Life Certificate Update: What is a PPO Number? Step-by-Step Guide for EPF Pensioners to Easily Find It

Life Certificate Update

Pensioners are required to submit their life certificates by 30th November every year. However, the date for submission of life certificates for pensioners aged above 80 years begins on 1st October. A significant number of individuals receive pensions in the country. The PPO number (Pension Payment Order) is crucial for pensioners as it serves as a 12-digit identification code for those receiving a pension under the EPF scheme. Every pensioner in the country is assigned a unique PPO number. Throughout this article, we will discuss the importance of PPO numbers and provide a step-by-step guide on how pensioners can easily find them.

What is a PPO Number?

The PPO number is a 12-digit identification number that serves as a reference for all pension-related transactions and communications with the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). This number is crucial for pensioners and consists of the following:

  • The first five digits represent the code of the authority issuing the PPO.
  • The next two digits indicate the year of issue.
  • The following four digits are the serial number of the PPO.
  • The last digit is a digital code.

Pensioners must provide their PPO number for purposes such as submitting life certificates.

How to Find Your PPO Number:

The PPO number is important for accessing online pensioner services provided by the EPFO through its portal and mobile app. To download pension slips, register complaints, or update personal information, you must know your PPO number.

Pensioners often enter their PPO numbers incorrectly, which can cause issues with the pension application or receipt process. If you have forgotten your PPO number, here’s how you can find it:

  1. Visit the EPFO website.
  2. Click on “For Employees,” then select “Pensioners Portal” under Online Services.
  3. In the pensioners’ portal, look for the option to find your PPO number.
  4. Enter your PF account number and bank account number to retrieve your PPO number.

By following these steps, you can easily retrieve your PPO number and continue with your pension-related activities.
