Confused About Reduced Pension Under EPS 1995? Seeking Advice on Recalculation

While calculating my pension amount under the Employees' Pension Scheme 1995, instead of using the last 60 months' average salary, they have applied a formula to calculate the pension amount, with part of it at Rs. 6500 and the remaining part at Rs. 15000. Since my superannuation date was in December 2018 and a major portion of my contribution was under the Rs. 6500 regime, I am receiving a reduced pension. Can I write to the pension authorities to revisit my pension calculations? Can anyone provide advice on this matter?

You should have gained at least 4 months and three months, i.e., 51 months with a pensionable salary of Rs 15,000, and only the remaining 9 months were with Rs 6,500. The non-contributing months included in this period should also have influenced your actual pension. Without knowing these details, it is not possible to check whether there was any calculation error. If you think that your pension is very low, you can contact the office.

Current Situation in the PF Office
The current situation in the PF office is that people are rushing towards the office to find out whether they could apply for a higher pension. This includes people who have never contributed on a salary higher than Rs 15,000.
