FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Delhi, India (March 08, 2015) - With online helpdesk launched by the Employees Provident Fund Organization, EPFO, for tracking EPF accounts, things have now become easy for account holders to track their inoperative EPF account and to know the balance or to stake a claim. This helpdesk is always accessible online and with EPF India improving upon its turnaround time, account holders are finding it easy to get all information related to their EPF accounts, which otherwise until few years ago were practically forgotten, leaving large numbers of accounts inoperative and a whooping Rs. 27,000 crore lying as balance in these accounts. This help desk operates with some basic information on employer and account holder to track the account details instantly.

Instead of leaving your EPF account idle, here is a way to keep your account updated with interest that is both tax free and risk free and returns accrued after adjustment of inflation. Keeping your money in the account helps you to earn more on interest rather than claiming for the entire amount, and to keep abreast of everything related to the account, this help desk is proving to be an invaluable one. Logging onto http://epf-india.co.in/epf-balance/ you will be able to know how to track your old EPF Accounts by providing information which should be as accurate as possible. This Provident Fund India help desk will ask for details like EPF Account Number, Employer’s name, city, date of joining and name of the regional provident office, after which they will provide you with all details of your account including the updated balance. Filling up as many mandatory fields as possible will make things easier to track down your account. This link is set to transform the whole scenario of EPF accounts lying inoperative to become active and thereby helping account holders to stake their legitimate claims.
