Transformative EPFO Reforms Enhance Registration and Coverage

The Ministry of Labour and Employment has spearheaded a series of reforms in the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) aimed at simplifying registration and extending regional coverage. Key developments include common registration through the Shram Suvidha portal, auto-registration via the Ministry of Corporate Affairs' platform, and the implementation of the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. Innovations like self-generation of Universal Account Numbers (UANs) and UAN generation using Aadhaar Face Authentication Technology have increased contributor numbers significantly. Additionally, the introduction of Project EPFO 3.0, a digital transformation initiative, has revolutionized service delivery, boosting efficiency and member satisfaction.
