EPFO Portal Adds Online Services for Easier Fund Management
The EPFO portal is being updated to help workers manage their provident fund accounts online.
Members can activate or find their UAN and see information about their jobs and PF accounts.
They can also check passbooks, contributions and interest credits.
Some eligible workers can submit withdrawal requests online.
The portal allows members to update KYC details such as Aadhaar, PAN and bank information.
Workers can transfer PF savings when they change jobs.
They can also add nominees who may receive benefits if the member dies.
Before making a claim, members should check that their personal, employment and bank details are correct.
Keeping this information updated can help prevent avoidable delays.
The updated EPFO portal combines services such as UAN activation, account access, KYC updates and claims.
Members can retrieve UAN details, view passbooks and track contributions and transaction histories online.
Eligible members can apply digitally for final PF settlements and permitted advances for illness, education, marriage or housing.
Members should verify Aadhaar, bank, PAN, joining and exit details before submitting claims or transfer requests.
E-nomination and accurate family information can help reduce delays in future PF, pension and insurance claims.
