Only certain members of EPF can apply

Last date has been extended twice
Employees’ Provident Fund Organization has informed people eligible for higher pension that they should apply as soon as possible, otherwise you will not be entitled to get higher pension after the last date is over. It has already been extended twice by EPFO. In such a situation, the possibility of doing it further seems less.
EPFO issued circulars
For how you can apply for higher pension, EPFO has issued some circulars on how employees can apply for higher pension from EPS. The retirement fund body has introduced an online link on the Member Services Portal to submit its joint application form. You must have some important documents while applying.
Deadline extended several times
Actually, the users were demanding to increase the deadline for choosing the option of more pension from EPFO. EPFO had given 4 months time to the people to choose this option after the decision of the Supreme Court in November last year. After that, the facility to apply for higher pension was extended till May 3. Later, EPFO once again extended the deadline to 26 June.
