class="text-base ">UAN and <a href="https://www.epfindia.gov.in/site_en/index.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">EPFO Portal</a> play a crucial role in providing convenient online access to EPF subscribers&#x27; accounts. EPFO provides all its subscribers with online access to their PF accounts, enabling them to perform various operations such as withdrawals and checking their EPF balance.</p><p class="text-base ">To streamline the process, <a href="/saving-schemes/epf.html" target="_blank">EPFO</a> assigns a unique 12-digit number called the Universal Account Number (UAN) to each member. The UAN remains the same even if an employee switches employers. The UAN simplifies access to the EPFO member portal. When an employee changes jobs, their member ID may change, but it is linked to the UAN. However, employees need to activate their UAN in order to utilize the online services provided by EPFO.</p><h2 class="text-lg font-bold pt-5">EPF Interest</h2><p class="text-base ">The EPF scheme offers a pre-fixed rate of interest of <strong>8.25%</strong> for the financial year <strong>2024-25</strong>. The interest earned on investments in a PF online account is tax-free. The interest is credited only to the operative PF accounts of employees who are yet to retire. However, the interest accrued on such accounts is taxable based on the employee member&#x27;s EPF tax slab.</p><p class="text-base ">It&#x27;s important to note that the share contributed towards the Employees&#x27; Pension Scheme does not earn interest. However, members are entitled to receive a pension from the accumulated sum after they reach the age of 58.</p><div data-inline-ad-position="HUNGRY_FOR_MORE"></div><h2 class="text-lg font-bold pt-5">EPF Calculation</h2><p class="text-base ">The EPF calculator is a tool used to estimate the amount that will be available in your EPF account upon retirement. It calculates the lump-sum amount, including your contributions, your employer&#x27;s contributions, and the accrued interest on investments.</p><p class="text-base ">The calculator requires inputs such as your current age, basic monthly pay, dearness allowance, EPF contribution, retirement age (up to 58 years), and, optionally, the current EPF balance.

Assuming an individual&#x27;s salary is Rs. 15,000 per month, with a 12% contribution directed towards the EPF account:</p><p class="text-base ">The contribution towards the EPF account would be 12% of Rs. 15,000, which is Rs. 1,800 per month.</p><p class="text-base ">Employers contribute 3.67% towards the EPF account, while 8.5% is contributed towards the EPS account.</p><p class="text-base ">The total contribution towards the EPF account would be Rs. 1,800 + Rs. 550 = Rs. 2,350.</p><p class="text-base ">The interest accrued in one month would be Rs. 2,350 x 0.69% = Rs. 16.2.</p><p class="text-base ">It&#x27;s important to note that the interest accrued in a given month is credited to the account at the end of the current financial year.</p><h2 class="text-lg font-bold pt-5">How to Transfer EPF Money</h2><p class="text-base "><strong>Step 1: </strong>When changing jobs, EPF money can be transferred using the same Universal Account Number (UAN).</p><p class="text-base "><strong>Step 2: </strong>Visit the official EPF member portal and complete the registration form.</p><p class="text-base "><strong>Step 3: </strong>Once you have received your login credentials, log in to the portal.</p><p class="text-base "><strong>Step 4: </strong>Access the Online Transfer Claim Portal and initiate an EPF transfer using the same login details.</p><p class="text-base "><strong>Step 5: </strong>If you meet the eligibility criteria for an online transfer claim, you can proceed without submitting Form 13.</p><p class="text-base "><strong>Step 6: </strong>Choose the option &#x27;<strong>Request for Transfer of Funds</strong>&#x27; and provide the required details of your previous employment as instructed.</p><p class="text-base "><strong>Step 7: </strong>Ensure that your previous or current employer authenticates the transfer request.</p><p class="text-base "><strong>Step 8: </strong>Upon submission, a PIN will be sent to your registered mobile number for verification.</p><p class="text-base "><strong>Step 9: </strong>Keep track of your application using the provided tracking ID.</p><h2 class="text-lg font-bold pt-5">EPF Withdrawal Rules</h2><p class="text-base "><strong>EPF allows individuals to make partial or complete withdrawals, but such withdrawals are subject to specific circumstances.</strong></p><h2 class="text-lg font-bold pt-5">Complete Withdrawal:</h2><ol class="list-disc list-outside ml-4 mr-4 "><li class="pt-1 pb-1"><strong>Retirement:</strong> Individuals can withdraw EPF completely upon retirement.</li><li class="pt-1 pb-1"><strong>Extended Unemployment:</strong> If the period of unemployment exceeds two months, complete withdrawal is allowed.</li><li class="pt-1 pb-1"><strong>Job Switching:</strong> Complete withdrawal is permitted when transitioning between professions or jobs, provided the duration without a job is more than two months.</li></ol><div class="text-center mt-4 mb-4"><a href="https://www.bankbazaar.com/credit-score.html?variant=slide&amp;WT.mc_id=CROSS_SELL_IL_SS_BUTTON_21273&amp;utm_source=bb&amp;utm_medium=seo&amp;utm_campaign=CROSS_SELL_IL_SS_BUTTON_21273" class="inline-flex items-center justify-center whitespace-nowrap rounded-md text-sm ring-offset-white transition-colors focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-slate-950 focus-visible:ring-offset-2 disabled:pointer-events-none disabled:opacity-50 dark:ring-offset-slate-950 dark:focus-visible:ring-slate-300 dark:bg-slate-50 dark:text-slate-900 dark:hover:bg-slate-50/90 px-4 py-2 minW-auto no-underline h-auto text-wrap font-medium focus-visible:ring-0 bg-destructive text-destructive-foreground hover:bg-destructive-300" title="Check FREE Credit Score">Check FREE Credit Score</a></div><h2 class="text-lg font-bold pt-5">Partial Withdrawal:</h2><ol class="list-disc list-outside ml-4 mr-4 "><li class="pt-1 pb-1"><strong>Wedding Expenses: </strong>Partial withdrawal is allowed for wedding-related expenses.</li><li class="pt-1 pb-1"><strong>Higher Education: </strong>EPF can be partially withdrawn for funding higher education.</li><li class="pt-1 pb-1"><strong>Land Purchase or House Construction: </strong>Partial withdrawal is permitted for purchasing land or constructing a house.</li><li class="pt-1 pb-1"><strong>Home Loan Repayment:</strong> EPF can be partially withdrawn for the repayment of a home loan.</li><li class="pt-1 pb-1"><strong>Housing Property Renovation: </strong>Partial withdrawal is allowed for renovating a housing property.</li></ol><h2 class="text-lg font-bold pt-5">EPF Taxation</h2><ol class="list-disc list-outside ml-4 mr-4 "><li class="pt-1 pb-1"><strong>EPF Withdrawals: </strong>If EPF is withdrawn before the completion of five years of employment, it is subject to taxation.

A significant observation from the data is the dominance of the 18-25 age group, constituting 56.4% of the total new members added in February. This trend suggests that a majority of those entering the organised workforce are young individuals, primarily first-time job seekers, as highlighted in an official statement. Additionally, the payroll data revealed that approximately 11.8 lakh members exited and subsequently rejoined EPFO, indicating job transitions among EPFO-covered employees.

to data released on 20 April 2024, the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) witnessed a notable surge of 15.5 lakh net members in February, with nearly 7.8 lakh being newcomers. A significant observation from the data is the dominance of the 18-25 age group, constituting 56.4% of the total new members added in February. This trend suggests that a majority of those entering the organised workforce are young individuals, primarily first-time job seekers, as highlighted in an official statement. Additionally, the payroll data revealed that approximately 11.8 lakh members exited and subsequently rejoined EPFO, indicating job transitions among EPFO-covered employees. Rather than opting for final settlements, these members transferred their accumulations, ensuring long-term financial stability and extending their social security protection.\u0026nbsp;"},"type":"paragraph"}],"title":"15.5 Lakh Net Members Added to EPFO in February "},{"updatedOn":"2024-04-18","article":[{"data":{"text":"In a circular issued on 16 April 2024, the Employees' Provident Funds Organisation (EPFO) announced an increase in the threshold for automatic claims processing under Paragraph 68J, raising it from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 1 lakh. Effective on 10 April 2024, this adjustment allows EPF subscribers to seek advances for medical expenses for themselves and their dependents under Paragraph 68-J of the EPF Scheme. Advances can be requested for situations like prolonged hospital stays or major surgeries without the need for additional documentation like proforma or medical certificates. Without the previously required medical certification, physically impaired members can also request advances under Paragraph 68-N.
