EPF officers' body flags issues affecting EPFO

Even as the EPFO has launched the EPF 2026 scheme and aims at faster processing of claims digitally, the EPF Officers' Association in a letter to the Minister of Labour & Employment, has highlighted that lakhs of auto EPF claims remain pending in the system for more than 20 days without any explanation to field offices or members.


In the letter dated August 3, 2026, which is also marked to the chairman of the Central Board of Trustees (CBT), EPF, the officers’ body has underlined many key policy-level issues affecting the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO).
