EPFO starts issuing pension from J&K offices

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Jan 22: The EPFO has started the process of issuing pension from the offices of Jammu and Kashmir which was earlier being done from Regional Office, Amritsar.
This has greatly eased the process of availing pension. In the month of January, 2022, ten PPOs have been released till now in favour of the beneficiaries. In some of the cases, documents were solicited from employers and proactive action was taken to overrule flimsy observations/objection.
Meanwhile, the collection of funds in EPF Administrative Accounts has witnessed unprecedented growth in Jammu and Kashmir.
In the month of December 2021, Rs 75 lakhs were collected in Jammu and Rs 50 lakhs in Srinagar. This positive indicator is a matter of great satisfaction for the Organisation and confidence building parameter, which also exhibits that a substantial number of workers are getting benefit of social security in the Zone, said Rizwan Uddin, Regional PF Commissioner.
The Commissioner further informed that the Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh Zone has also achieved third place at pan India level in percentage of e-Nominations completed.
