In order to make life easy for its members, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) launched an online portal called ‘EPFO E-Sewa’ in April 2012. The portal provides easy access to EPF requests and all the other services linked with EPF.

It also helps employees to claim for their provident fund, check the status of the claim that was processed, and update the information related to KYC. But, a member can avail of those benefits only if he/she has registered on the portal.
