EPS 95 PENSION NEWS: EPS 95 Pensioners Can Submit Their Life Certificate any Time in a Year | How to Submit Life Cirtificate

EPS 95 PENSIONERS LIFE CERTIFICATE SUBMISSION NEAREST CSC CENTER  FIND

Pensioners covered under Employees' Pension Scheme, 1995 (EPS, 1995) can now submit their life certificate any time during the year. Earlier, EPS pensioners were required to submit the life certificate in the month of November every year. 

Remember this decision of Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is applicable to only those pensioners who are covered under the Employees' Pension Scheme, 1995, i.e. non-government pensioners covered under Employees Provident Fund Scheme during their working years. Therefore, central and state government pensioners will continue to submit their life certificate in the month of November every year. 

The decision to allow EPS pensioners to submit their life certificate any time during the year was announced by the EPFO via circular dated December 18, 2019. The move is aimed at facilitating the submission of life certificate every year and also to ensure that the pension of a genuine pensioner is not stopped.

The move will benefit the 64 lakh EPS pensioners. The life certificate once submitted any time during the year will remain valid for one year. Therefore, if a pensioner has submitted the life certificate recently in the month of November 2019, then you can submit the life certificate any time before the month of November, 2020. If the certificate is submitted in the month of August 2020, then it will remain valid till August 2021. 

In this case the EPS pensioner would be required to submit the life certificate any time on or before August 2021. If the pensioner does not submit the life certificate by August 2021, then the pension will be stopped from the next month i.e. from September 2021 in this example.
