EPFO Rules Changes in 2025: The Employees Provident Fund Organization has been continuously changing its rules for the last few years. In this sequence, five major changes have also been made in 2025, which will provide great relief to the members.
The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has made many important changes in the year 2025 for the convenience of its nearly 7 crore members. These include PF account transfer process, profile update and pension related rules. The purpose of all these changes is to bring transparency in the process and improve the experience of the members. Let us know in detail the major changes made this year.
No approval required for PF account transfer
EPFO has recently amended the rules for PF account transfer. The fund body has done away with the requirement of approval from old employer and current employer for account transfer for employees who change jobs. However, to avail this facility, your account must be issued after October 2017 and UAN must be linked to Aadhaar. Also, if two different UANs are linked to Aadhaar and personal details like your name, date of birth, gender are same on both, then your account will be transferred easily.
You can update your profile online
At the same time, the Employees Provident Fund Organization has also made the process of updating the profile easier. In such a situation, employees will not have to run around offices. Actually, if your UAN is linked to Aadhaar, then you can make changes in the date of birth, gender, parents’ name, marital status, wife/husband’s name and date of starting or ending the job online.
You will be able to submit joint declaration from home
Apart from this, EPFO has abolished the old rule of joint declaration and divided the members into three categories. First, those whose members’ UAN is linked to Aadhaar can make the declaration online. Second, those whose UAN is old but Aadhaar is verified will also get this facility and third, those whose Aadhaar is not verified will have to go to the EPFO office and submit the joint declaration.
Transfer PF money to any bank account
At the same time, the fund body has also made important changes regarding pension payment. From January 1, 2025, the organization has started the facility of Centralized Pension Payment System (CPPS) for pension payment. In such a situation, members can transfer pension money directly to their selected bank account through any platform of National Payment Corporation of India. This move of EPFO has eliminated the need for Pension Payment Order (PPO) transfer between regional offices.
Changes in pension policies
Along with this, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization has clarified the rules for those members who receive or want to receive more pension. Based on the suggestions received from different regional offices, the EPFO will now calculate pension for all pensioners on the same pattern. Apart from this, the process of recovery of outstanding amount and payment of outstanding amount will be different.
