Kerala High Court and Supreme Court ruled in favor of pensioners
EPFO pensioners are hoping that according to the salary, the Supreme Court’s decision will end their long wait for pension. Earlier, Kerala High Court and Supreme Court had ruled in favor of EPFO pensioners.
On 1 April 2019, the Supreme Court upheld the Kerala High Court’s decision on the monthly pension of the Employees’ Pension Scheme. The Labor Ministry then filed an appeal against the High Court’s decision despite the review petition filed by the EPFO.
On 12 July 2019, a bench headed by the then Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi ordered hearing of both the petitions. Meanwhile, the Parliamentary Standing Committee sought clarification in the matter in October 2019.
