A lot of employees switch jobs many times throughout their careers, which often leads them to losing track of their old Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) accounts. To access these funds, they need to transfer the PF amount from their old account to their new EPF account. Many EPF subscribers have encountered issues when trying to transfer these amounts, especially if they have multiple Universal Account Numbers (UANs).
To help solve this problem for EPF subscribers, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has launched a new e-portal. This platform assists members in locating their old, inoperative EPF accounts and transferring the accumulated balance to their current UAN or settling it. This information was shared by the Labour Ministry in a written response in Lok Sabha on July 27, 2026.
