When the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS) pensioners retire, they are allotted a 12-digit Pension Payment Order (PPO) number. The PPO code is unique for every Employee Provident Fund (EPF) subscriber or pensioner and it works as a reference number for any communication made to the Central Pension Accounting Office (CPAO).
With the help of the 12-digit PPO number, EPS subscribers can check their pension status on the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) website.
What is Pension Payment Order (PPO)?
According to the CPAO, “In each PPO, the first five digits indicate the code number of the PPO Issuing Authority, the next two digits indicate the year of the issue, the next four digits refer to the sequential number of the PPO and the last digit is a check digit for the purpose of the computer.
For example, a PPO bearing number 709650601302 implies that PPO has been issued by AG Madhya Pradesh, in the year 2006 and is the 130th PPO issued by that PPO issuing authority, and is allotted computer code-2″.
A PPO number can also be used to make payment enquiries and lodge grievances on the EPFO portal.
When you apply for a pension or submit an annual life certificate, a 12-digit PPO number is required. In fact, it is not possible to transfer a PF account from one bank branch to another without a PPO number.
