A letter claiming that the minimum pension amount under the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS-95) has been increased to Rs 7,500 per month is being widely circulated on social media. The notification also mentions that the increased pension would come into effect from April 30, 2026, and payments under the revised rate would begin from May 1, 2026.
However, Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has now clarified that the letter is fake.
