EPFO Issues 251 Pension Payment Orders Within 24 Hours of Retirement

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has set a remarkable benchmark by issuing 251 Pension Payment Orders (PPOs) to retirees within just 24 hours of their retirement. The initiative was carried out by EPFO’s Nariman Point office on June 30, ensuring that pensioners began receiving their entitlements without delay.

 

The PPOs were distributed during a felicitation event attended by SVR Srinivas, General Manager of BEST, and Ranjan Kumar Sahoo, Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (RPFC-I) of the Nariman Point office. Both officials handed over the PPOs to the beneficiaries and praised the achievement as a step toward efficient and citizen-friendly service delivery.

 

Srinivas commended EPFO for its commitment to timely pension disbursement, noting that the ability to issue PPOs within a single day of retirement reflects significant improvements in operational efficiency. The move is expected to provide retirees with greater financial security by ensuring a seamless transition from employment to retirement benefits.

 

EPFO’s initiative has been lauded as a model for public sector service delivery, setting an example for other offices to adopt faster and more transparent processes in handling pension and retirement-related claims.
