Sir,I have worked in private company from September 2011 to feb 2021 where my pf amount was deducted.l have completed 9 years 5 months service and resigned but not withdrawn pf amount.I want to get pension after 60 years what should I do ?
Ans: You can only get pension under the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) if you have completed at least 10 years of service. However, you can still withdraw your EPF amount even if you have not completed 10 years of service. To redeem your EPF amount, you can follow these steps:

1. Merge all your previous PF accounts. This can be done online through the EPFO website or at any EPFO office.
2. Fill the Composite Claim Form (Aadhaar based) and submit it to your previous employer.
3. Attach the following documents:

•Copy of your Aadhaar card.
•Copy of your PAN card.
•Bank account statement showing your IFSC code and account number.
•Cancelled cheque from your bank account.

4. Your previous employer will verify the details and submit the form to the EPFO.
5. The EPFO will process your claim and transfer the EPF amount to your bank account.

If you have not worked for more than two months after resigning from your job, you can withdraw the entire balance in your EPF account. If you have worked for more than two months after resigning from your job, you can withdraw only 75% of the balance in your EPF account. The remaining 25% can be withdrawn after two months of unemployment.

Note – If you will continue your services in another company for next 6 month you will be eligible for the pension.

Sir,I have worked in private company from March 2011 to Sep 2021 where my pf amount was deducted.l have completed 10 years 5 months service and resigned but not withdrawn pf amount.I want to get pension after 60 years what should I do ?
Ans: Securing Pension Benefits from EPF After Retirement
Planning for pension benefits from your EPF account after retirement requires careful consideration and proactive steps. Let's outline a strategy to ensure you receive pension benefits after turning 60.

Understanding EPF Pension Eligibility
Assessing Eligibility Criteria

Confirm eligibility for EPF pension benefits by ensuring you have completed at least 10 years of eligible service, which you have accomplished.
Verifying EPF Account Details

Verify that your EPF account reflects your entire service duration accurately, including the period from March 2011 to September 2021.
Retaining EPF Account for Pension Benefits
Maintaining EPF Account

Avoid withdrawing your EPF amount upon resignation to retain eligibility for pension benefits.
Let your EPF account accrue interest and remain active until you reach the age of 60.
Ensuring Continuous Contributions

If you join another organization, ensure that your new employer continues contributing to your EPF account, maintaining the continuity of your EPF membership.
Applying for Pension Benefits
Submitting Pension Application

Upon reaching the age of 60, submit an application for pension benefits to the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO).
Provide necessary documents, such as identity proof, EPF account details, and pension application form, as per EPFO guidelines.
Completing Formalities

Fulfill any additional formalities required by EPFO, such as verification of service details and submission of supporting documents.
Seeking Professional Advice
Consulting Certified Financial Planner (CFP)

Seek guidance from a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) specializing in EPF matters to ensure compliance with EPF regulations and optimize pension benefits.
A CFP can assist in navigating the pension application process and addressing any complexities or queries that may arise.
Regular Monitoring
Monitoring EPF Account

Periodically monitor your EPF account statements to ensure accuracy and track the accumulation of pension benefits over time.
Following Up with EPFO

Follow up with EPFO authorities regarding the status of your pension application and address any delays or discrepancies promptly.
Conclusion
By retaining your EPF account and completing the necessary formalities upon reaching the age of 60, you can secure pension benefits from your EPF account after retirement. Seeking professional advice and maintaining regular communication with EPFO authorities will help streamline the process and ensure a smooth transition to pension benefits.

Hi sir,Good day. Architecture in a IITs and NITs,is there a good future for the kid's in India and abroad. How is the future for the kids?
Ans: Kanthi, IIT Roorkee in Uttarakhand offers a five-year B.Arch through its Department of Architecture and Planning, integrating studio design, urban planning, conservation, climatology and advanced digital labs for a comprehensive design education. IIT Kharagpur in West Bengal provides a five-year B.Arch (Hons.) with rigorous coursework, mandatory AAT testing post-JEE Advanced and small cohort mentorship in heritage conservation and modern computational design. NIT Calicut in Kerala delivers a five-year B.Arch requiring JEE Main Paper-II or NATA, emphasizing sustainable materials, climatic design studios and urban infrastructure labs, backed by NAAC A+ accreditation and industry-linked projects. All three institutes feature PhD-qualified faculty, dedicated placement cells achieving 80–90% B.Arch placement rates, and strong government and private collaborations.

The field of architecture in India and abroad is poised for transformation through 2030, driven by rapid urbanization, climate challenges and technological adoption. Demand for sustainable, net-zero buildings, low-carbon materials and smart-city infrastructure will surge under initiatives like Smart Cities Mission and GRIHA standards, requiring architects skilled in energy-efficient design and passive systems. India ‘s affordable housing push under PMAY will expand community-centric design roles. Globally, the U.S. BLS projects 8% employment growth for architects through 2028, with rising need for green-design expertise and healthcare facility renovations, while Europe’s heritage conservation and sustainable urban redevelopment will fuel specialist opportunities. Digital tools—AI-driven generative design, BIM, VR/AR visualization and 3D printing—will redefine workflows, enabling remote collaboration and rapid prototyping, broadening architects’ roles into policy, resilience planning and product design.

Recommendation: Prioritize IIT Roorkee’s B.Arch for its historic legacy, pioneering Net-Zero Emissions and Virtual Reality labs, small design studios and top-tier placements in PSUs and global firms. Consider IIT Kharagpur for its AAT-integrated curriculum, heritage conservation focus and DAE-funded research clusters. Leverage NIT Calicut if seeking a strong sustainable-design emphasis, A+ accreditation and high JEE Main accessibility, while developing skills in smart-city and affordable-housing projects. To overcome resource constraints, engage in online BIM and AI-design certifications and join interdisciplinary workshops at all institutes to build resilience against evolving industry demands. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
