An EPS (Employee Pension Scheme) Scheme Certificate is a document issued by the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to those employees who want to transfer their pension amount to a new account after changing their jobs. The certificate contains details such as the members service history, family details, nominees, etc. and serves as an authentic record of service.

It is not clear from the search results how the EPFO shares the scheme certificate with the employee. However, it is advisable to contact the EPFO directly for more information on the expected timeline to receive the certificate and the mode of delivery. If an employee has lost their pension scheme certificate, they can request a duplicate by writing a letter or affidavit attested by a first-class magistrate or executive magistrate.
