The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) on Wednesday said account details would be available online from July 1.
“You can watch the account balance of
your PF online from July 1,” Assistant PF Commissioner Kanchan Roy said
at an interactive session at Bengal National Chamber of Commerce and
Industry.
“This indeed would be a great help to about 5 crore PF subscribers in India,” he said.
EPFO plans to replace PF account number
with unique identification number, a move which will help in speedy
transfer of a subscribers’ funds in case of job change and allow them
to track their accounts online.
The replacement of PF account number
with the UID number will be done after inter-connecting all regional
and sub offices of the EPFO by March, 2012.
