You may receive ₹5892 per month. It will be calculated like this: the last EPF-contributed basic salary multiplied by total years of service plus 1, divided by 70. Please check with your regional PF office or their customer care center for clear details.

Dear Stephen, I cannot follow your calculation of PF. You have taken the full service for pension calculation. Actually, his pensionable service is 19 years, i.e., from Nov 1995, the date on which the pension scheme was introduced, to July 2014, the date of attaining 58 years of age.
Again, the pension is not calculated on the entire salary that he was drawing at the time of retirement or the average of the same for the last one year as you have taken, but it is restricted to Rs. 6500 wherever the PF qualifying salary is more than 6500. (Since Sept 2014, this has become Rs. 15000) Therefore, the pensionable salary should be taken as Rs. 6500 and not Rs. 12550. The pension will be Rs. 1764. Since he had a past service of 13 years, he will get a past service benefit calculated as per a separate schedule for this. This will be around Rs. 400.

Clarification on Pensionable Salary Calculation
I do not understand the above clarification about the pension. In July 2014, the ceiling limit for pensionable salary was Rs. 6500, and from 1st September 2014, the ceiling was Rs. 15000. I think that the pensionable salary will be calculated as follows: for July and August, the base will be Rs. 6500, and from 1st September, the pensionable salary will be Rs. 10510 as per the average of the last six months' salary.
1. For July and August: Rs. 6500 x 2/70 = Rs. 185
2. From 1st September onwards: Rs. 10510 x 17/70 = Rs. 2552
The total pensionable salary will be Rs. 2737/month plus past service salary as per calculation. Please confirm.
