EPFO: Pensioners taking pension from the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) under the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS) 1995 do not have to submit life certificates till November 30.

It will be considered valid for the next one year from the date of submission. For example, if he has submitted the life certificate on 1st December, it will be valid till 30th November next year.
