second service history as per EPFO records is as follows:
- Date of Joining EPF: 01/08/2015
- Date of Joining EPS: 01/08/2015
- FPS NOT AVAILABLE
- Date of Exit EPF: 31/03/2016
- Date of Exit EPS: 31/03/2016
- FPS NOT AVAILABLE

Currently, I am receiving a pension as per EPFO records based on contributions made through my previous employer. My last drawn wage was Rs. 8854 per month, and I am currently receiving Rs. 2231 per month. My last salary drawn was Rs. 12500 per month at the age of 59 years, completed as of 31.3.2016.

Please advise me on whether I am entitled to a revision of pension based on my last drawn salary and age as of 31.3.2016. Kindly guide me on the further process to have my pension revised.

Thank you.

As the 1st UAN was created for you upon superannuation, that means you were 58+ at the time of the 1st exit, and EPS stops accruing at 58+ years of age. You did not combine both UANs but withdrew them separately. Consequently, the money from the second UAN, including EPS (if any), was returned to you in full (in the form of 10C). You were required to fill out Form 13 to merge both accounts before proceeding with the withdrawal, which you did not do.

Now, on what basis do you consider yourself eligible for a pension based on the second-to-last drawn salary?
