Maximizing EPF and EPS: Ensuring a Strong Retirement

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: Indian Money Knowledge

Alongside the Employees’ Provident Fund, a portion of contributions go into the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS), designed to provide monthly pension post-retirement. While EPS benefits depend on the length of service and last drawn salary, EPF accumulates a lump sum. Monitoring passbooks and understanding withdrawal rules prevents confusion. Students nearing the end of their studies and starting jobs should track these schemes early to optimize retirement planning and appreciate employer contributions.
