Employee Pension Scheme 1995Types of Pension under EPSEPS ContributionEPS and EPF – Difference Employee Pension Scheme Status Check EPF Pension: Key TakeawaysEPS: FAQs

EPF Pension or Employee’s Pension Scheme is a sub-division of EPF. Here we will talk about what is EPS, how is EPS difference than EPF, EPS contribution, EPS eligibility and the benefits of EPF pension or EPS.

Employee Pension Scheme 1995

Employee Pension Scheme (EPS) or commonly known as EPS-95, is a pension scheme launched by the Government of India in 1995. The scheme came into effect on 16th Nov. 1995 under the EPF and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.

There are two schemes rolled out by the EPFO:

  1. EPF or Employee’s Provident Fund (funded by employee + employer)
    a. EPS or Employee’s Pension Scheme (funded by employer)
  2. EDLI or Employee’s Deposit Linked Insurance (funded by employer)

Who is covered under EPS?

All the employees working in the organised sector (government or private) are included in the EPF Pension or Employee’s Pension Scheme. That said, there is no separate account number for EPS. Whoever has an EPF account with a valid UAN, automatically gets covered under the Employee’s Pension Scheme as well.

EPS or EPF pension can be withdrawn prematurely or as early pension. For more details, click the link below.

Types of Pension under EPS

There are 7 types of pensions under the Employee’s Pension Scheme or EPS, viz.:

1. EPS Superannuation Pension: Normal pension to an EPS member on attaining 58 years of age, irrespective of their service-status

2. EPS Reduced Pension: Pension available to that member who has left their service and is 50 years old (but below 58 years of age); it is reduced at 4% per year (current age minus 58) and is less than the superannuation pension

Example: If Ms A wants to withdraw pension at 55 years of age, pension will be paid at:

88% of total EPF pension fund {(58-55) x4 – 100) %}

3. EPS Disablement Pension: Available when a member leaves their service due to total and permanent disablement

4. EPS Widow & children Pension: The pension payable to the spouse and children on the death of EPS member

5. EPS Orphan Pension: Payable to the surviving children of the EPF member (where the spouse of the EPF member has either died or remarried)

6. EPS Nominee Pension: Pension paid to the nominee declared by the EPF member (in case of no family – spouse or children)

7. EPS Dependent Parent Pension: Pension paid to the mother and father of the deceased EPF member who didn’t have a spouse, family or nominee

This means that the contribution made by the employee goes towards their EPF account in full.
