New Delhi, June 26: A news article is making rounds claiming that the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has issued an urgent notice to all pensioners, warning them of a possible suspension of pension benefits if a new form is not submitted by July 28, 2025. The article states that this is part of a government push to streamline pension disbursements and keep records updated.

However, PIB Fact Check has labelled this claim as FAKE. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) confirmed that no such new EPFO form has been issued by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (@socialepfo). There is no official notification on the EPFO website or from any verified government channel supporting this claim. Did Indian Government Decide To Levy Toll Tax on 2-Weelers From July 15?
