EPFO Enhanced Pension Cut-off Date | Pre-1.9.2014 Retirees Ineligible but Entitled to Refund of Voluntary Deposits : MP HC
The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that pensioners retiring before 1 September 2014 are ineligible for EPFO’s enhanced pension under the Sunil Kumar B. precedent, but must be refunded voluntary deposits made in reliance on earlier EPFO communications. The judgment underscores equitable estoppel, mandating restitution for pensioners who acted on official representations.
