Unwarranted delay and asking unnecessary data to submit application for enhanced pension.

The EPFO authorities asking the pensioners to get all their contribution data from 1995 to till the employee completes 58 years, from the employer and insisting to forward the application by the employer for revision of pension. I workied in "The Andhra Bank Employees' Co-Op Bank Ltd., Hyderabad" When we ( the retired employees of that organisation) approached the bank authorities, they are asking a letter or a G.O of the EPFO to provide the information as well as to forward the application with their signature. We couldnot understand the reasons of such data and application to be forwarded by the ex-employer. Acturally the employers send all the employees recoveries in the prescribed format every month to the EPPO and at the time of retirement the total data onceagain will be submitted in the prescribed format to the EPFO basing on which they will refund the PF contribution to the retired employee and fix the pension. That means the EPFO is having all the information that they are asking once again from the employer. Further the EPFO is asking to forward the application in which they will give some undertakings such as the applicatnt workid in their organization from which date to which date. They have collected the PF contribution over and above the wages fixed by the EPFO etc. In this conntion I submit that the maximum salary fixed by the EPFO till 31st March 2014 is Rs 6,500/- and the 12% of the PF contribution is Rs 780/- in whcih 8.33 contribuion is Rs 542/-. Therefore as all the data is with the EPFO they can verify wether or not the monthly P.F contribtuions are over and above the wages fixed by the EPFO? and can revise the pension without any delay within a maximum period of one month. Further they are asking us to pay the excess amount the paid to the employee at the time of retirement with interest thereon to finalise the revision of pension. This is also a big hurdle they want to create to approach for revision of pension. Sir the Honb’le court is confirmed the payment of additional pension from the date of retirement and the EPFO will have to pay the additional pension from the date of retirement. That means that the amount of addition pension that we are entitled is with the EPFO. So after receiving the application for revision of pension they can caleculate the amount that they paid excess at the time of retirement with interest thereon, the new pension and the arrears of new pension to be payable to the retired person. After that they can deduct the amount that we have to pay to the EPFO from the arrears of the new pension and pay the remaining amount to us if the arrears of pension is more than the amount to be recovered from the pensioner or can be collected from the pensioner if the amount that the pensioner has to pay to the EPFO is extra to the arreats of the pension then the difference can collected from the pensioner. But the EPFO is putting all effors to prolong the revision of pension issue and troubling the pensioners to get their rightful pension properly. Further the EPFO is collecting interest on the amount that they have excess paid to the pensioners at the time of retirement. How far it is correct? If it is correct then the EPFO has to pay interest on the monthly arrears of pension that they are supposed to pay to the pensioner from the date of retirement to till the date of settlement. Why it is not allowed Please go through it and any see that any generous advocate file a PIL/petition in this respect which will benefit lakhs of pensioners of at present and crores of pensioners in future.
