Check EPFO Pension Status

PPO numbers are the most important factor in knowing the EPFO pension status, as they are unique to every account. Here are the steps to find the pension payment order number:

Step 1: Visit the EPFO portal

Step 2: Click on the pensioner’s portal present under the services tab.

Step 3: A new page will open with the message “Welcome to Pensioners Portal.” Click on the button ‘Know your PPO number.’

Step 4: You must enter either your PF number given at the time of opening the account or your bank account number.

Step 5: Once you provide either of the above numbers, a Member ID, pension type and PPO number will be allotted to you. You can check your EPFO pension status using these credentials.

What are the various types of pensions under the employee pension scheme

The employee pension scheme (EPS) contains various types of pensions that cover every individual. Here are the various types of pensions covered under the EPS:

1. Widow pension

A widow pension provides a pension amount to the widow of the pension holder after the death of the original pension account holder.

2. Child pension

In case the pension holder dies, the children become eligible for the pension amount along with the widow pension. The child receives the pension until the age of 25.

3. Orphan pension

If the original account holder dies along with the widow, the children who become orphans are entitled to the orphan’s pension. The pension amount is 75% of the monthly widow pension.

4. Reduced pension

If the account holder has completed 10 years of work and is between 50 and 58 years of age, the account holder can withdraw the pension early. However, the pension amount is reduced by 4% every year until the member reaches the age of 58.

EPF pension forms

If you have retired and want to withdraw your pension amount after the EPFO pension check, you have to fill out the applicable pension forms from the forms listed below:

1. Form 10C

If you are a registered EPFO member and want to withdraw your pension amount before 10 years of service.

2. Form 10D

For general monthly pension withdrawal or withdrawal for a widow, child and other types of pension. This form is applicable if you are above 50 years of age.

3. Life certificate

If you are a guardian or a current pensioner, you must sign a life certificate to establish that you are alive and eligible to receive the pension. This form must be signed every November.

4. Non-remarriage certificate

If you are a widow, you must sign and submit a non-remarriage certificate to establish that you have not remarried. This form is also required to be signed every November.
