EPFO Goa Urges Employers: Submit Pension Claims One Month in Advance

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), Regional Office, Goa, is implementing the 'PRAYAAS' initiative to ensure retiring employees receive their Pension Payment Order (PPO) on their retirement day. The initiative processes pension-related claims in advance to prevent post-retirement pension benefit delays, ensure smooth transition, and minimize repeated visits to the EPFO office. EPFO Goa has appealed to employers in the state to submit complete pension claims with updated KYC details at least one month before retirement. Regional Provident Fund Commissioner-I Sachin Shetty urged establishments to participate in the initiative.
