EPF Pension Eligibility: What Happens If You Join at 52 and Retire Before 10 Years?

If one person joined at the age of 52, as per the EPF Act, we have to submit his EPF and EPS contributions. However, he will not complete 10 years of tenure within the age of 58. Is he eligible for EPF Pension or not?

As the employee joined at the age of 52 and is covered under EPFO, it will be required to contribute to both EPF & EPS. The employee will not be eligible for a pension, but at the time of final settlement, the employee will receive the deposited pension amount along with the PF amount.
