Ease in pension withdrawal
Under EPFO, the PF fund is known as a retirement fund, from which PF holders get pension after retirement. EPFO is making important changes to make it easier for employees to withdraw pension funds. Now pensioners will be able to withdraw money without any additional banking verification.
