EPFO has issued latest circular dated 20-3-2021
Immediate reaction & response from pensioners it is shocking & unbelievable as same was issued on the eve of commencement of hearing of SLP on 23-3-2021.
Further it amounts to interfering & influencing on judicial proceedings to commence shortly on 23-3-2021. It may be noted that action has come after time gap of more than four years that to circular issued on 20-3-2021 which happens to be holiday.

Earlier EPFO never thought or considered similar action in different courts. It is after thought & just deny the benefits to pensioners from SC order dated 4-10-2016 & Implementation order dated 23-3-2017.
This action of EPFO must be countered & challenged in SC, attention of CJI, SCBA must drawn for timely suitable action. Now intention of EPFO is very much clear that it will do everything to possible to call for review earlier SC order of 4-10-2016
This is common issue & hence all AOR, Sr Advocate should have a common strategy, court / floor coordination for presenting EPS matter strongly & effectively before three judges bench.
It is now or never
There urgent need for United fight in SC by respective Sr advocate. We have to fight against all odds. So Let us hope & pray for best outcome.
These are my views & this issue may be shared with UR concerned AOR & Sr Advocates for immediate further action.
Regards & Good wishes
