Under EPS 95, senior citizens and retired employees were waiting for a long time for the official confirmation about the EPFO payment date and increase. Along with clarifying the status of pending arrears by the government, new data has been released on the proposal of increase of Rs 7500 which is being discussed across the country in the last 1 year.
EPS 95 pensioners have become a significant part of India’s senior citizen population. Many survive on a minimum monthly benefit. With inflation and rising medical costs, a slight improvement in pension is going to make a huge difference to their livelihood. This article will shed light on the current status of EPS 95 pension arrears, payment details and monthly pensioner expectations.
Why is EPS 95 pension arrears in discussion?
The issue of EPS-95 pension arrears is a very old one. Every pensioner has been appealing for a change in their monthly payment for a long time. The main reason for this is that the old pension rate being given is not enough to sustain life. So in response, the government has considered increasing the monthly pension by 7500% from the base limit of ₹1000 per month as well as a free payment of the arrears.
Let us tell you that there is pressure on the Employees Provident Fund Organisation to finalise the date of EPFO payment and to provide clear title to more than 30 lakh land.
