Government Enables Online Claims for Unclaimed Insurance and Inoperative EPF Funds
The Indian government is facilitating claims for unclaimed insurance amounts and inoperative Employees Provident Fund (EPF) accounts through the 'Your Money -- Your Right' campaign. As of March 31, 2026, Rs 9,330.56 crore remains in inoperative EPF accounts, which are those without contributions for three years post-retirement. The government is conducting outreach via social media and camps to raise awareness. LIC transfers unclaimed insurance funds older than 10 years to the Senior Citizen Welfare Fund, following IRDAI guidelines. Policyholders and EPF members can check and claim dues online.
