When filing complaints with EPFO, the Pension Payment Order Number can be useful (Employee Provident Fund Organization).
When you submit the annual life certificate, you must also have your PPO number. Pension payments may be halted for failure to submit a life certificate.
If you are planning to close the previous bank account, a PPO number is also necessary in order to receive pension payments in a new bank account.
What is the Pension Payment Order (PPO) number?
According to the Central Pension Account Office, “The first five digits of each PPO represent the PPO Issuing Authority’s code number, the following two digits indicate the year of issue, and the next four digits indicate the PPO’s sequential number, with the last digit serving as a computer check digit. A PPO with the number 709650601302 indicates that it was issued by AG Madhya Pradesh in 2006, is the 130th PPO issued by that PPO issuing authority, and is assigned computer code-2.”
