EPFO 3.0 Benefits:
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) is getting ready to launch its new digital platform called EPFO 3.0. This upgrade is aimed at making PF services more transparent, efficient, and easy to access for all members. Initially planned for June this year, the launch got delayed due to technical issues. Now, IT giants like Infosys, Wipro, and TCS are working on the development of this platform.
EPFO 3.0 will come with advanced features and a user-friendly dashboard. Members can easily track their PF contributions, claims, and balance without any confusion. Here are five major benefits of this new platform:
1. Withdraw PF money from ATMs
With EPFO 3.0, members can withdraw PF money directly from ATMs. They need to link Aadhaar with their bank account and activate their Universal Account Number (UAN) to use this feature.
2. Instant withdrawals through UPI
In case of an emergency, members can withdraw money instantly using UPI. This makes the process quick and convenient.
3. Online claim and correction facility
Updating personal details and filing claims will become easier with OTP verification. Employees no longer need to visit EPFO offices for these services.
4. Easy settlement of death claims
The new system removes the need for guardianship certificates in the case of minors. This makes death claim settlements faster and simpler for families.
5. Better digital interface
EPFO 3.0 will have a more modern and interactive dashboard. Members can track contributions, claims, and balances at any time without hassles.
This upgraded platform is expected to make the PF system more reliable and accessible for millions of employees across India. With features like ATM withdrawals and UPI access, EPFO is moving towards a fully digital and user-friendly experience.
