Current EPS
15000(ceiling salary ) * Pensionable service/7015000(ceiling salary ) * Pensionable service/70
Ex 15000*35/70 = 7500

Suppose at present 10 lakh by employee and 10 lakh by employer have been
deposited in epf in last 15 years
In current EPS pension contribution deposited is
=6500*8.33%*no of Months*no of years+15000*8.33%*no of Months*no of
years
=6500*8.33%*12*12+15000*8.33%*12*3
=123048=123048
Amount deposited in EPF account =1000000+(1000000-123048)
