EPFO Introduces Automatic PF Transfers and Digital Upgrades to Simplify Member Services
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has introduced multiple digital upgrades under its EPFO 3.0 initiative, including automatic provident fund (PF) transfers for Aadhaar-linked Universal Account Number (UAN) holders after job changes. Members can now transfer PF balances via two online options or benefit from automatic transfers triggered by the new employer's first contribution. Additional changes include faster claim settlements, a unified digital interface, increased auto-settlement limits, and enhanced withdrawal options, aiming to simplify PF management and improve service efficiency amid ongoing system stabilization.
