Is an Employee Who Joined in 2010 and Retired in 2023 Eligible for a Higher EPF Pension?

An employee joins in May 2010. He retires in May 2023. Was he eligible to apply for a higher pension in EPF?

Yes, provided your employer's contribution is for the full PF payable salary and higher than Rs. 6,500 before September 2014.

In addition to what Baba-Ram has said, I would like to suggest that the post-September 2014 period should also include contributions by the employer for employees with a salary above Rs 15,000.

Yes, the employee will be eligible to apply for a higher pension in EPF. The employee has completed a total of 13 years of service, which is more than the minimum requirement of 10 years. The employee also joined the EPF before September 1, 2014, which is the cut-off date for eligibility for a higher pension.
