Overview of EPF Claim Status

Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) is a government-backed savings scheme intended to help employees cover their expenses once they retire. Checking your balance or tracking the status of your application is quite straightforward. You can do this through several methods — on the web, via the Umang app, or by SMS. The EPFO claim status is an up-to-date representation of the EPF transfer/withdrawal application status.
