The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is preparing to launch the E-PRAAPTI portal, which will assist members in tracking, linking, and activating old or inactive Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) accounts. Labour and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya announced that the portal will feature an Aadhaar-based authentication mechanism, allowing secure access to accounts that may not be linked to a Universal Account Number (UAN). This initiative is particularly beneficial for those who began their careers before the UAN system was established, helping them manage their retirement funds more effectively. An EPF account is considered inoperative if there have been no contributions for three years, and the new portal aims to streamline the process of updating member profiles and linking UANs. Members are encouraged to transfer funds from inoperative accounts to active ones to ensure continued interest accrual. The launch of E-PRAAPTI is expected to provide immediate benefits to a large segment of EPFO members.
