Those with a UAN number linked to Aadhaar can correct their name or other details online without going to the EPFO office. Currently, 96% of changes are completed without EPFO office intervention. PF transfer made easier If you have a UAN linked to Aadhaar, it is now easier to transfer old PF when joining a new company. Previously, the permission of the company management was required. But now almost 90% of transfers are completed without the permission of the management.

While claiming, a cheque leaf or bank passbook copy had to be provided earlier for account verification. Now, those who have updated KYC can claim without this process. Guidelines on ineligible claims EPFO members can know in advance whether their claim is eligible before making a claim. This will reduce the number of rejected claims.

So far, 7.14 crore claims have been filed online in the 2024-25 financial year. From now on, there is no need to go to the field office.
