EPFO Launches Aadhaar-Based Portal to Trace and Transfer Old PF Accounts
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has launched a new Aadhaar-based e-portal to help members trace and manage old or inoperative EPF accounts. This digital platform enables users to securely authenticate, identify, and transfer funds from multiple old accounts to their active Universal Account Number (UAN) or settle them online. The initiative addresses challenges faced by employees who change jobs frequently and accumulate multiple PF accounts, simplifying fund consolidation and settlement.
