  • Hi,

    In the case of the death of the PF Pensioner, the spouse can claim 50 percent of the pension. Please contact the PF Pension disbursing Branch with the Death Certificate of the Pensioner, a Copy of the Aadhaar of the Beneficiaries, Bank Account Details (Original Cancelled Cheque or Attested Copy of Bank Passbook) of the Beneficiaries, and Proof of Age - in the case of children.

  • Dear Srinivas,

    You cannot transfer the pension amount. For better understanding, please go through the information below.

    If a member of EPFO dies, then his or her spouse will be eligible for a widow's pension. The pension will be paid to financially support the widow until his/her death or remarriage. If there is more than one widow, then the amount will be payable to the eldest widow.

    In the case of the death of a member during the service period, the nominee or legal heir of an active member of EPFO receives a lump sum payment of up to Rs. 7 lakh.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The information provided is partially correct. Spouses can indeed receive pension benefits, but the process and eligibility criteria may vary based on specific circumstances. It's advisable to consult the EPFO and relevant laws for precise details.
