EPFO Higher Pension: The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has given a big relief to pensioners. EPFO has given the employer an opportunity to settle 3.1 lakh pending high pension applications by January 31, 2025. That is, the employer has been given time to upload all the salary related information online.
Many opportunities given to employers
EPFO issued a press release on December 18, 2024. It said that more than 3.1 lakh applications for pension on high salary are pending. Retirement fund body EPFO had earlier asked the employer to update the information of 4.66 lakh pending cases by January 15, 2024.

We received applications from employers and employer associations for additional time to upload salary details, so now employers are being given a last chance till January 31, 2025 to upload salary details etc. of the pending 3.1 lakh applications to ensure that they upload these pending applications by disposing them soon.
