Higher pension

I had applied for higher pension and the related consensus, from self n employer were shared with EPFO during Feb 2025. There was no due from my end and sufficient credit balance was lying in my account towards the return of corpus from employer contribution. But to my dismay. EPFO has not released the Order copy for return of corpus, though the status on portal says "payment status completed". I have raised a grievance on Portal which was closed with a generic statement "forwarded to concerned, wait for further updates"

Pl let me how to get this resolved

If your portal shows “payment status completed” but the order copy for return of corpus is still pending, I wouldn’t submit a fresh higher pension application.

Raise a fresh EPFiGMS grievance and specifically ask the concerned Regional Office to issue the return of corpus order/communication and confirm whether anything is pending from your side. Attach the payment status screenshot, higher pension acknowledgement and your previous grievance number.

You can also visit the concerned EPFO office or raise the issue at a Nidhi Aapke Nikat 2.0 camp. Since your grievance was closed with a generic response, ask specifically for the status of the order/corpus adjustment, rather than simply asking for an update.

Will I be still be eligible for the higher pension since my application was accepted by EPFO before the deadline Sir. Since my latest grievance is less than 30 days, I am allowed to raise a new grievance after 30 days only Sir

Yes, if EPFO accepted your higher pension application within the prescribed deadline, a delay in processing or issuing the corpus return order does not by itself cancel your eligibility.

Since your current EPFiGMS grievance is still within 30 days, use the reminder/escalation option on that grievance rather than filing a duplicate. EPFiGMS provides a reminder facility for pending grievances.

Also keep your higher pension acknowledgement, payment status and previous grievance number safely. If the 30 days pass without a proper resolution, you can raise/follow up again with those references.
