Share this article:
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is preparing to roll out EPFO 3.0 , a major update designed to make provident fund withdrawals, transfers, and account access much simpler and faster for salaried employees across India. One of the biggest changes will allow members to withdraw up to ₹1 lakh directly through UPI apps or bank ATMs, without going through lengthy online procedures.
Immediate PF Withdrawals via ATM and UPI
Until now, withdrawing money from your PF account required filling in forms online, followed by days of waiting for funds to be credited. With EPFO 3.0, members will be able to withdraw up to ₹1 lakh instantly using bank ATMs or UPI apps on their mobiles. This marks a huge step towards making provident fund access quick and convenient.
Other Key Features of EPFO 3.0
1. Automatic PF Transfer
Currently, employees need to apply for PF transfer when changing jobs. Under EPFO 3.0, this process will be automatic. Once you join a new employer, your PF account will be linked seamlessly without any manual request.
2. Real-Time PF Balance Updates
Employees often face delays in seeing accurate PF balances. With the new system, PF balances will update in real time—similar to a savings account ensuring greater transparency and clarity.
3. Improved Mobile App and Portal
The EPFO’s mobile application and website will be revamped to be more user-friendly, offering better access to claim status, balance checks, and related services.
4. Simplified Digital Verification
KYC and Aadhaar-related issues have long troubled employees. EPFO 3.0 will simplify digital verification, expanding the scope of online services and reducing verification delays.
5. Enhanced Pension Services
The pension-related services under EPFO will also go digital, making them faster, transparent, and easily accessible for pensioners.
Why EPFO 3.0 Matters
With crores of members across India, the EPFO has faced repeated complaints about slow processes, delayed withdrawals, and KYC issues. EPFO 3.0 aims to eliminate these challenges, giving employees immediate access to their savings, ensuring faster claim settlements, and making the system more transparent.
EPFO 3.0 is set to be a game-changer for salaried employees. With the option of PF withdrawals up to ₹1 lakh through UPI and ATMs, alongside automatic transfers, real-time updates, and simplified verification, the provident fund system will become faster, smoother, and more reliable than ever before.
