Should I change jobs? I'm a 40-year-old software developer with 10 years of experience.

Ans: According to the EPS rules, you are eligible to receive a monthly pension after you reach the age of 58 years, or after early retirement at 50 years. However, if you defer the pension for 2 years (until you reach the age of 60 years), you will be eligible to receive the pension at an additional rate of 4% per year.

Since you have completed more than 10 years of service and transferred your EPS amount to the new company, you do not need to withdraw the EPS amount. You can continue to contribute to the EPS scheme until you retire or reach the age of 58 years, whichever is earlier. The accumulated corpus in EPF can be with withdrawn in one go at the time of retirement

Ans: No.

The pension(EPS) amount is withdrawable only if the employee's service period is less than 10 years.

Ans: It is advisable to merge your both PF accounts. In fact you should have continued with your old PF account, even in new employment. This would have increased your pension admissibility. Visit your concerned PF Office & work out the best option, possible at this stage.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Ans: Hello;

Your case is peculiar therefore I recommend you to please consult a lawyer specializing in labour/EPF laws or an EPF consultant for help regarding your issue.

Best wishes;
