The Pension Payment Order (PPO) is an important number for pensioners and those approaching retirement. The 12-digit PPO number is required at the time of applying for pension. Moreover, it's also important to include the PPO number at the time of filing the life certificate each year. It is also required if you intend to close the previous bank account in order to receive pension payments in a new bank account.

Pensioners need to know the PPO number for monitoring their pension and receiving it. Even at the time of filing complaints with EPFO, the PPO Number can be used. The unique number is given to every pensioner under Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS), a programme designed to offer retired people monetary benefits and security under Employee Provident Fund (EPF).

What is the PPO number?

It is a 12-digit number required for receiving a pension. "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," according to the Central Pension Account Office.
