It will have an impact on pension and EPF contribution The proposal was sent by the Ministry of Labour in April this year and in that proposal, the pension of employees which is currently calculated at 15 thousand, was demanded to be increased to 21 thousand.

Let us tell you that since the year 2014, pension has been calculated at 15 thousand rupees and there is talk about increasing its limit.

The salary received every month will be reduced Yes, it is true that more money from the salary you get every month will go to EPFO, due to which the salary you get every month will be reduced.

But this will be right for your future. If the government increases the salary limit from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 21,000, then you will get the benefit of Rs. 2550 more pension every month.

To calculate this, the formula average salary X pensionable service/70 is used. Here the average salary taken includes the basic salary of the employee and the dearness allowance he gets.

After the new rules are implemented, the contribution to the employee’s provident fund will increase, due to which the salary received every month will decrease.
