EPFO enables easy access to PF details with Passbook Lite in member portal
The members are currently expected to log in to the passbook portal of EPFO to check their Provident Fund contributions and transactions involving advances or withdrawals.
Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has unveiled a new facility called ‘Passbook Lite’ within its member portal (https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/). The feature is expected to enable members to easily check their passbook and related summarized view of the contributions, withdrawals, and balance in a simple and convenient format through the member portal itself without having to go to the passbook portal.

However, for a comprehensive view of passbook details, including graphical displays, members can continue to access the existing Passbook Portal as well.
This approach ensures greater ease of access for members while simultaneously enhancing the operational efficiency by reducing the load on the existing Passbook Portal and simplifying the architecture through integration of existing APIs within the member portal.
The reform consolidates all key services into a single login to enhance ease of access. The initiative is expected to reduce grievances, improve transparency, and enhance member satisfaction.

This multi-layered approval process often led to delays and longer processing times for members’ claims.
The reform will include PF transfers and settlements, advances and past accumulations, refunds, check/ECS/NEFT returns, and interest adjustments. This is expected to yield the following benefits for users:
● Faster claim settlements and reduced processing time,
● Simplified approval layers for smoother service delivery,
● Improved accountability at field office level, and
● Enhanced transparency and member satisfaction through quicker, seamless services.
