The new EPFO ​​rule will help EPF members to get more interest amount at the time of EPF claim settlement and faster claim settlement. According to the news of Economic Times, during the meeting of the Central Board of Trustees (CBT), the CBT approved an important amendment in paragraph 60 (2) (B) of the EPF Scheme, 1952.

What is the provision now and what will change

As per the existing provisions, for claims settled by the 24th of the month, interest is paid only till the end of the previous month. Now, interest will be paid to the member till the date of settlement. This will provide financial benefits to the members and reduce complaints. According to the news, till now, if the settlement was not done by the 24th of the month, there was further delay in settlement of the claim. After this decision, now these claims will be processed throughout the month, which will reduce pending cases, timely settlement and optimal utilization of resources. This reflects EPFO’s commitment to efficient, transparent and member-centric service delivery.

What is the new rule on PF claim settlement?

According to the news, after the new provision, interest on EPF balance will be available till the date of settlement of EPF claim. Experts say that under the earlier rule, if a claim was settled by the 24th of the month, interest was paid only till the end of the previous month, due to which members lost interest for the days between the beginning of the current month and the date of settlement. Now after the new amendment, interest will be available till the actual settlement date.

When will the new EPF claim settlement rule be implemented?

Experts say that it is worth noting that the official notification for amendment in paragraph 60(2)(B) has not been issued yet. The new rules for EPF claim settlement will come into effect only after the notification is issued by the government. That is, till then the existing/old rules for EPF interest payment will remain applicable.

Face Verification Rules

-Now EPFO ​​subscribers can avail Universal Account Number (UAN) and related services through face verification. Recently, Union Labor Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has launched upgraded digital services for allocating and activating UAN of Provident Fund through face verification.

Now employees can directly generate their UAN using Aadhaar Face Verification Technology (FAT) with the help of ‘Umang’ mobile app. Any employer can use Umang app to generate UAN using Aadhaar FAT for any new employee. Members who already have UAN but have not activated it yet can now easily activate their UAN through Umang app.

No need to upload picture of cheque

– EPFO ​​has also made changes in online claims of PF. Interested applicants do not need to upload the picture of cancelled cheque and their bank accounts do not need to be verified by employers. Currently, EPFO ​​members have to upload the verified photo copy of cheque or passbook of bank account linked to UAN or PF number while applying for online withdrawal of funds from PF accounts.

– Similarly, employers are also required to approve the applicant’s bank account details. Now approval is not required even in case of employers. These two requirements have been abolished to ensure ‘ease of living’ for EPF members and ‘ease of doing business’ for employers.

Financial Express report says that once registered, customers can easily receive the claim amount through digital wallet. This will reduce the processing time and provide a better experience to the users.

The Ministry of Labor is upgrading the digital system of EPFO ​​in collaboration with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and commercial banks. This step will simplify the withdrawal process, reduce delays, reduce paperwork and increase transparency.

So many claims settled so far

This exemption has been given to some categories of employees in the requirement of linking Universal Account Number (UAN) with Aadhaar. This step will make it easier to claim for those employees for whom it is difficult to get Aadhaar or in other words, they cannot get documents like Aadhaar.

Which employees will get exemption?

International employees registered under the Employees Provident Fund Organization are exempted under this. Also, those employees who went to their country after working in India and could not get Aadhaar. Apart from this, Indians with foreign citizenship, who could not get Aadhaar, former Indian citizens who have gone abroad permanently and citizens of Nepal and Bhutan are also exempted under this.

Alternative options other than Aadhaar

Aadhaar is not mandatory for those employees covered under the EPF&MP Act who live outside India and do not have Aadhaar. With the implementation of this change, those employees can also claim under EPFO. A separate option will be kept for them.

You can also make a claim under these documents

For these categories of employees, EPFO ​​has allowed settlement of PF claim through other documents. This includes verification documents – passport, citizenship certificate or other official ID proof. Verification will be done through PAN, bank account details and other eligibility criteria. For claims above ₹ 5 lakh, the authenticity of the member will be verified from the employer.

What is the rule for claim?

The rule made by EPFO ​​states that any claim should be carefully examined by the officials. After this, approval is necessary through the e-office file through the Approval Officer-in-Charge (OIC). At the same time, employees are advised to maintain the same UAN number or transfer the previous service record to the same UAN number. This makes it easier to get the claim.
