Ans: You may check with your assigned EPFO about the details.

As per reports, the deadline to apply for higher pension under EPS expired in July last year.

This is regarding enhanced pension EPS 95 by EPFO .I am a private sector employee and worked in 3 organizations including current organization. Applied online for enhanced pension through joint option form of EPFO. My first and current organization has approved this joint option form for service rendered in those companies. My second organization is closed and under liquidation. Approval of service of this closed organizations is not happening. I have requested in writing to Liquidator, EPFO also. Lot of grievances on different portal including PG portal were lodged but it is of no use though EPFO has instructed to liquidator to approve but no action and response by them. What is the option for me and solution for this issue. What should be my action for getting it approved. What are the provisions in rule . I have all the service related document of this closed organization. last date for approval by all employer is 31st December. Please guide. Regards Ravindra Pateria
Ans: Dear Ravindra Pateria,

I understand your concern and the urgency you feel regarding the approval of your enhanced pension under EPS 95 by EPFO. It's frustrating when bureaucratic processes become hurdles in securing what's rightfully yours.

Given that you've already taken steps by lodging grievances and reaching out to both EPFO and the liquidator, it might be helpful to escalate the issue further. You could consider writing a formal letter to EPFO, highlighting the urgency and attaching all the necessary documents as proof of your service with the closed organization.

Additionally, you might want to consult with a legal advisor or approach a local EPFO office directly. They might be able to provide guidance on the specific provisions and rules that govern such cases and suggest alternative ways to expedite the approval process.

Remember, persistence often pays off in such situations. Keep all your communications documented and follow up regularly. Wishing you the best in resolving this issue promptly.

Help me!!! 1.I'm starting new "work" on my own(challenging for me) but my mind says quit it, be quite & do nothing. I myself don't know that wether the result of work will be +ive or uncompleted like alws. 2. My mind has become like order seeker type, when someone orders me, I do those things with dedicated(but sad from inside) manner. But when myself will try something different(which i fear, but necessary) then. "I QUITS IT" & sometimes I don't even start. 3. I'm like stuck no clue what/whom I want to do in life, I'm in cllg(1 yr) doing (CSE) ,. 4. I want to do/try (sports,talking girls,study,stocks,coding..) many things, but myself, my thoughts(overthinker), R like just be in the place where u are[confused,po*n,think about past/future(being billio..re,olympics..), girl (that u liked & never talked), abusive/beating self,.. sometimes feels like end life, but don't hv courage for that also.. 5. I tried self help books, spirituality, god, self affirmation, writing... & thay affected me(sometimes) but for only some time, then again that devil me comes up &these things never get completed. As no one in my family knows about all these, so that's Y ,I hv to fight/loose/try again, the battles with myself.
Ans: Dear Harsh,
If in the past you have had the urge to QUIT, how is this time going to be different? This is not to discourage you from taking up 'new work' but pointing out that there is some amount of work that you need to put to clear the mind out of blockages.
-What is limiting you?
- What is the reason for putting off things?
- What comes first to the mind when you start something new?
Also, focus on one thing at a time; study and go deep into it...what's this thing with work? I don't understand. When the mind is unsettled, take one thing/activity, pursue it and finish it. It could simply be studying for Year 1 of your college...just only do that...once your mind is trained in completing an activity, you can add another one the next year along with studying and then pursue both...it could be some sport and studying...then the next year, you could add a third activity. This is called 'training the mind in discipline'. Discipline will make sure that you start and finish things...So, go slow and do one thing at a time.

All the best!
