The pensioners of employees’ pension scheme (EPS) are provided with a unique number or a code that helps them to get a pension after retirement. Such a number is called Pension Payment Order (PPO) and is allotted by the EPFO to every employee who retires
from any organisation. After retirement, The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) sends a letter to every retiring employee carrying details of PPO, provident fund and disbursement of pension. At any point in time, if you have forgotten PPO number or want to find PPO, you can get it easily from your bank account number or using your Member ID.
