EPFO gave information

In the tweet made by EPFO, it is written that EPS-95 pensioners can now submit life certificate at any time. It will be valid for 1 year from the date of deposit. Life Certificate validates the proof of life of a retired employee. They are valid for 12 months from the date of submission. This has to be updated from time to time to ensure that the pensioners continue to get their pension. EPC pensioners were earlier required to submit digital life certificate in November. Earlier, in the month of November, a huge crowd of pensioners used to collect certificates at the centres. Now EPS-95 pensioners have benefited a lot from this.
