The Employees Provident Fund Organisation ( EPFO ) in an unprecedented decision, has increased the statutory minimum pension under (EPS-95) scheme to 7500Rs. monthly. This much anticipated reform considers the inflationary pressure and will provide financial dignity to more than 78 lakh pensioners all over India. This increase becomes effective April 2025 and also comprises a new Dearness Allowance (DA) component in the relief2. In a landmark judgment delivered in April 2025 , the Supreme Court of India approved a long-overdue revision to the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS-95), impacting over 78 lakh pensioners across the country. The Court mandated an increase in the minimum pension to ₹7,500 per month, along with the inclusion of Dearness Allowance (DA) to adjust for inflation. This move marks a major win for pensioners who have campaigned tirelessly for better post-retirement financial support.
