UID not needed for availing pension: EPFO
TIMES NEWS NETWORK 11.04.2018
New Delhi: Pensioners under the Employee Pension Scheme (EPS) will now be able to avail their pensions by submitting paper life certificates in case they do not have an Aadhaar number or if fingerprint authentication fails in case of those who do possess Aadhaar.
Many pensioners had been facing problems in submitting ‘Jeevan Pramaan’ or life certificate digitally and non-submission of life certificate would have led to their pension being stopped.
The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has asked all pension disbursing banks and post offices to provide alternative mechanisms, including acceptance of paper life certificates for all pensioners facing problems in providing digital “Jeevan Pramaan.”
For pensioners who cannot get and submit digital Jeevan Pramaan on account of not possessing Aadhaar, the EPFO directive said efforts should first be made to ensure that such pensioners are helped to get Aadhaar enrolment.
It said the bank manager may coordinate with the bank branch where the Aadhaar enrolment facility is available and get the beneficiary enrolled for Aadhaar.
