The EPFO had extended the date of submission of Aadhaar Number authentication by the members of Employees\u2019Pension Scheme 1995 upto 31st March 2017. \u00a0However, news item appearing in few dailies suggested that Aadhaar is not required in settlement of pension claims. Accordingly, the EPFO reiterated that the requirement of submitting Aadhaar is not insisted for the time being only in withdrawal benefit cases under Employees\u2019 Pension Scheme, 1995. Furnishing of Aadhaar is still mandatory for final settlement of pension and scheme certificate cases.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\">Ministry of Labour &amp;
