In 2025, the boldest move executed by EPFO involves creating/elevating minimum pension at ₹7,500 per month from its long-held ₹1,000 floor, approved by the Cabinet. This move is essential to safeguard the interests of low-income retirees from spiraling inflation. Think today about several millions of families of factory workers that just managed to put food on the table but can now look at hospitals and healthcare without fright. This increment was a result of trade-union demands with acknowledgment from the lower house—EPS-95 is covering ground over more than 6 million pensioners.
Arrears Avalanche Payouts Galore
The hitherto-imaginary dream of a more significant pension is now in reality. Virtually all arrears are in EOB mode now, due greatly to (or for) the Supreme Court push in 2022. Starting July, EPFO drips out billions to claimants via CPPS. Towards September, 4,010 bil. Rs splurged onto pensioners’ accounts—98.5% of 15.24-main applicants served. And under PoHW, beneficiaries receive catch-up action in one-shot amounts, up to fees in the crore range. Forget about long queues; get help fast and straightforward in what is a whole different narrative about retirement.
Digital Dawn Alltime Accessible Seamless-Pension Solution
The Establishment by 2025 will make provisions allowing its members to withdraw their pensions from any place in India. In exchange, digital means are being employed for the authentication of life certificates: people can e-file them or choose facial authentication (free of cost) through India Post Payments Bank. EPFO 3.0, apart from its benefits, also strives for simplifying the process, further in the naming of UAN cards: after attempting to make modifications to your records online, link your Aadhar with upcoming notifications. The March religiously marked large-scale publicity for so doing, lacking a major clear odd criterion for the truthful discussion on such bare issues.
