EPFO Launches E-PRAAPTI Digital Platform

E-PRAAPTI Initiative by EPFO

• Overview: The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is launching E-PRAAPTI (EPF Aadhaar-Based Access Portal for Tracking Inoperative Accounts).

• Purpose:

  • To facilitate the identification and tracking of inoperative EPF accounts.
  • To allow users to link their Unique Account Number (UAN) with old EPF accounts and activate them.

• Features:

  • Aadhaar-Based Authentication: The portal will employ an Aadhaar-based authentication mechanism for secure access.
  • Profile Updates: Members can update their member profiles and link their accounts seamlessly.

• Significance:

  • Aims to streamline the process of accessing and managing employees' provident funds.
  • Enhances the security and effectiveness of managing old EPF accounts, especially those lacking UAN linkage.

This initiative aligns with the government's push towards digitizing services and ensuring easier access to employee benefits.
