The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has launched a new feature that makes it easier than ever for members to track their PF details. From checking balance to viewing transfer status, employees will now have quick access to all essential information, including monthly contributions, without the usual hassle.
If you are a private sector employee registered under EPF, this update is for you. EPFO has rolled out the “Passbook Lite” feature, allowing members to view their complete PF account details with just one click—without logging in separately. Now, users can directly access account details through the EPFO member portal.
Earlier Login Not Required
Until now, checking PF balance or transaction history required logging into a separate passbook portal. With the new Passbook Lite feature, that inconvenience is gone. Even if SMS updates are delayed, members can still instantly check how much money has been deposited in their PF account through this feature.
What Is Passbook Lite?
Through Passbook Lite, employees can directly view their contribution, withdrawals, and overall balance on the member portal itself. Announcing the service at an event, Union Labour and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said that the upgrade will not only improve user convenience but also reduce the load on the existing passbook portal.
Benefits of Passbook Lite
- All details in one place – No need to check multiple sources.
- Quick access – Employees can take a screenshot and keep all PF details handy.
- Time-saving – Faster searches reduce waiting time.
- No passwords required – Removes the hassle of remembering login credentials.
Faster PF Transfers
PF transfers are also set to become quicker. Earlier, the process required the old PF office to prepare an Annexure K certificate and send it to the new office to complete fund transfers. Now, employees can directly download Annexure K in PDF format from the member portal, making the transfer process both faster and more transparent.
Track Fund Transfer Status Online
With this upgrade, members can also track their PF transfer status online. This allows employees to confirm whether funds from the old account have been successfully transferred to the new one. They can also verify if their new PF account reflects the updated balance and service history correctly.
