Pension will not be available without PPO number
Let us know that after the employee retires, he is issued a PPO number of 12 digits by EPFO and through this he gets pension every month. This is a kind of reference number and many benefits can be availed through it. If the same PPO number is used for communication with the Central Pension Accounting Office, then it is necessary to keep it. Under the new rules of EPFO, PPO number is mandatory for any pension holder to know the status of pension. Pension cannot be withdrawn without it.
