Sir I am working in a company. I am 57 Years old. My boss has told me if you want to work even after the age of 60 years you may continue your service till you wish. My question is can I contribute in EPF and EPS after the age of 60 years. If yes, how it will impact my pension amount ?

Ans: You may contribute to EPF, after 60, without any issue.

EPS closes at 58 years but you may opt to defer it by 2 years with or without contribution.

Your EPS pension will start even if you work after 60.

Sir, I am 60 years old and already availing EPF Pension after completion of 58 years of age, now if join I join any company for about 3 to 4 years and company wants to provide me EPF scheme will it be possible to do so. Could you please clarify in this regard. Thanks

Ans: You can continue to contribute to the EPF scheme if you join a new company after availing EPF pension at the age of 58, provided that you are a full-time employee on the company’s payroll.

However, you will not be eligible to become a member of the EPS (pension) scheme again, as the EPS membership ceases once you start receiving pension after attaining the age of 58 years.

Therefore, the employer’s contribution of 8.33% that would otherwise go to the EPS will be added to your PF account instead. Hence, the total contribution of 12% employee and 12% employer will go in EPF.

I have completed 60 years on 27July2024. Still working . I have made contribution in EPF and EPS till 60years. Now from August'24 whole contribution of Employers and Employees i.e. 24% deposited in EPF. My query is that at the age of 58years and 11 month , I was not aware hence not opt the facility of Deferred Pension with EPS contribution . Now what is the procedure for delay condone to avail this option . Secondly will I be eligible to avail the benefits of 4+4% and extended period of service will be considered for the calculation of Pension. With best regards, Pradeep Jain

Ans: When an employee crosses 58 years of age and is in service, EPS membership ceases on completion
of 58 years. The Pension Contribution by employer @8.33% is added to the Employer Share of EPF.

If you have the proofs of contribution to EPS beyond 58 years you may take it up with the assigned EPFO Jt Commissioner for delayed deferment intimation to be considered and get the deferment benefit of 4+4% and extended EPS contribution for pension eligibility.

If required please seek help from an expert in labour/EPF laws

Hello Sir, I will be 60 years old in January 2025. I am still working in a company that has EPF and they want me to work for 2 more years. Can my EPF be kept active by contribution (both by employee and employer) for 2 more years?

Ans: Hello;

EPF: Yes, no age limit
EPS: NO

So entire 12% of employer contribution should go to EPF.

Best wishes;

JEE Mains query: My son is in PUC in Karnataka and would like to know if we can avail Hyderabad-Karnataka quota for JEE mains or advance - if he passes with required percentile or percent. Ours is a general category. FYI, my daughter got medical seat using the same quota in 2023. Thanks is advance. SAH

Ans: Yes, your son can avail the Hyderabad-Karnataka (HK) quota, now known as the Kalyana Karnataka (KK) reservation, for JEE Mains or JEE Advanced, provided he meets the eligibility criteria. Since your daughter has already availed this quota for medical admissions, your son should also be eligible.

Hii, I am a student of physics wallah, online prepping for JEE.. I am currently 10th pass and I really sulky when it's about attending classes why waste a hefty amount of school fees when you can just get into NIOS system and crack JEE nd get into reputed IITs and nits ? What's your thoughts here

Ans: If you are naturally self-driven and don’t need external discipline, NIOS is a great choice for saving time and focusing on JEE. Otherwise, a flexible school (where attendance isn't strict) could be a better balance.

Sir maine 2025 me 12th up board se de liya hai aur jee main session 1 and 2 bhi de diya hai mujhe nhi lag rha ki mera cut off clear hoga mai drop nhi lena chahata kyuki mera drop me bhi nhi clear hoga kya mai dobara cbse board se 11th and 12th karke jee de sakta hu

Ans: Hi Prashant
Maximum 3 Attempts in 3 Consecutive Years:
JEE Main aap 12th ke year se lekar agle 2 saal tak, total 3 baar de sakte ho.
Agar aapne 12th 2025 me diya hai, to aap:
2025
2026
2027
me JEE de sakte ho.

12th Board Attempt Consideration:
Aap agar dobara 12th CBSE se karte ho (maan lo 2027 me), to JEE 2027 ka attempt valid hoga, aur aapka purana 12th (2025 UP board) attempt count nahi hoga.
Lekin, pehle diye gaye JEE attempts fir bhi count honge. Matlab aap already 2 baar JEE de chuke ho (2025 ke 2 sessions), to aapke paas sirf ek aur final attempt (2026 ya 2027) bachega.

I am a ISC board student, i did not do any coaching for jee. Should i join crash course for viteee & bitsat exams which are coming up soon??

Ans: Hi
VITEEE is relatively easier compared to JEE. If you're confident with ISC Physics, Chem, Math — and you can manage speed — you might not need a crash course, just mock test practice.

BITSAT is trickier due to speed + extra sections. If you're targeting BITS Pilani, a crash course can seriously help.
