EPS’95 Pensioners can now submit Life Certificate at any time which will be valid for 1 year from date of submission, the retirement fund body has Tweeted on its official Twitter handle @socialepfo. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation had earlier allowed pensioners to submit life certificates at any time of the year, moving away from the practice of submitting them before a given deadline.
EPFO’s pension scheme which is technically known as Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS), is a social security scheme provided by the EPFO. EPS’95 scheme makes provisions for employees working in the organised sector for a pension after their retirement at the age of 58 years.
“EPS’95 Pensioners can now submit Life Certificate at any time which will be valid for 1 year from date of submission,” the EPFO said in a tweet.
