The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has appealed against the *Punjab and Haryana High Court's* ruling that struck down the *pro-rata* formula.
- The ruling had been in favour of employees who had been arguing that the formula was unfair.
- The *pro-rata* formula had been used to calculate pension amounts for employees who had been with the organisation for a certain number of years.
The appeal by the EPFO could lead to changes in the way pension is calculated for these employees, and it is likely that the case will now be heard by a higher court.
