EPFO WhatsApp channel join guide: How to follow it and what PF members get | Mint
EPFO has started an official WhatsApp channel to share provident fund and pension updates. It helps subscribers and pensioners who don't often check the website or social media. Follow it via WhatsApp's Updates section, Channels, then search for the verified EPFO account. Remember, it only shares news. To check your UAN account or use PF services, you still need the EPFO portal or UMANG app.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has launched an official WhatsApp channel for sharing provident fund, pension and scheme-related updates.
- Members can follow the channel through WhatsApp's Updates section by selecting Channels and searching for the verified EPFO account, with no UAN, password or bank details required.
- The channel only broadcasts information, so members must still use the EPFO member portal or UMANG app to access their UAN account and other online PF services.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Search WhatsApp Channels for the verified EPFO account and tap Follow to receive updates, but continue using the EPFO portal or UMANG app for anything to do with your own PF account.
