The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has officially launched a service on WhatsApp, permitting its subscribers to check their Provident Fund (PF) balance, view passbook details and the last five transactions, eliminating the need to visit the EPFO office.

Yesterday, on October 01, 2026, it was EPFO's 74th Foundation Day. On the occasion of the same, Union Labour and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya launched this service.

According to a statement given by the Labour Ministry, the newly introduced platform on WhatsApp will reduce the need to visit the EPFO office for minor queries and services.

Along with this, the service will offer personalised guidance and assistance to members in completing requirements relating to the Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana (PMVBRY).

According to the Ministry of Labour, about one lakh accounts involving Rs 5 crore are likely to benefit from this initiative. Subscribers with Aadhaar-verified EPF accounts having balances of up to Rs 1,000 will no longer need to file individual claims to withdraw their dues.
