EPFO has made many big changes for its shareholders. This has made the process of withdrawing money from PF to transfer easier and faster. Pensioners have also got great relief.
The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has made many big changes this year for its shareholders. With the changes made by EPFO, more than 7 crore active members will get many facilities. 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 2025.
1. Profile updating 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 information like your name, date of birth, gender, nationality, parents’ name, marital status, spouse’s name and date of starting the job online without any document.
2. PF transfer has become easier now
Earlier, while changing jobs, transferring PF 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 very 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. Making joint declaration became 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 started
EPFO has started the Centralized Pension Payment System (CPPS). Under this, now the pension will be sent directly to any bank account through the 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
EPFO has now clarified the entire process for those employees who want to take pension on their higher salary. Now a uniform method will be adopted for all. 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.
