Know why PPO number is important
As a pensioner, you should ensure that the Pension Payment Order Number is entered in your passbook. Many times it happens that the bank employees do not enter the PPO number in the passbook of the pensioner. When the pension account is transferred from one branch to another, when the PPO number is not there in the passbook, then it can cause problems. Due to this, the release of pension may also get delayed.
Apart from this, if you file any complaint related to your pension in EPFO, then it is mandatory to give you PPO number here too. PPO number is also required to know pension status online.
