However, the EPFO received several representations from various quarters seeking an extension of the deadline.

The extension of the deadline will enable all eligible pensioners and members to file their applications without any difficulty. The EPFO has taken into consideration the demands received from employees, employers, and their associations and has sympathetically decided to extend the timeline.
The EPFO has urged all pensioners and members to take advantage of this extended deadline and file their applications for the validation of option/joint option before June 26, 2023. This move is expected to ease out any difficulties faced by the pensioners and members in filing their applications.
