The Employee Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has taken several steps to extend the deadline to apply for a higher pension. Below are the steps taken by the EPFO in extending the deadline to apply for a higher pension till July 11:

• The decision was taken to extend the upper age limit for the members of the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) to 95 years.
• The EPFO has sent an SMS to all the EPS members who have not yet opted for a higher pension.
• The organization has provided a facility for its members to update their date of birth on the EPFO portal.
• The EPFO has issued a notice to all its field offices, directing them to educate EPS members about the new deadline.

These steps have helped to ensure that all the eligible EPS members get their pension benefits without any issues. It is important for all the members to make use of this opportunity and opt for a higher pension. Members can visit the EPFO portal or contact their nearest EPFO office for assistance in this regard.
