EPFO's WhatsApp Services: Three Things To Check In Your Account Today

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has introduced a verified WhatsApp service to make its retirement fund services more accessible to subscribers. Union Labour and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya launched the initiative during the organisation's 74th Foundation Day celebrations.

The service is intended to simplify access to essential provident fund information by allowing members to use WhatsApp instead of visiting regional EPFO offices for routine queries. The move forms part of efforts to improve digital access and make public services more convenient for citizens.
