EPFO Growth, UPI Claim Delay, and PFRDA Launches New NPS Digital Tools
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has expanded its corpus to over ₹28 trillion and improved claim settlements, reaching a record 60.2 million in FY25. However, challenges remain, including rising pension payouts and investment yield concerns. The rollout of UPI-linked claim settlements has been delayed to August due to website glitches. Separately, the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) introduced two digital tools, PRIDE-DISHA and Pension Sahayak, to help National Pension System subscribers compare fund performance and manage complaints more effectively.
