The Employee Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) runs a programme- ‘Nirbadh Sewa’ - a facility that allows members to get pension without any delay within days of their retirement. With this, subscribers can get pension payment order (PPO) on the date of retirement only. Under this, all regional offices of EPFO organize monthly webinar "Prayaas an endeavour to release PPO on the day of retirement".

PPO is an unique 12-digit number that enables pensioners to receive their pension. Along with the Life Certificate, which is required to submit every year, PPO number is crucial.

Here are the steps to know your PPO number:

Step 1:

Logon to the official website

Step 2: Go to pensioner's portal

Step 3: Click on 'Know your PPO number'

Step 4: Submit either bank account number of PF number

Click on submit and you will get your PPO number

The PPO number is sent to every retiring employee through a letter by the EPFO. It is a necessary document for every person who has retired or is on the verge of retirement. A PPO number serves as a point of reference for any contact with the Central Pension Accounting Office (CPAO).
