As the last date to register for higher pension with the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is inching closer, applicants are hurrying to complete their registration process. However, most of them are facing several technical issues and snags in submitting the application through unified EPFO portal, according to media reports.
To ensure the ease of process for applicants, several employers have requested the extension of the deadline and simplification of the process. It is worth noting, that the deadline has already been extended once to June 26, 2023. But people are still unclear about the exact process of the registration. Many people are not aware about several issues which include how payment and calculation will be done, how discrepancies between wage records maintained at the EPFO level and those maintained at the employer level will be resolved.
Experts are also hoping for another deadline extension due to these confusion among applicants.
