The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has launched WhatsApp-based services to make provident fund-related information easily accessible to its members. Through this initiative, more than 80 million subscribers can check their PF balance, access passbook details and view their latest five transactions. The service also provides support for completing PMVBRY requirements. This digital initiative was announced by Union Labour and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya during EPFO's 74th Foundation Day celebration on November 1, 2026. It aims to improve convenience, accessibility and efficiency in delivering provident fund services to employees.
