The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has made many big changes for its subscribers this year. The changes made by EPFO will provide many facilities to more than 7 crore active members. Not only this, it is also preparing to make many big changes in the coming days. Let us know about the five most important changes of EPFO in 2025.
1. Updating profile has become very easy
EPFO has now made the process of updating the profile very simple. If your Universal Account Number (UAN) is linked to Aadhaar, then now you can update your name, date of birth, gender, nationality, parents’ name, marital status, spouse’s name and date of starting the job online without any documents.
2. PF transfer is now easier
Earlier, transferring PF while changing jobs was a long and sometimes troublesome process. Work could not be done without the approval of the company. But now this process has been made quite easy. Now in most cases, approval of the old or new employer is not required for PF transfer. This makes the PF money transferred to the new account quickly and easily.
3. Joint declaration made easy
EPFO has made the joint declaration process digital. If your UAN is linked to Aadhaar or Aadhaar is already verified then you can submit the joint declaration online.
4. CPPS system introduced
EPFO has started the Centralized Pension Payment System (CPPS). Under this, now pension will be sent directly to any bank account through NPCI platform. Earlier, for pension payment, PPO (Pension Payment Order) had to be transferred from one regional office to another, which caused delay.
5. The process of pension on salary became clear
For those employees who want to take pension on their higher salary, EPFO has now clarified the entire process. Now a uniform method will be adopted for everyone. If an employee’s salary is more than the prescribed limit and he wants pension on it, then he can get this facility by paying additional contribution.
