EPFO auto claims: Union Minister for Labour and Employment Mansukh Mandaviya said on June 24 that the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation has increased the auto-claim settlement limit of the provident fund from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh.
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has announced a major relief for its over 7.5 crore members. Union Labour and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya had said on June 24, 2025 that EPFO has increased the auto-claim settlement limit of PF (Provident Fund) from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh. This move will prove to be a boon for those who need money urgently in emergencies.
This new rule of EPFO will make the method of withdrawing funds easier and faster. This auto-claim facility, which was started in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, earlier helped in withdrawing funds for illness. Now it has been further expanded. Now claims up to Rs 5 lakh can also be settled automatically for important works like education, marriage and house construction.
Features of EPFO Auto Claim
- Faster processing: 95 percent of claims are now settled within 3 days, which previously took 10 days.
- Withdraw through UPI and ATM: By May-June 2025, EPFO members will also be able to withdraw money through UPI and ATM.
- Less Rejection: The claim rejection rate has come down from 50% to 30%. This simply means that the chances of the claim being approved are now higher.
- Less hassle: If KYC is complete and Aadhaar, PAN card and bank details are linked, the claim will be processed without any documents.
How to take advantage?
Log in to your UAN portal, verify your KYC, and file a claim online. With just a few clicks, the money will be in your account. Your UAN should be linked to Aadhaar. If so, you won’t need the employer’s approval to update the bank details.
EPFO aims to settle all claims like pension, insurance and PF withdrawal within 72 hours. For this, new technologies like AI and machine learning are being used, which will further improve the experience of your fund holders.
