EPFO Latest Update: Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has made it mandatory for all account holders to do e-nomination. If the account holders do not do this, then in any case, if there is any untoward incident with the account holder, there are big problems in claiming the deposit amount.
Many employees across the country deposit some part of their salary in their PF account as provident fund. This amount is very useful in retirement and sometimes in unwanted situations. The amount deposited by the employees in their PF account, the same amount is deposited in the account by the employer organization.
How to check your passbook balance?
Many employees working in the private sector keep changing their organization from time to time, so their PF account number also keeps changing. In such a situation, they can see the total amount deposited in their PF account by logging in through UAN number. You can easily access the passbook of your PF account by logging in with the UAN number.
E-nomination made mandatory
If you want to access your passbook by visiting the EPFO website, then you have to do e-nomination first. A pop-up window for e-nomination appears on the website as soon as you open the passbook page.
In this, if you do not file e-nomination, then this pop up window does not proceed beyond the website page. Hence, it is now mandatory for the account holders to do e-nomination, otherwise they will not be able to access their passbook account.
