EOBI Pension Update 2025 Benefits, Amount, Eligibility & How To Check Online
EOBI (Employees’ Old-Age Benefits Institution) is a government pension program for private-sector workers. In 2025, pensions were increased by 15%, and the minimum pension was also raised. EOBI is now introducing a Sahulat Card to make getting pensions easier and more digital.
👉 The news about a Rs. 50,000 monthly pension is not confirmed officially — it’s still a rumor.
What is EOBI?
EOBI helps retired private employees by giving them monthly pensions. It covers:
- Old-age pensions (for retired workers)
- Survivor pensions (for widows or children of a deceased worker)
- Invalidity pensions (for disabled workers)
- Old-age grants (for workers with fewer service years)
The Rs. 50,000 Pension – Truth or Rumor?
Many people are talking about pensions increasing to Rs. 50,000 per month, but as of October 2025, this is not approved by the government or EOBI.
✅ What’s official:
- The minimum pension increased from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 11,500 (since January 2025).
- All other pensioners got a 15% raise in their monthly amount.
So, ignore any Rs. 50,000 claim until an official notification is released.
