EPF Pensioners: What is 'Nirbadh Seva’ that will help members get instant PPO number after retirement – check details!

The Employee Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has announced a new service – ‘Nirbadh Sewa’ in the new year. By availing this facility, members registered with the EPFO can get pension without any delay within days of their retirement. 

EPFO shared the benefits of ‘Nirbadh Sewa’ through an infographic on its official Twitter handle. 

The Ministry of Personnel and Public Grievances (Personnel Public Grievances and Pension) had ordered EPFO to resolve the pension-related complaints (EPF Pension Grievances) of the members as soon as possible.  

EPFO has launched the Nirbadh Seva scheme with the aim to provide seamless service to its members by providing the pension payment order (PPO) immediately upon retirement.

Earlier, EPFO members used to face many difficulties in generating their PPO numbers for their post-retirement pension. 

To counter this malady, EPFO has decided that the retiring employees will get help in guidance and training related to PPO and pension through Webinars under Nirbadh Service. “Employees retiring within 3 months are being invited for guidance and training in webinars along with employers,” the organisation said. 

EPFO is one of the world's largest social security organisations in terms of clientele and the volume of financial transactions undertaken. At present, it maintains 24.77 crore accounts pertaining to its members, as per the annual report 2019-20. 

The mission of EPFO is to meet the evolving needs of comprehensive social security in a transparent, contactless, faceless, and paperless manner.
