EPFO (Employees' Provident Fund Organisation)
✓ Last verified 14 Sep 2026
The short version
EPFO is the government body that administers EPF, EPS (pension), and related schemes - the organization behind the UAN system, online withdrawal claims, and passbook access.
EPFO oversees employer compliance, manages the underlying EPF/EPS scheme rules, and provides the online portal individual members use to check their passbook, submit withdrawal or transfer claims, and update KYC. Most day-to-day EPF interactions an employee has - checking balance, filing a withdrawal request, resolving a UAN issue - happen through EPFO's systems, even though contributions themselves are handled via the employer.
