EPFO is now providing more convenience to pensioners. For this, it has entered into a special agreement with India Post Payments Bank (IPPB). According to this agreement, EPS-95 pensioners can now submit their Digital Life Certificate (DLC) from their homes.
Through this service, even those living in rural areas can get the DLC verification facility at their doorstep. The service charge of Rs 50 for each life certificate will be borne by EPFO.
This new system ensures that pension payments continue without any interruption and provides great relief to pensioners who are elderly or cannot go out due to health problems.
With this doorstep service, senior citizens can easily submit their life certificates at home, without having to visit banks or EPFO offices. EPFO has taken steps to expand this service nationwide in a phased manner.
