Why has my pension suddenly stopped being credited?

The most common reasons in India are:

• A lapsed annual Life Certificate (Jeevan Pramaan), which automatically pauses payments
• A bank account or KYC problem — a dormant account, expired KYC, or a freeze
• A PPO (Pension Payment Order) mismatch between the sanctioning office and the bank

Start by visiting your pension-disbursing branch with your PPO number to find out which one applies.
