The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has rolled out significant updates for provident fund subscribers, effective April 1, 2026. Notably, Forms 15G and 15H have been replaced by a unified Form 121, simplifying the process for claiming tax deductions on EPF withdrawals and interest income. This change is part of a broader compliance mechanism introduced under the Income Tax Act, 2025. Additionally, EPFO plans to launch the E-PRAAPTI portal, which will allow members to trace and reactivate inactive or dormant PF accounts using Aadhaar-based authentication. This initiative aims to enhance digital services and reduce manual processes. Furthermore, discussions are underway regarding a potential increase in the minimum pension under the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS-95) from the current ₹1,000. Labour unions are advocating for an increase to ₹7,500, citing the inadequacy of the current amount for basic living expenses. The proposal has garnered institutional support, with a parliamentary committee recommending an upward revision to bolster social security for retirees.
