The correct option is C. Upon the establishment of the Employees’ Pension Fund under the 1995 Scheme, the existing Family Pension Scheme ceased to operate.

The Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995, was introduced to replace the Employees’ Family Pension Scheme, 1971. All assets and liabilities of the Family Pension Fund were transferred to the new Pension Fund, and the Family Pension Scheme consequently ceased to exist.

The Employees’ Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) Scheme is a separate scheme under the EPF Act, providing life insurance cover. It was not replaced by the Employees’ Pension Scheme. The Employees’ Provident Fund itself also continues to exist alongside the Pension Scheme.
