Last date for EPFO pensioners to submit life certificates is 28th February

Normally the EPFO pensioners have to submit their live certificates during the month of November. If the pensioners fail to do so, their pension will be stopped.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Jeevan Pramaan – an Aadhar-based Digital Life Certificate’ for pensioners, in a move that could eventually benefit over a crore pensioners.
In view of the above the EPFO has done away with the system of accepting life certificate manually through banks. The pensioners would have to provide life certificate digitally either through their mobile phone or at common service centres or at bank branches providing the facility.
Earlier in November last year, the EPFO had decided to extend the last date for submission of life certificate till January 15, 2017, in order to provide relief to pensioners as they were facing difficulties in banks due to demonetization. Now EPFO has extended the deadline for submitting digital life certificate by its over 50 lakh pensioners till February 28 to help them get their pension account linked with Aadhaar.
