Dear Srinath Sairam, As EPS is provided by EPFO, it is usually referred as PF pension. Hence either use EPS (Employees' Pension Scheme) or PF pension. But not EPS pension. Abbas.P.S

Dear All, Please check if the following working formula helps you in arriving at the pension amount. You need to change the number of years of service and assumed contributions.
Example with ceiling salary for EPS contribution:
Based on the information provided, you worked for 32 years and retired on 31st December 2015 (DOB 29.12.1957) (Employment from 31.12.1983 to 31.12.2015) and attained the age of 58 years.
Pensionable salary = average of the last 60 months ceiling salary as applicable.
In the last 16 months before retirement, this was 15,000 (1250 a month) and before that for 44 months, it was Rs. 6500 (541 P. M.).
So you have a pensionable monthly salary as follows:
[(16 x 1250 = 20000) + (44 x 541 = 23804) = 43804] / 60 = Rs. 730
Pensionable annual salary is approximately Rs. 8760 (12 times 730).
EPS Pension = 8760 x (32 + 2) / 70 = Rs. 4,255
The above calculation is based on the assumption that there was no loss of pay and full contribution for the last 60 months. It may vary if there was any deduction.
* 2 years of Bonus service are added after completing 20 years of service. Hence, you are eligible for 32 + 2 = 34 years of pensionable service.
