EPS Pension Formula = Pensionable Salary X Pensionable Service / 70
For a higher pension, it's based on the average salary of the last 60 months. E.g., start EPS at 25, retire at 58, and get a monthly pension of Rs. 7071 [(Rs. 15000*33)/70].
An organization with at least 20 employees must open EPF accounts for them. Some firms with fewer than 20 employees also advise them to open EPF accounts.
