EPFO to launch E-PRAAPTI portal to track inoperative accounts
The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) will launch E-PRAAPTI, an Aadhaar-based portal to identify and track old EPF accounts, link UANs, and activate accounts. The platform aims to facilitate secure Aadhaar authentication for accessing accounts without a linked UAN and updating member profiles.
Why It Matters
This portal could simplify reactivating dormant EPF accounts and ensure correct UAN linkage, improving worker access to savings.
