EPF PENSION
I had submitted my Pension application in Form 10D through my last employer, i.e. Tata Projects after attaining 58 years of age in 2014. But my pension not yet cleared from PF Office, Hyderabad.
My 16 service pensionable service was under SRO, Ambattur, Chennai. My last employer TATA Projects Head Office is at Secumberabad, under RO Hyderabad.
RO Hyderabad wanted earlier scheme certificate's confirmation letter to be issued from SRO, Amabatur, It took almost two years to get the confirmation letter. The confirmation was signed scanned and sent to the Regional Commissioner, by Fax. One copy received me also based on my follow up.
I had gone to the EPFO, Hyderabad with the confirmation letter in May 2016. Met the concerned Officers. They have advised me to resubmit the application afresh in Form 10D, they only they will be able to process the Pension application. That process through Tata Projects still is still not over. Once the application reach the EPFO Hyderabad, how long it will take to complete the formalities and issue Pension order only GOD can say.
Kindly advise me whether the process is correct. Will it take so many years to sanction the Pension? more
