EPF New Rules: EPFO ​​​​subscribers get relief

Why did EPFO ​​​​take this decision?

EPFO ​​said that this will speed up online claim settlement. Along with this, subscribers will also find it easier to give claim requests. Earlier many EPFO ​​​​claims were getting rejected for not uploading a copy of the checkbook leaf or bank passbook.

According to the circular of EPFO, this decision has been taken to reduce the number of claim rejections. The concession of not uploading a copy of the checkbook leaf or bank passbook has been given only in some cases.

These documents will not have to be given for these claims
