Come July 1st, 2011 and Provident Fund account details would be available online as per the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). This would be of immense help to all the PF subscribers in India. Tracking of Provident fund is very difficult at this moment because of the manual slips and too runs 1 year backlog.
EPFO plans to replace PF account number with unique identification number, a move which will help in speedy transfer of subscriber’s funds in case of a 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.
