The EPFO has rejected many higher pension applications, citing reasons like incorrect or incomplete information, service record mismatches, and non-compliance with withdrawal rules. Given your situation, it's likely that there might be some issue with the documentation or the process followed. To claim your higher pension, you can try the following steps: -
*Check the rejection reason*: Understand the specific reason for rejection and address the issue. -
*Reapply or appeal*: If you believe the rejection was incorrect, you can reapply or appeal the decision. -
*Consult EPFO guidelines*: Familiarize yourself with the EPFO's rules and guidelines for higher pension claims. -
*Seek legal advice*: Consider consulting a lawyer specializing in EPF and pension matters. The Supreme Court's November 2022 judgment allows eligible members to apply for pension on higher wages. The EPFO has processed over 98.5% of applications, with over 11 lakh rejections.
You can also check the EPFO's official website or consult with their representatives for guidance on the next steps.

If EPFO still rejects without any valid reason you can approach high court with a writ petition seeking relief and remedy.
