You may rely on the report obtained by the Company from the independent professional actuary. However, to be on the safer side, you may verify the escalation rates taken the valuer and those actually existent in the Company.
The Company might take a lower salary growth rate to have lower provision. Also do verify the interest rates on the funds taken for calculating the interest earned on the fund.
