Union Labour and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya launched a WhatsApp service for Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) subscribers, enabling them to check their PF balance, view their latest five transactions, and access passbook details. This service aims to make routine services accessible through a familiar mobile platform and reduce the need for subscribers to visit EPFO offices. Additionally, subscribers with Aadhaar-verified inoperative EPF accounts holding balances of up to Rs 1,000 will not need to file individual claims for their dues. EPFO will automatically initiate the settlement process after completing the required identity and bank account verification. Around one lakh accounts, involving approximately Rs 5 crore, are expected to benefit from this facility.
The launch coincided with the 74th Foundation Day celebration of the EPFO, where Mandaviya emphasized the importance of social security driven by human sensitivity and the need for worker-centric innovations. He highlighted the EPFO's role as a trusted institution for the country's workforce, with a corpus of Rs 32 lakh crore built through contributions from more than 8 crore members.
