 "EPFO extends deadline for submitting Aadhaar to April 30")
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) had set March 31, 2017 as the deadline for submitting Aadhaar number earlier.
EPFO has also extended the deadline for submitting digital life certificates for its over 5 million pensioners till April 30 to link pension accounts with Aadhaar.
“We have extended the deadline for submission of Aadhaar by subscribers to April 30, 2017. Besides, pensioners can also submit their life certificates till April 30,” EPFO’s Central Provident Fund Commissioner V P Joy said.
The EPFO had extended the deadline several times in the past. It has also done away with the system of accepting life certificate manually through banks.
Pensioners are required to provide life certificates digitally either through their mobile phones or at common service centres or bank branches providing such facility. The latest EPFO order provides that if a pensioner is not able to submit the life certificate in digital format, then the same can be submitted in physical form with valid reasons for not submitting it digitally.
It also says that a pensioner would cease to receive payments from May if life certificate is not submitted by April 30, 2017.
