How Pensioners Can Retrieve Their PPO No. Using Bank A/c No.Or Member ID?

Pension Payment Order or PPO is an important 12-digit unique number or code that facilitates pensioners of Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) in getting their due pension after retirement. Also when completing the formalities in respect of availing pension i.e. submitting life certificate year on year, pensioners need to mandatorily produce this PPO number. This number is indeed allotted by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO).
