EPFO to Launch E-PRAAPTI Portal by August to Help Claim Inactive PF Accounts
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) plans to launch E-PRAAPTI, a digital portal expected by the end of August, to help members trace and claim funds from old or inactive provident fund accounts. The Aadhaar-based platform aims to simplify account tracking, reduce paperwork, and speed up claims by linking accounts to Universal Account Numbers (UAN). Over 30.91 lakh inoperative accounts holding nearly Rs 9,330 crore remain unclaimed, with accounts becoming inactive after three years without contributions.
