✈️ Internal Trust Rules cannot override the EPF Act if they offer less!
💡 Per Appendix ‘A’ of EPF Scheme, beneficial amendments apply AUTOMATICALLY to exempted Trusts.
💡Law prevails over internal manuals!

✈️ EPFO Clarifies: Internal Trust Rules are NOT a roadblock!
✍️ EPFO confirmed via RTI that internal Trust Rules of exempted units CANNOT override the EPF Act.
✍️ The Act is supreme. Don't let bylaws stall your dues. 🎯

📢 EPFO refuses to eat its own cooking. 🍲
Why are EPFO staff under generous CCS Rules with ₹37,045 pensions, while workers are forced into restrictive EPS-95, struggling for crumbs?
✅ If the formula is good enough for the masters, why not the workers?
#SocialEPFO#pmoindia
📢 Technical rejections based on the 18.01.2025 Circular are hurdles, not dead ends.
✅ Administrative rules implement the law—they don’t rewrite it. The Supreme Court’s word is final.
🤝 Stay united by the Constitution, not divided by technicalities. 🎯

📢 Why the double standard? Unexempted and select Exempted units got PoHW, while others were sidelined by "lame excuses." Pension equality is a right, not a luxury. Every establishment deserves the same fair treatment and justice. It’s time for a level playing field ! ⚖️ #EPFO
📢 RPFCs approved Trust Rules without hearing employees. How can a contract be binding if one party is not invited ? As per Para 27AA, employees must have a voice. Vacuum-approving Rules without employee voice is jurisdictional overreach of powers. 🏛️ #socialepfo
📢 Sec 17 Exemption is for PF Management ONLY—an administrative facility, not a "Pension Filter." Being "Exempted" was a badge of Corporate efficiency, NOT a waiver of Pension Rights. The Trust handled PF; EPFO handles Pension. The Narrative is breaking ! 🛡️ #socialepfo
"Justice is dying with us." ⚖️
SAIL-BSP pensioners denounce EPFO’s "litigation trap." With retirees losing ₹40k/month, they demand the immediate disbursement of Higher Pensions. It is a matter of law, not charity! 🚩

📢 Section 17(6) creates a direct statutory bridge from Exempted Trusts to the EPS-95 Fund.
⚖️ Fact: Trust "Ceiling Rules" are secondary to the EPF Act.
🛑 EPFO cannot hide behind Trust Rules to deny Higher Pension.
🎯The mandate of the Act is supreme!
#socialepfo
📢One Law, One Benefit. EPFO’s "Artificial Classification" of members is unconstitutional. There’s no legal basis to deny PoHW to one group while granting it to another. Stop the discrimination and uphold Article 14.🏛️
#socialepfo
✍️The math is simple : Higher Contribution = Higher Pension. A Larger PF is the seed; the Larger Pension is the fruit. When contributions are paid on actual salary, the right to Higher Pension is naturally vested. One is the cause, the other is the effect. They are inseparable.
🎯Don't let EPFO Circulars curb your rights! Legally, an EPFO Circular is just an instruction. It cannot supplant the Law or reduce benefits granted under the EPF Act and EPS-95. We must stand by the Act, not restrictive Circulars. The Law of the land is final! 🏛️

📢SAIL-BSP Pensioners’ Association moves Central CBT against EPFO’s "Hostile & Litigious" defiance of Hon’ble Supreme Court's Nov 2022 verdict. 🏛️Justice delayed for a 70-yr-old is justice denied forever! Stop "Attrition by Mortality" strategy. 🎯

Internal PF Trust Rules are an administrative manual, NOT an eligibility book.
1️⃣ SC rulings sit at the top of the legal pyramid.
2️⃣ Trusts cannot play judge on claim legality.
3️⃣ Administrative rules cannot block Higher Pension entitlements.
#socialEPFO#HigherPension
✍️EPFO cannot hide behind Trust Rules. Statutory Law (EPF Act & Scheme) is Supreme. Any Rule contradicting the Act or SC judgments is void ab initio. A Trust is a vehicle to deliver benefits, not a cage to trap them. Law must prevail. ⚖️ #HigherPension#EPFO
✍️
EPFO designed the house (Model PF Rules), set the Wage Ceiling walls and locked the doors. Now, EPFO is asking why the Pensioners didn't just walk through the brick. You cannot blame the player for the rules of a game they didn't write. Who’s really at fault?
#socialEPFO
✍️The irony : Exempted establishments that strictly mirrored EPFO’s Model Rules with wage ceilings are now losing out on higher pensions. Meanwhile, those who ignored the template are reaping the benefits. In this race, the cost of compliance is a lower pension.
@socialepfo
✍️The Rule 11 (b) Trap : EPFO imposed "Wage Ceilings" via its own Model PF Rules, forcing exempted firms to comply. Now, they claim pensioners "consented" to lower pensions. EPFO must not weaponize its own restrictive templates to deny our legitimate rights to PoHW.
