Chief Provident Fund Commissioner
EPFO, New Delhi
Sub: Uncalled for delay in issuing of Demand Letters to the applicants who have opted higher Pension in EPS 95 reg.
Sir,
This is to bring to your kind notice that the points mentioned below which needs to be addressed on priority basis to expedite the pending cases.
* The Exempted Trusts are the creation by laws and you are well aware of it.
* The said Trusts are working and regularly following the rules and regulations administered by EPFO.
* Annual auditing is carried by the Auditors appointed by your Organisation.
* We, the SAIL Employees including Retired ones, are also from Exempted Establishments of different SAIL Units and our Employer has paid 8.33 % to 10% to 12% of their share as it is applicable from time to time and Hon'ble SC Order is clear in this regards so all are eligible to get Higher Pension irrespective of Trust Rules.
* It is brought to our notice that many Regional Provident Fund Offices are returning the applications and refusing to accept the options submitted by the concerned employees. It is arbitrary, Illegal and against the SC order dated 04.11.2022 in this respect.
* Most important point is that when the annual audit is carried out by your offices and no adverse objections were made then, how it can now be denied only to restrict the beneficiaries to get higher pension.
It is reliably learnt that SAIL PF Trusts have committed formally that if any discrepancies are found in the documents related to actual contribution by any employees and if it differs from the documents of RPFCs Offices the said trust / organisation will be liable to pay the claimed money to EPFO. Then why all these illogical correspondences are being made by your subordinate offices.
We, therefore, request you to kindly look into the matter and instruct your subordinate offices to issue Demand Letters without further delay as many of our colleagues are old enough to enjoy the fruits of their Pension.
With kind regards,
Yours faithfully,
For and on behalf of Federation of Retired SAIL Employees
Dr V N Sharma Chairman
Ram Agar Singh General Secretary
