Everything you want to know about Super Annuation

POSTED BY Jagoinvestor ON May 13, 2009 COMMENTS (493)

The only schemes that comes in your mind when it comes to retirement benefits are EPF, NPS & PPF. But there is one more scheme i.e. Super Annuation about which lot of people don’t even know. And those who know about it they don’t know how much corpus they have as their super annuation.

In this article I’m going to tell you what is super annuation and how to check your superannuation balance if your employer maintains it with LIC.

Super Annuation

First of all I would like to share with you an important thing, which one of my friend Subbu has figured out himself . Credit goes to him.

A lot of employees do not care to check there Superannuation amount, or they are not even aware that it exists. Knowing the amount of your superannuation can be helpful, because then you know that you have that much saving and hence when you plan your investments, you can factor in this information and take better decisions . This small amount make big chunks of your portfolio .

What is Superannuation?

Superannuation is a retirement Benefit by employer . It is a contribution made by employer each year on your behalf towards the group superannuation policy held by the employer. This is an important part of creating wealth for your retirement .

Features of Super annuation :

a) Superannuation Fund is a retirement benefit given to employees by the Company.

b) Normally the Company has a link with agencies like LIC Superannuation Fund, where their contributions are paid.

c) The Company pays 15% of basic wages as superannuation contribution. There is no contribution from the employee.>

d) This contribution is invested by the Fund in various securities as per investment pattern prescribed.

e) Interest on contributions is credited to the members account. Normally the rate of interest is equivalent to the PF interest rate. Read what is EPF and PPF ?
f) On attaining the retirement age, the member is eligible to take 25% of the balance available in his/her account as a tax free benefit.

g) The balance 75% is put in a annuity fund, and the agency (LIC) will pay the member a monthly/quarterly/periodic annuity returns depending on the option exercised by the member. This payment received regularly is taxable.

h) In the case of resignation of the employee, the employee has the option to transfer his amount to the new employer. If the new employer does not have a Superannuation scheme, then the employee can withdraw the amount in the account, subject to deduction of tax and approval of IT department, or retain the amount in the Fund, till the superannuation age.

What happens with your superannuation after your retirement?

Once you get retired you can use the amount of your super annuation in 2 ways, either withdraw the total amount which will be completely taxable if withdrawn at once, or withdraw 1/3rd of it which will be tax free and convert the 2/3rd amount in regular pension scheme.

Tax will be applicable on the remaining 2/3rd of the superannuation amount and returns on it.

What happens if you resign?

This is the concern of most of the people today. When you resign the job, you can transfer your Super Annuation from your current employer to new employer and can continue it till your retirement.

If your new employer does not have the superannuation scheam, then you have 2 options, either withdraw all the money on which tax will be applicable, Or let it be in your superannuation fund and use it after your retirement as per the above mentions tax rules.

How SuperAnnuation is calculated?

The interest rate on Super annuation is similar to the interest rate applicable on PPF. Whereas the returns may differ depending upon the underlying insurance company and the superannuation scheam that your company has taken.

The interest in calculated and deposited to your account yearly. This is the interest paid by the insurance company and also your employers contribution.

Super annuation chart:

Years of Employment  Amount of Super Annuation 
  Less than 1 year   NIL
  Between 1 and 2 years   50% of the contribution + interest earned
  Between 2 and 3 years   75% of the contribution + interest earned
  More than 3 years   100% of the contribution + interest earned

Interest Earned :

This is interest paid by LIC every year on the contribution by employer.

Rules of Superannuation on Maturity

Once the employee completes 3 years of service and works till his/her retirement, he/she can make use of superannuation balance as a form of pension. He/She can withdraw 1/3rd of the accumulated balance after retirement and the rest can be availed as monthly pension till end of life.

Steps for checking Superannuation balance online?

7. It will ask for LIC Id no and Date of Birth fields.

8. To get LIC Id no, call LIC branch with which your employer has a super annuation account and inform that you are calling from your company and provide your name to the LIC official. They will give your LIC ID No.

9. Since most companies had not furnished the date of birth details to LIC, enter ’01/07/1960′ / ’07/01/1960′ (forgot the order, try both n check) in the date of birth field.

10. You will get the policy enrolled and you can click on the policy number to view the details. The details will contain the accumulated balance till the last financial year. It also shows contribution made by your employer i the current financial year.

    I got retired from my service in Jan 2016. I’ve opted for to receive pension for full amount from LIC. Now let me know how long this will continue and when my family should get the Lupsum amount of my superanuation deposit from LIC

    1. You need to check this with LIC itself. How will we have these details ?

  2. I P Hirwani says:

    I have resigned from my company. my age is 47, I want to get full amount of my superannuation fund after deduction of applicable tax, but my company says they do not have this option, I am being forced to get only 33% of money and have to put 66% money in a pension plan through LIC, or I have to keep this money till my superannuation age.

    Is it true that an employ who has resigned do not have option of getting full amount after tax ? after all the full superannuation fund is coming from my own CTC. Company does not have any contribution.

    How ridiculous it is if you resign at the age of 35 than also your 66% of superannuation fund will go to LIC and you will receive pension after 58 age, meanwhile you have to submit live certificate every year to the company?!

    I have searched in the net, I found that in case of resignation I can withdraw all superannuation fund but it will be taxed, nowhere I found that for a resignation case before superannuation pension plan is the only option.

    Please comment. If an employ resigns before superannuation age ,can he get full amount after tax? can any company deny this rule and force the employ to buy a pension plan ? do we have right to know the rules of the company in writing? After all, the superannuation fund is managed by a trust, and the trust is taking care of its members money. do I have a right to know the rules of withdrawal of the trust I as a member ?

    1. I am not fully aware of rules at this level.

    2. Pavan Kumar says:

      Similar case for me also, I only got 33% and remaining 66% put in Pension plan of LIC.
      Not sure on the company rules

      1. Jagoinvestor says:

        When are you getting the pension?

  3. SB says:

    Hi Manish
    My previous employer had SAF with LIC and a corpus is now available. If I choose not to annuitize the corpus now and wait till I attain retirement age (55), will the corpus continue to earn interest till my retirement age? My understanding is that the later I annuitize, the higher my monthly annuity amount – please confirm if this is correct. Thanks.

    1. I am not very sure on this

  4. VIVEKANAND says:

    Hi Manish,
    Nice information……Can we transfer superannuation amount to NPS (New Pension Scheme) one time and exit from super attenuation scheme?. If yes what is the procedure for the same? To whom should I meet first…LIC / Employer / NPS?

  5. abhishek says:

    Hi,

    My father was NTPC employee. He passed away on JULY-2000. We are receiving LIC annuity pension cheques every year since then. I was very young at the time Super annuition was discussed and it was decided to take the monthly amount of 15k for 15 years. I now want to understand what will happen at the end of the 15 year term?

    Will I be getting the amount back or they will continue with the same policy?
    How should I be contacting LIC for futher details of my policy?

    Iam sorry Iam failrly new at all this, any help assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards

    1. Hi abhishek

      Your father must have chosen that option (life long pension with no sum assured at the end OR pension with sum assured at the end) . Now you just need that information. I would have said that you can contact the LIC branch with your policy number etc, but rather than that, I suggest you to file an RTI as it works very well with govt entities and there is assurity to get right answer

      To know more about filing RTI – read this https://www.jagoinvestor.com/2012/12/rti-application-for-psu-banks.html

I couldn’t find proper reason or info, why it stopped. The annuity letter mentions “FOR LIFE TILL DEATH” under the column “type of annuity” and “5 ” for the column “certain period”.
    Please help in understanding this.

    Hello,

    I worked for 9 years with the same organization and I resigned in Dec. 2015. Now, shall I eligible to withdraw a total amount of superannuation? I am 36 years old now.

  8. ESKAY says:

    Dear Mr. Manish,
    I am retired from service after serving for 65 years of age in senior position. The last service in the organization was for +18 years. My queries are as below.
    1. How much leave encashment on retirement is ‘tax exempted?
    2. How much amount out of gratuity received is tax exempted?
    3. If I am opting for commutation of 1/3rd of Superannuation fund, is it to be taxed at source or afterwards? Regarding balance payment on annuity basis, is it to be taxed along with returns afterwards?
    After my death, the balance corpus shall be paid to my son as nominee as lump sum. Is it taxable to my son?
    4. How can I know the annuity plan for different options, M/Q/Y ly basis from LIC site?
    5. I am told that after age of 65 years, I cannot work as ’employee’ with any organization. Is it correct? If yes, I can take assignment on ‘ Contractual basis’. In such case which options of ITO can be availed for tax exemption?
    Thanks in advance for replies awaited.
    With kind regards,

  9. Ashok says:

    Dear Sir,
    I left an organization in March 2013 [ where superannuation trust was managed by ICICI prudential] to join another org. [ here LIC is superannuation managing trust]. i am told that since Feb 2013, no new superannuation account can be created as per govt order. Is this correct? [ I do not believe there can be any such govt rule.]
    if indeed there is such rule, then
    My query is:
    1) Can I get my superannuation transferred from ICICI Prudential managed trust to LIC managed trust?
    2) If answer is ‘yes’ for above, then I presume I will get an equivalent LIC superannuation account ID. Can I then start contributing to LIC managed account ID.
    Kindly advise,
    Regards,
    Ashok

    Is there any policy within which particular days this superannuation roll back could be done by me.

    1. Not sure how one can rollback that. Please with your employer on this .

      However, am not able to see my annuity (Group Pension details) on the left hand side and don’t see a way to re-enroll again? Are you aware of what has happened and will this feature be reintroduced again. This was a good feature to view group pension details.

      1. Karthik says:

        This feature is now restored in LIC eServices portal. I’m able to view the annuity details under “Group Pension Details” today.

    Hi,
    I have a SAF from my employer from past 6 years. I have also enrolled the policy number to check its details in LIC portal.
    But when I check its details, I can only see contribution history from employer. How will I see the amount of interest I have earned?
    Also contribution history starts from 2013 onwards. What about details before 2013? The account was opened in 2009.
    Please reply.

    Thanks

    Yes the article is really elaborate and helpful .

    I have some other issue in same regard and want someone to help me .

    I resigned from HUL( Hindustan Unilever Limited ) on 4.7.2008 . I was settled all of my dues properly except Super Annuation fund after working for 25 years . My Employee Ref No is 225093 , Date of joining is 7.2.1983 , Date of birth is 1.1.1960 . Last drawn salary was Rs 28229 ( Twenty eight thousand two hundred twenty nine only ) . I have got requisite format filled up with the help of Calcutta branch accounts department with whatever data was available with me and Calcutta branch accounts department ( Since my last division”s HR was at Mumbai ) and mailed to HR Manager who assured of help and assigned to concerned persons but to no avail . There are some fields in same format which have to be filled up by employer . Hence .

    I have over a month started correspondence with HUL but nothing .

    In stated scenario from where can I get help to get my dues which remains uncared for by HUL so far .

    Is there any Government authority who can be of help in this regard ? Or any BODY from where I can get help ?

    Pls advise .

  49. Sabyasachi says:

    Thanks for this very useful information, it helped a lot.

    I left the job 5 years ago, and have not done anything so far about the balance held in SAF. What do I have to do intimate my choice of annuity options to LIC? In other words, how can I take my old employer out of the loop, and deal directly with LIC?

    What happens if the old employer winds up business before I reach my retirement age? Will the SAF balance held with LIC be available to me for annuity, irrespective of the future status of my employer?

    1. Its not related with the employer. You should talk to LIC on this and quote your SAF number

    Nice article. We get a yearly statement from our company regarding the superannuation details.
    Our Company has given an option of getting out of superannuation scheme and if I opt to come out then that amount will be paid as salary to me in my monthly payment. Shall I opt for getting out of Superannuation or continue to remain in it ? any thoughts on this.

    1. If I were you, I would get out of Superannuation

  64. Manish says:

    Thanks for sharing the useful information.

    Pension returns (after superannuation scheme maturity) are very less and is approx 7.25% annual on the purchase price (amount converted to annuity). Is there any way we can withdraw the amount and thus can invest in higher paying instruments.

    1. No , I dont think there is any option of withdrawing it !

  79. Arpan Saxena says:

    I left my job with my first company after 34 months (<3 years) to pursue further studies. As per my calculations, I have 30000INR as my Superannuation balance with the company. There was a clause that if a person is not eligible for the gratuity (I was not), he/she can withdraw 50% amount of total amount with taxes applicable on it. I filled up for that clause and it has been 1 year that the company is not responding to my requests for the payment.
    My questions:
    1. Do I have the right to claim that 50% with applicable taxes right now? (May be there some legal hurdle for the clause I read that time in the form
    2. Till when will I get the interest generated on the amount?

    1. Hi Arpan Saxena

      You company will be able to clear your doubts on this matter.

  80. Rajni Thakur says:

    Hi, thank you for the information. I have just completed 4 years working in my current organization and would be changing my job soon. My company is deducting superannuation from my CTC @10% of basic from my Day 1.
    Now, when I have resigned, the company’s accounts department is saying that I am not eligible for refund, as it needs minimum 5 years job here to get back my money.
    They have not shared details of LIC also. What can be done to get back my money, which is > Rs 1,00,000

    1. rajesh says:

      Rajni, It is simple. Where there is deduction, there is refund. Just take the example of Gratuity, They don’t deduct anything in writing but eligibility comes only when you complete some period, let say 5 years. If you don’t complete 5 years they just don’t pay. OK.
      As you said they deducted the money from your salary & then they say you are not eligible ? It is not a legible practice. First you address the issue to the Managing Director of the Company. Don’t depend on Accounts Department. Have some thing in writing. Approach concerned Authority with proper documents. According to me you should not be losing that money.

    2. Hi Rajni Thakur

      Your cases is a bit complex and I think we are not the right people to comment on it.

      My suggestion would be hire someone who is professional in this area and consult them

    this is sahadeva reddy from bangalore,i want to know the status of superannation balance.i worked around 2 years on 2008,2009 respectively.i dont have any details about my account.how to get the details?

    1. You need to contact with your company on this .

  87. GDG says:

    There is no contribution from employee’s side for Superannuation scheme..
    It is only contribution from Employer’s side .
    Hence the eligibility criteria for superannuation sceme may come after some one reaches 50 years.

    Manish,

    For transfer, my previous employer wants an IT approval from my current employer for the Superannuation and my current employer doesnt want to share the same.
    Any clues on how to break this logjam?

    1. I think your current employer is not complying with the law , its a law abuse . Only a legal recourse can help now . what else can ?

      1. Mahadevan says:

          1. Mahadevan says:

            Sorry Manish.

            Read today that there exists something called “Unapproved Superannuation Fund”. The contribution to this is not eligible for IT benefits.

            Need your comments on this.

            1. Mahadevan says:

              Also got this email from my previous employer, need your views:

              As per our “Previous Employer’s” Employees Superannuation Fund Trust, an amount equivalent to the value of the equitable interest in the Scheme of the member can be transferred only to an approved Fund.

    Hi Manish,

    Thanks for all the above article.
    I have a query regarding SA. i had worked in a company for 3.4 years and resigned before 9 months and currently not working. Our company has employees group superannuation scheme, since i completed 3 years of service they have informed that I will be eligible for the same. Our employer contribution is 10% for this scheme.
    – As per your point (h) I would like to withdraw the full amount in account after deducting the tax.Will it be possible?
    I don’t want to opt for pension plans(In that i will get 1/2 and remaining 1/2 will be with LIC) .

    – I have read withdrawal terms that “An employee can withdraw his or her entire accumulations along with interest when he/she moves abroad on producing the consent letter from the Commissioner of Income Tax Office. But the amount so payable is taxable under Income Tax Act, 1961. Tax amount will be deducted from the proceeds and balance will be paid to the employee by employer”.

    Is this applicable only for people going to abroad.?? will I get the full amount back? My total SA amount is less than 1 Lakh.

    Thanks..

    1. I think I dont have sufficient knowledge on the SA part .

In your post you have mentioned that the employer contributes to the fund but here I am sseing that the employee needs to contribute. I am bit confused. Please enlighten me…:)

    Thanks.

    1. Its never a mandatory things for company . They might do it, or dont . Here they are giving you an option if you want to in that kind of fund. My personal suggestion is do not opt for it, if you have the control on yourself for investing that part yourself in something .

    Hi Manish,
    This is really a great piece of information. Thanks much for sharing the information.
    Have a question,
    I am working in a company and my company is contributing to the superannuation. I am able to see the accumulated amount online as well. It is with ICICI. Now I have resigned after being worked for 2.6 years. I believe, I will get only 75% + Interest as it is less than 3 years.

    Would you please let me know, what should be my next move? My next company is not having Superannuation concept. So, I should be withdrawing the amount and find a better place to invest or keep it for longer?. Can I contribute to make the investment for 3 years? Can you please share your thoughts?

    Thanks,

      1. Mallikarjun says:

        Thanks for the reply Manish.
        The reason given is I have not completed 5 years of service in the organization.

        1. Yes, 5 yrs has to be completed to get full super annuation .. but I think even now you should get some partial amount. When I left my Job at Yahoo after 3.5 yrs, I was able to get 33% of my super annuation !

          1. Mallikarjun says:

            Thanks for your response Manish.
            I tried to explian, but there is no hope. As they say it is rule and 5 years completion is must.
            Thanks alot for your response.
            I was checking with you is there any leagal way to get this amount or I should forget. As mentioned I have done this voluntirily from my CTC.
            Thanks again.

            1. Ask them to show you the rules . Tell them as per rules there is no requirement for completion of minimum 5 yrs of service .The super annuation is always passed on to a 3rd party company (mostly LIC) . So they should give you proof of this . Threaten them a bit on why you will register a police complaint of FRAUD on company . While they might be fine to say that its a rule, but they cant just say this . They have to show you proper proof for this !

    Hi!

    I work for a company which has a superannuation scheme with LIC. Now the company has given us an option of to continue or discontinue a our superannuation contributions voluntarily. I am presently in a dilemma whether or not to continue since i don’t know much about it. Could you pls guide me and let me know what could be the best for me. Have completed 5 yrs of service in the company.

    1. You can continue it if company is making contributions on their behalf also , but note that later in life it gets really complicated to claim that fully

    Are there any circumstances under which the entire superannuation fund can be paid to the person after retirement but before death -for instance on medical grounds.

    Hi,

    I want to know whether the pesnion of 2/3 of corpus under a super annuation scheme (with LIC) must be coming from LIC or individual have option to choose the company from where he/she wants to take pension.
    Thanks

    1. It comes from LIC mostly

  108. Dhanesh Sethi says:

    Hi Manish,

    Great piece of information on how to check SA status online. But unfortunately after entering the Policy Number and Branch ID number, I tried actual Date of Birth and both the options suggested by you 01/07/1960 & 07/01/1960, it does not work. Any further suggestion please?

    regards,
    Dhanesh.

    1. Hi Dhanesh

      This procedure is very old. Not sure if it will work now !

  109. neelim dutta says:

    hi,manish.i’m a regular reader of your blog.i work for a NGO having a group superannuation scheme in conjugation with group insurance with LIC.the contributions are 3 % of my basic per month plus an yearly uniform allowance goes into the fund per annum.the employer pays for the yearly insurance premium.i’ve paid 34 no.s of monthly instalments into the said fund and i want to withdraw from the scheme.can you please suggest me on this,thanking you – neelim.

    1. I dont think there is an option like “withdrawing” . You will get pension out of this amount later .

      1. neelim dutta says:

        thanx,manish.can the amount which i’ve deposited so far be made paid up instead of withdrawing it,if so then how do i go about it.plz reply,thanking you – neelim.

        1. Better enquire this with LIC or the super annuation company ,. they will be able to give the right answers on this.

  110. Santanu says:

    Hi Manish,

    Just few question here.
    What is the difference between this plan and EPF/PPF?
    Can any employer has both superannuation plan and epf? I think epf is a kind of mandatory for all companies and in such a case why companies subscribe this plan?

    Thanks for your answer in advance.
    Regards
    Santanu

    1. yes, this is compulsory in most of the companies, most of the employees are not aware about this superannuation thing and come to know only when they leave their jobs !

  111. Pankaj Jain says:

    Last month I opted for superannuation and my org deducted the amount but today I got communication that government of India has instructed LIC to stop any new additions to the existing pension schemes. Is this correct that now employees can’t opt for superannuation as per government direction?

    Thanks

    1. Not sure .please check with govt using RTI

  112. Sandeep Garg says:

    I worked with organiation for 15 years (sau company 1) and resigned to move to another sister company within same group (say Company 2). My accumulated SA balance (of company 1) transfered to Sister concern SA account (Comany 2) with LIC.

    after 9 months I resigned from sister concern (company 2) and joned new organisation (Company 3).

    Now when i tried to transfer my SA from previous organisation (Balance transfered from company 1 plus company 2 contribution for 9 months) to SA of company 3, Company 2 is refusing to transfer even contribution transfered from company 1. please advice.

    1. Whats the ground of rejection . I suggest filing a RTI asking for detailed rules on this and check if you are following it yourself or not ?

  113. Nilesh says:

    Dear Manish,
    I left one of the limited company after completion of 4 years & 9 month.
    and now i have joined new company which does have superannuation scheme.
    still i am eligible to get superannuation return from previous company with whom i had for 4 years & 9 month.
    regards
    Nilesh

  114. Ganesh Bhat B says:

    Dear Manish,
    I retired from services on 31st May, 2012 and subsequently the papers were submitted to LIC through the company. It has taken more than one year and recently I recieved the communication regarding the pension which says that the pension will start from 1st June, 2013 i.e exactly after 1 year and they say that interest is added to the capital based on which pension is calculated. Is there something called waiting period of one year? The interest for one year is practically insignificant compared to the pension amount for 1 year.

    1. I am not aware about it . You can either raise this on our forum – http://www.jagoinvestor.com/forum/ or file a RTI asking this to them !

  115. prosenjitacharje says:

    Dear Manish,

    Thanks for helping us out with your gr8 artical like always. I have a query.

    I have recently resigned from a MNC pharmaceutical organization after my 10 years of service, which gives me superannuation benefit from LIC.
    my query is they give me two option to exercise.
    (1st option) 1/3 withdraw of annuity (2nd option) 1/2 withdraw of annuity.

    My question, Is both the cases it is tax free or in both the cases the amount is after deduction of tax?

    Regards,

    Prosenjit Acharje

    1. Yes its tax free, but the amount might be before tax .

  117. jayendra Chauhan says:

    Hello,I have been with previous employer with 5 year & resign from last 3 month, but still I am not getting superannuation. I have checked with employer , they replied we can not do any thing . LIC will do for you.How can i get this money.I checked on line on LIC site. its show the total amount.
    Please guide me.

  118. Satish says:

    Hi,

    Is it possible for me to check the pension service details online? Else , what is the option?

    Satish

    1. No its not possible . try RTI

      1. Satish says:

        Hi Manish,

        Thanks for your response.

        My problem is, I got my PF transferred from RPFC Pune to a trust in Gurgaon (my company being exempted). For pension transfer, EPF Pune asked me to submit another Form-13 – does pension transfer require separate Form-13 or is it because my PF transfer was to trust that I am asked to submit another form-13.
        I submitted another Form-13, but not sure if my pension service has been transferred to RPFC Gurgaon.

        Also, when I sent the Annexure-K to RPFC Gurgaon myself, for pension updation, EPF Gurgaon says the details in Ann-K is not sufficient. My Ann-K has my date of joining EPS, exit from EPS, new EPS number. What more is needed in Ann-K. Should pension amount be mentioned?

        Regards,
        Satish

  119. Kumar says:

    I have contributed to Superannuation for close to 20 Months. Now I plan to leave Job and do a Business.

    What will happen to my Fund.

    I know my SA policy Number

    I am in no Hurry to withdraw the same. I can keep it for some years(58) or can contribute on my own.

    Thanks,
    Kumar

    1. I think you will be able to get pension out of it later , There is lot of unclarity about it , I will try to find out on that !

  120. sachin says:

    Hi Manish

    My company has been aquired by another compnay which does not have Super Annuation so Management/Trustees has decided to close the scheme. I have the following queries:

    1. If I opt to withdraw 1/3 amount. How much tax (percentage) will be deducted?
    2. when the pension will start? Will it start immediately or after the age of 58-60?
    3. How pension I am going to get assuming total corpus amount is Rs1.6lacs?
    4. Pension option is the best? I am given various pension options out which I feel below mentioned 2 options are good:

    Option 1
    ” i) Joint Life Pension with 100% of Annuity payable to the Spouse and Return of Corpus to the Nominee on the death of the Spouse ”

    Option 2

    “f) life with return of Corpus : In this , the pensioner will get the pension money till his life, & after his life, the corpus would be paid to the nominee in lump sum. Therefore in this option the pension amount is comparatively less”

    5. Last but not least, do you advice me to withdraw 1/3 amount now or should I keep 100% amount in the pension fund.

    Rgds
    Sachin

    1. Hi Sachin

      it would be better to opt for the pension for whole life, but then the amount of pension would be lower and it will start only later in life. Not right now .

      I am not sure if I have all the answers for you . You should start a thread on this at our forum – http://www.jagoinvestor.com/forum/

      1. sachin says:

        Thanks for the prompt reply.

        Some queries still unanswered:

        1. Should I withdraw 1/3 amount now and what will be the %age of tax deduction.

        2. Which the following pension options should I opt for:
        a. Life pension
        b. pension guaranteed for 5/10/15/20/years + life
        c. Life pension with return of corpus
        d. Joint life pension.

  121. K. Anand says:

    Dear Sir,

    I am currently employed in Siemens and they gave option to opt for superannuation scheme. Would it is advisable to get SA amount in hand everymonth. If I opt for the amount everymonth, would I allowed to collect the amount which I paid so far in SA scheme.
    Kindly advice.

    1. Yes you can do that, but note that SA fund is tax beneficial also

  122. RAJ says:

    My father was working for a MNC as a Executive Director and expired in 2003.He had still 2 yrs of service left before retirement.The company had a Group Superannuation scheme.They have paid 2/3rd corpus by check to my mother (who was the nominee) and 1/3rd they have put in P&GS Dept in LIC,in her name.My mother gets a regular monthly pension at a rate of interest much less than the market rate.Can she withdraw this balance 1/3rd corpus amount and invest somewhere else?
    Raj

    1. No you cant get that 1/3rd ! , it has to be for pension only

      1. RAJ says:

        Thankyou !

  123. manik says:

    My employer has communicated that the government’s directive is that No New entrants can enter into Superannuation fund, managed by LIC. When did such directive come from the government?

  124. JATINDER SINGH says:

    Sir my father was employed in powergrid corporation of India limited he was expired in Jan 2010 just before 1 year of his retirement. I have his group annuity per month of Rs 4146 per month w.e.f June 2010 getting in my bank account . And was also opted 1/3rd commutation that i got Rs. 134300. Now in Feb 2013 pension increase about Rs.350 first time in these 3 years. Kindly let me know by which method LIC annuity increases and in how much time? Can i claim this whole amount of Rs. 7 lacs now? Policy number 311249 annuity no 011M0519089503.

    1. You can get this info by LIC only and by way of filing RTI

  125. Kumar says:

    There is an important aspect that most of the people opting for superannuation miss out. I learnt this the hard way when I started to receive my pension. The pension that you receive will be about 1.5% less than the market rates. So if a bank FD is able to give you 9%, the pension that you receive will be 7.5%. What this means is over a 20 year period you are at a loss of 30% (20yrs x 1.5), the amount you would have saved on tax on your super annuation. So if you are looking at a longer pension receiving period, you are better off not to opt for super annuation.
    Instead pay tax, get the amount as your salary and invest it wisely.
    If the company is giving you superannuation benifit as an extra (not included in CTC) which is very unlikely, only then opt for it.

    1. Thanks for sharing that Kumar !

  126. AMIT SAWANT says:

    As a nominee can we withdraw 1/3 rd amount of group super annuation policy corpus after opting for pension of life with return of corpus. The pension has not still started.

    1. Yes .. if you can produce the death certificate and whatever is required by the procedure !

  127. AMIT SAWANT says:

    My dad was employee of RCF LTD Chembur and was on verge of retirement on 31st AUG 2012. But due to illness he expired on April 2012. His employer RCF LTD Chembur has group super annuation policy of all employees in which my father was member. Me and my sister is nominee of the policy. Further after my dad ‘s death the employer asked to submit a form in which they took bank account details . The actual query is the pension is going to start from march-2013, but me and my sister want the corpus back which is with LIC back as we as shortage of funds . Is there any loan facility with this group super annuation policy.

    1. Only if your father had opted for the 1/3rd funds back !

      1. AMIT SAWANT says:

        thanx for your valuable information. We have filled one form since me and sister are nominee. We deposited around 1,30,000 (equivalent amount of corpus which was deposited by company since 4-5 years) . I want to clear even after start of pension we can withdraw 1/3 rd amount because me and sister are in requirement of money .The option we selected is life pension with return of corpus , but dont know that father had selected 1/3 rd option. please guide sir.

        1. Hi Amit

          I think you will have to file a RTI to resolve this , my understanding is limited in this !

  128. SGupta says:

    I want to change the bank a/c no. where the superannuation pension is deposited every month. Does anyone know the process of changing the bank a/c for superannuation pensions.

    Sir,

    1. Its not so easy to calculate like this , there can be many factors in between . Will you do the job at same place for 38 yrs ?

  131. Vinay Jain says:

    Dear sir,
    I had joined Limited Co. in Dec.07 and left in Aug.09, and there was a Deduction of 15% of basic Salary as Superannuation contribution. They have created their own Superannuation trust not with LIC and deposited our amount in that Fund. After I left the Co. , they told me that you have not completed Service of 5 years, so your Contribution has been forfeited. Superannuation contribution was part of my CTC, not paid by Employer other then CTC.

    Now they have made rule that Superannuation contribution may be withdrawn or to be paid to Employees, who are at present on Pay Roll, not to Employees, who left the Co. earlier.
    Pl. advice, Can I get my Superannuation contribution of 21 month back, as this is Hard Earned Money.

    Thanks & regards,
    Vinay Jain

    1. Vinay

      At the time of joining what was the agreement with your company , if it said that you will have to serve for 5 yrs to claim that , only then you will be able to get it , else not

      1. ravi says:

        Hi Manish,

        Thanks you very much for the clarity

        I worked in an organization for 1.8 years and moved to new company. Is it wise to continue or shall I withdraw the amount? my employer contribution was 15 % to the basic. Pl assist

        Ravi

        1. YOu should ideally transfer the EPF to your new company !

        2. If you need the money right now , only then you should withdraw , else transfer it !

  132. ashok k vig says:

    Sir,

    Regards,

    1. If things are not going as per rules, you need to file a case against them !

  133. Pradeep Anavatti says:

    Thanks Manish,
    This is good article. Please let me know how to know the status of application of super annuation after applying for withdrawal.

    2. Register for a user id and password.

    I am not able to find link to register for a user id and password on licindia home page.
    Link on home page “New user? Click here” is taking to a page where first thing it is asking is policy number and premium, which doesnt looks like for super annuation fund because for super annuation we dont have a fixed premium.

    I have group policy number with me.

  137. Anu says:

    Hi Manish,

    I tried to log in to lic india but first thing it is asking is for a policy number and insurance premium.

    can you provide me link to complete step 2 of login process?

    1. No idea on that .. those things you will have to find yourself !

  138. Lokesh says:

    Dear Manish,

    Is it good to continue the SA instead of taking the money as part of the monthly salary, could you please clarify on this?

    1. If you can get it as part of salary, better take it and invest on your own !

      1. Dheeraj Puri says:

        If you are taking it immediately it is taxable, but If you keep it till your retirement the commutation value 1/3 is non taxable and you will get pension on the balance fund as per our pension option. You fund will accumulate with minimum 9% and higher depending upon the superannuation fund size of your company.

        1. Thanks for that info !

  139. Manjeet says:

    Dear Manish,

    As a practice company provide statements as per finicial year period for ex March 11 to April 12.

    Does march month contribution included in a yearly superannuation statement issued by Organsiation or it will remit in the next finical year statement.

    Kindly confirm.

    1. Are you sure they are giving mar – apr , because generally its Apr – Mar

  142. ananth says:

    Manish,
    Thanks for the Clear details and guildelines to check the superannuation on the LIC webpage. I could do it in 5 mins, and check the balance. One clarification: It shows only the accumalated value, how can I check what is the interest earned for a particular year or for this amount?

    1. Ananth

      I am not sure on that. you can do that with LIC using a RTI query !

Is this is acceptable to LIC Fund that Main company and Division have separate rules.

    Thanks in advance

    1. Yes it might happen . Note that its a benefit and not a standard thing which every company does, So it can happen !

  146. nipun says:

    -Is it correct to show the superannuation as part of CTC?
    -Is an employer free to make rules like – employee will get his superannuation fund only if he completes 5 years service with the them?
    -What rights does an employee have , if he has no information about his superannuation account no. , the balance from the employer?
    -What if the employee does not work till his retirement? will he loose all his superannuation fund.
    – What if employer is not maintaining superannuation fund with LIC , and another employer does not have superannuation scheme? What would happen to the fund?
    Kindly confirm
    Thanks
    Nipun
    9462099866

    1. – Yes most of the companies show super annuation in CTC only . If they do not show it , then your CTC will be lower , simple

      – Its not a employer rules , its super annuation product rule

      – You need to find out the information, ignorance is not a solution

      – No , but you need to work for atleast 5 yrs, on leaving your job you will get it

      – I m not sure on this one

    What is the pocedure of withdrawn of Superannuation from previous employeer M/s Shree Cement Limited.

  149. PS says:

    I have Superannuation policy through my MNC. I want to know detail for withdrawal part. It would better if you can guide with example. Like if at the time of retirment my total amount with LIC is 5 lacs and I opt for life time pension, after my death what amount will be given to whome? How corpus will be calculated? Or pension will be given to nominee?

    1. PS says:

      In addition..
      (1) Presently LIC is giving 9 to 9.5% return, the same will be given for pension also?

      (2)You have written : “Corpus is what is left behind with LIC after commutation (max of 33% of total contribution +interest accrued can be commuted)” could you explain in detail?
      (3) What is major negetive points to opt Superannuation?

      Kindly advise.

      1. Which product gives 9-9.5% , who told you that ?

        Pension will not be more than 5%

        1. Dheeraj Puri says:

          The superannuation accumulation miniumum interest rate of LIC is 9% goes upto 9.66% depending upon the fund size of the Superannuation fund of the company with LIC. The pension option mostly pension choose is Return of Capital where Pension rate is around 70/1000 depending upon the corpus and mode of annuity payment.

      1. PS says:

        I have tried to ask in https://www.jagoinvestor.com/forum/

        but not able to create login due to error.

        Yearly return 9 to 9.5% is shown in yearly Superannuation policy statement from LIC which I received. My opening balance was 1.5 lacs and interest received 14k.

        This is my just 3rd year of contribution towards Superannuation.

        1. Sent you the login/pass , now you can ask it

  150. PATTEL KUMAR says:

    Dear Manish
    I am surprising that If i take 1/3 commutation balance will be around Rs.434000/-against I am getting only 5 % return as yearly pension Rs.(21700) . If suppose I deposit in F.D I will get apprx Rs.40000/- per year .

    I choose 1/3 commutation and balance as annutiy on attaining on age of 58. Pl clarify the point

    Pattel Kumar

    1. the sad truth is that any pension plan in India gives around 4-5% only , thats how it is !

      1. M.A.ZOKANDE says:

        MR. MANISH/PATTEL KUMAR.
        YOU WILL BE GETTING ABOUT 6% OF YOUR BALANCE WITH LIC, WHICH IS TOO MEGRE. INTEREST SHOULD BE AT LEAST 10%. WEE SHOULD TAKE UP WITH LIC.

        1. What will you take up with lic ?

  151. PATTEL KUMAR says:

    I am s member of superannuation scheme. My old employer was contributing to superannuation ,At present there is no contribution, I will retire on 17.05.2015 on attaing 58 years. My superannuation account balance is aorunf 650000/- How much i will get as monthly pension after commuting 1/3 of the amount

    1. You can expect 4-5% of the remaining amount as pension per year , It also depends on which mode you choose ?

    I have worked in a company for 4 years, and then changed my job, i want to transfer my super annuation fund to the new company , but my previous employer says i can do only if i had worked there for 5 years. please advise what i can do.
    1 Can i transfer the fund to my new organisation. , if yes what will i get
    2. Can i withdraw the fund since i have already worked more than 3 years in the previous company.
    3. if i withdraw , what will i get,

    1. Vishwesh

      Superannuation is an employee’s voluntry contribution and 15% of his basic salary will be deducted for the same. When ever he leaves the particular organization, he can withdraw the amount. But Employee can withdraw 1/3 of Superannuation Fund as tax free income and with rest pf 2/3 he has to buy an annuity plan (pension plan)

      1. Vishesh Kavi says:

        I got your point sir, but my question is still,
        1. Can i transfer the super annuation fund to the new organisaition like PF transfer.
        2. i have worked for more than 3 years, can i withdraw

        1. Vishesh

          Yes i am not sure on these points , kindly ask it on our forum , you will surely get a right answer there : https://www.jagoinvestor.com/forum

  161. Hari says:

    Manish,

    Thanks for sharing the valuable information. I was able to view the Super Annuation Scheme contributions made by me and my employer. I would like to add some more points.

    1) This is not a mandatory scheme and hence purely at the discretion of the organisations to choose criteria for providing the super-annuation scheme for the employees.

    2) There can be 2 parts -> Employee contribution & Employer contributions. Though the Employee contribution is absent in general, there might be cases where the organisation asks for contributions from employee as well.
    For instance, our organisation contribuites equal amount of employee’s share to the Super Annuation Fund(capped at 10% of basic). While employee’s share and interest on it is fully available for annuity plans, the employer’s share may vary depending on the service contributed – ranging from 10% for less than 5 years to 100% for 9 years and above.

    You need to know the following before going to the provider’s portal
    a) Whether your company is providing Super Annuation benefit. If so, are you eligible for the Super Annuation in case of any criteria.
    b) The reference id’s (such as LIC id and policy number) of the Super Annuation scheme.

    Thanks,
    Hari.

    1. Hari

      Thanks for providing that additional information 🙂

  162. Shri Niwas says:

    I have retired from a MNC in Ghaziabad after serving 34 years.
    My company provide super annuation to its employees, and I am elligible for the same and superannuation pension. I would like to know the calculation or formula to calculate monthly pension to plan tenure of the pension. How can I come to know ? please advise.

    Shri Niwas

    1. Shri

      Planning for that will be little tricky .. I assume you are talking about the LIC super annuation form which you get .. you have to choose tenure and the option of getting the principle back or not in the end .. This info is not available like that … the choosing of the option should depend on few things like

      – Do you want the principle amount at the end ? This if ticked YES will mean less pension each month
      – Higher the tenure – lower the pension

      Now combine these two things and decide which one you want

    Want to know if it is compulsory to join the company’s superannuation plan. I am not interested but company is insisting that i be a part of it. Also i came to know that the funds is not deposited before completion of 5 years of each employee with LIC. I don’t know what is that agreement/adjustment with LIC. Also the company will not return back the money if i do not complete minimum of 5 years. All this i came to know only after joining and feel very cheated. I would like to come out of the scheme and since i have only completed 1 year, i don’t mind relinquishing my earlier contribution in this regard. Please advise.

    I tried the process to check the accumulation but could not even register. It asks for premium installation amount to register. Does it mean individual installment or Company’s installment? no idea, How to proceed. Can you help? One more thing, Do you have fare idea about rate of interest paid by LIC since year 2001? If you can share, will be help.

Mean while co. extende it to 10 years through LIC, that what I have listen. They never mentioned this benefit on papers, bu on the increament letter of 7th year it was mentioned & included in CTC. Now when I ask, they refuse to accept it & says it is lapsed as I have not completed 10 year of service? As such there was no agreement in between. My new emploey does not have such scheme. Kindly yell me how I can get my money now? What are the legal aspects for the same? Can I sue them in court?Please help me.

    1. Shailendra

      Superannuation benefit is not a mandatory thing in India ,its on employer part if he wants to provide it or not , as you didnt had any written agreement on the same , I dont think you can now push for it . If you had something in written , then there are some legal base to fight the case , still I would recommend you consult a CA on this for more deeper understanding .

        thanks for you immediate replay. Polaris payroll gave one document for withdrawn superannuation amount . i am unable to fill few of the columns. can you please help me . i had worked Polaris 3.9 years .
        I need to withdraw all my superannuation amount.
        I need to withdraw all my superannuation amount.

        1) Whether commuted Value is desired? YES / NO
        (1/3 of Pension can be commuted by those
        receiving Gratuity and 50% for others)
        What i can fill for this question this yes or no

        2) Tye of Pension selected
        a) Life annuity with Return of Capital
        (OR)
        b)_______________________________________

        i want to withdraw all my amount with out chosen any pension. What is the option i can choose .

        c) Mode of Pension: Monthly / Quarterly / Hly / Yearly

        What can choose the option

        Regards
        Bhargava

        1. Bhargava

          In your case as you have not worked for 5+ yrs, you will not be eligible for gratuity , In your case , You will NOT BE ABLE to withdraw 100% of superannuation ., Its not possible so you have to go with 1/2 option . 1/3 is for people who are eligible for gratuity .

          So you will get 50% money withdrawan and other 50% will have to go with LIC for pension which you will get after you are old enough to get it 🙁 .

          Now its your option which kind of pension option you choose , the less the tenure , the higher the pension , if you want to get the money at the end , you will recive less pension . Pension frequency if what you have to choose , choose monthly only

          I was also facing the same problem last month as my DOB and other dates were not working and the LIC webpage was giving authentication related error. I contacted LIC through my company and requested them to look into the problem. Then I tried after some days and I was able to see my superannuation policy.

    Hi Manish,

    Thanks for the article, I have some queries in my mind.
    My previous employer use to deduct SA amount on monthly basis and submit it to LIC (I have the reciepts). Its a private firm & I worked there almost 2.9 years. Thereafter I joined another private firm which doesn’t have any SA scheme so clear my below doubts.

    Do I am eligible to withdraw SA; if yes than how much can I withdraw, partial or full amount?

    If I can’t withdraw SA is there a procedure to transfer even if my present employer doesn’t have any SA scheme

    Kindly clarify, thanks kunal

    LIC Superannuation scheme: Question: Supplose my account is showing a balance of around 5 lacs after two years(my age 60 years at that time), what will be my monthly pension and upto what age, will i get pension. Whether my wife will get any amount after my death. Pl clarify.

  201. Pash says:

    I am eligible for SA and it is deducted from my salary (15% of the basic).
    Does company add 15% additional basic to the SA account?
    It is possible to use this under section 80C?

    1. I dont think so , they say SA comes under 80C , but i havent seen anyone including it

      1. Debjyoti Banerjee says:

        Dear Manish,
        I work in a well known PSU. When i joined this company, they offered LIC Group Superannuation Pension Scheme. 7.5% of basic is paid employee and another 2.5% is paid by employer. So when I was calculating my savings u/s 80 c, the employee side contribution (mine) was added along with my EPF contribution. The remaining amount after subtracting from 1,00,000 u/s 80 c, i invested in PPF. So yes, if employee contributes in Superannuation scheme, it comes under Sec 80 c.

    I received the group policy no from my employer which is GSCA/… followed by a 6 digit number. I am trying to enter those 6 digits, but it says policy number is not correct. I dont understand the problem, because the Policy number is correct as received from our payroll dept. Could you tell me what could be the problem?

    thanks.

    1. Are you sure you are putting date correctly , reverse the date order and check ?

  204. Shantharam says:

    Friends,

    Wanted to know if the 15% contribution by the company is a monthly one or yearly ?

    Thanks,
    Shantharam

    1. Ajay says:

      @Shantharam,
      I think it is 15% of the basic and is deducted monthly. Eventhough the 15% of yearly basic also adds up to the same value of 15% of monthly * 12 months. I am not use if the company deposits it with LIC every month / quarter / yearly.

  205. vivek sipani says:

    Dear friends,
    I would like to know:-
    Whatever ammount i invest in SA is it deducted from my gross salary like”Housing loan Interest” i.e. is it a ammount that is above 1.0Lac normal investement which we do or not??.If any one clear ,pl help.

    1. Vivek

      Superannuation does not form part of 80C , also its not done explicitely by you . its a seperate thing .

      Hi,

      It is regarding checking of my superannuation fund balance online. I have my company’s group policy number and LIC id.
      When I open ‘new user registration’ in licindia.in, it asks for following 4 information:
      1) Policy No:
      2) Installment Premium:
      3) DOB:
      4) Email ID:

      Should I use the group-policy number in first box?
      I don’t know what premium amount to put.

      Please help,
      Thanks,
      Madhu.

      1. Yes you have to put your policy number in the first column .

        Manish

        1. Madhu says:

          Manish, thanks for the reply.
          I used 6-digit policy number, excluding GSCA. It says that policy number is used. What to do?
          What premium amount to use.. as it kept varying every year and I have left the company now?

      i was working with HCC company , there was superannuation scheme was running. i had leaved from that company, but i want to continue my company,s superannuation scheme myself.

      1. Dilip

        It does not work that way .. superannuation you can continue only when you are employed!

        1. Nilufer says:

          Hello Manish,

          Can contribution to superannuation be increased by an individual, just like how we have Voluntary Provident Fund..? Employer can contribute his exact figure to superannuation, and over and above that if we want to contribute, can that be done??

          1. Actually , I have not heard about it … Not possible I guess

  216. Anonymous says:

    Can some one let me know calculation sheet available to make out what ROC benificary or nominee will be getting in Life + Roc scheme for corpus of 10 lacs with start age as 42 and estimated life up to age of 90. I am unable to get answer from LIC as well my employer.

    1. Manjunath says:

      If my understanding is right, Corpus is what is left behind with LIC after commutation (max of 33% of total contribution +interest accrued can be commuted). Your annuity amount depends whether your annuity os monthly or qursterly, half yearly or Yearly and the Corpus. In the case of Annuity for life, the annuant will receive annuity till death (whatevber be the age at death). Upon the death of the annuant, his/her legal heir gets the entire amount in corpus without any interest, etc.

      1. Manjunath

        Even there is a option , if you want the corpus at the end of your death or not , If you choose that you get the corpus ,then your pension becomes more lesser .

        Manish

        1. Manjunath says:

          Yes, I agree with you. There are 5 differnet options one can exersie at the time of retirement/change of job/etc. They are all listed in the LIC of India web site under Group superannuation scheme.

        2. Murthy says:

          Thank you for the information.It is useful.

      2. Kiran Shet says:

        Dear Manjunath,

        I have a related query on taxation of the commutation amount, my previous employer says the commutation amount is taxable at 30%, however I understand from various posts and responses on the net that, the commutation amount should be added to the individuals income of that particular FY and taxed as per the tab slab for that FY.

        which is this correct ?
        a) Tax to be deduced at 30% of the Commutation amount ?
        b) Commutation amount to be added to income of that FY and taxed accordingly ?

        Your response and input will be greatly appreciated.

        Regards,
        Kiran

        1. Kiran

          Better ask on forum – https://www.jagoinvestor.com/forum/ , other readers might not check your question !

    2. Manjunath says:

      Dear,

      In the example you are talking about, the beneficiary or nominee will only get Rs10Lakhs, which is the corpus, in the event of the death of the annuant. If annuant lives upto 90 years, he/she will receive annuity for 48 years. The beneficiary or nominee will come into picture only at the time of death of the annuant.
