Higher pension application rejected by regional epfo office after pending for almost 2 years

Dear All,

My application for Higher Pension has been rejected by regional EPFO office after pending for almost 2 years. I am trying to ascertain what is the reason, but their website is not working. I am unable to download the application form. I tried calling their helpline, but no one is picking or it is saying invalid.

I did not receive any communication, either an email or an sms, as to why the application has been rejected.  All my previous employers have approved the application for the higher pension and have submitted the requisite documents.

I am unable to raise grievance on the EPFO portal as that also is not working. It keeps showing server is offline, connect later. I have sent emails to them asking for clarification.

Kindly guide what are my options here.

Thank you

Regards

Jay

The reasons could be available in the concerned file noting. You can obtain the noting under the provisions of the RTI Act.

Thank you Sir for your reply. I will file an RTI. May I request you to let me know if can file RTI online or I need to submit the request in person? Would you be able to give some guidance on how to file RTI? I will also search online. I have never done it before, it will be my first time

The information could be sought through rtionline.gov.in

You first ascertain the facts by submitting an application under RTI act seeking reasons for delay and status of your aplication for higher pension.

You can file the application under RTI act through online also
