deducted are eligible for compulsory contributory pension scheme. But it is
observed that majority of these employees are not aware of this benefit . Some
portion of the provident fund goes to pension fund. Minimum eligibility for
pension is ten years. Even if employee changes several jobs during his career,
he will get this pension provided he does not withdraw provident fund after job
change. If some employee withdraws provident fund before ten years, he gets his
pension fund contribution also back. The original circular is reproduced below (7 pages)
