Dear Jayasuriyan Ramachandran,
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Claiming the EPS95 pension for a widow is a process that needs to be carefully followed. Here are the steps:
1. 🎵 Form 10-D: This is the primary form you'll need to fill out. You can get it from the EPFO office or download it from the EPFO website. Make sure to fill in the details accurately.
2. 🎲 Documentation: Along with the filled form 10-D, you need to provide supporting documents. These include:
- Death certificate of the pensioner.
- Joint photograph of the members of the family.
- Date of birth proof of the children.
3. 🔲 EPFO Office: Submit the form along with the supporting documents at the nearest EPFO Office.
4. 🎉 Notification: After scrutinizing the documents and form, the EPFO office will send a notification.
5. 🌀 Pension: Once everything is approved, the pension will be transferred to the bank account you have provided in the form.
6. 🌀 Continuation: The pension will continue as per EPS95 rules and regulations.
Please remember, each EPFO office may have slight variations in the required documents or the process, so it's always wise to check with them first.
I hope this guide helps you through the process. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
🌟 Best of luck with the process!
