Earlier, estimates of EPFO had suggested that the immediate beneficiaries who were getting less than Rs 1000 every month would be 28 lakh while the total number of pensioners under the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS-95) of Employees Provident Fund (EPFO) were 44 lakh.

While announcing that government is notifying the minimum pension under the Employees' Pension Scheme-1995 (EPS-95), Finance Minister Arun Jaitley also stated in his budget speech today that wage ceiling covering organised sector workers under schemes run by EPFO has been raised to Rs 15,000 per month from existing Rs 6,500.

The Finance Ministry has approved a proposal for providing a minimum monthly pension of Rs 1,000 to workers in the organised sector, a move which would benefit 27 lakh pensioners immediately.
