Simplified COC Form for Indian Workers Abroad: What Does This Mean for You?

As per the recent EPFO circular dated 30th June 2017, the EPFO has declared that the different application forms for the Certificate of Coverage (COC) in respect of an Indian worker (having an Indian passport) going to work in a country with which India has a Social Security Agreement (SSA) have been revised into a single form, keeping in view the COC application software being developed.

The recent circular by EPFO regarding the revision of the application forms for the Certificate of Coverage (COC) for Indian workers going to countries with Social Security Agreements (SSA) is a significant update. To address this change effectively, follow these steps:

Steps to Obtain the Revised COC Form:

📝 Visit the EPFO website or the nearest EPFO office to access the revised COC form.
📝 Ensure you have all necessary documents such as the Indian worker's passport details and employment information.
📝 Fill out the revised COC form accurately with the updated information as per the new requirements.
📝 Submit the completed form along with the supporting documents to the EPFO office for processing.
📝 Keep track of the application status through the EPFO portal or by contacting the EPFO office directly.

By following these steps diligently, Indian workers can smoothly transition to countries with SSAs while complying with the updated regulations set forth by EPFO.
