Retirement fund manager EPFO will launch an online facility on Friday where over 5 crore subscribers can view their updated accounts.
'We will launch the facility on Friday where subscribers can track their accounts online on a real-time basis and check their updated accounts,' EPFO's Central Provident Fund commissioner K K Jalan said.
At present, subscribers get account statements once a year. The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has to dispatch annual PF account slips by September. The PF slips for 2012-13 are supposed to be provided by 30 September, 2013. Sometimes, it takes longer to receive the statements because the EPFO hands them over to employers for distribution to workers.
The new facility will enable subscribers to see their updated accounts and take printouts for their records.Jalan said Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation members would be able to see their account balances, including credited interest, as of 31 March.
For the period starting in April, they would be able to see the amounts credited to their accounts every month without the interest component because the rate of return on PF deposits for this fiscal has not been announced, he added.
Jalan also said the EPFO will issue annual PF account slips on demand.The facility will be launched by Labour Minister Sis Ram Ola on Friday morning at the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation headquarters in the capital.
All members, including those with inoperative accounts, will benefit from online access, Jalan said. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation makes accounts inoperative when a contribution is not made for 36 months in a row.
