The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (“EPFO”) has launched an online system for surrender of exemption and the transfer of members’ past accumulations. The system is accessible through the Employer’s Login on the Unified Portal and is designed to facilitate the online filing of applications and submission of necessary documents by employers from exempted establishments. The submissions will be processed by the Regional Offices. This system adheres to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the Surrender of Exemption.
Key Highlights:
- Online Submission: Transition from physical to online submission of applications and documents;
- Automated Validation: Initial validation of applications to ensure completeness;
- Real-time Status Tracking: Track application progress online using a tracking ID;
- Past Accumulation Upload: Upload member-wise past accumulation data for fund transfer;
- Streamlined Fund Transfer: Efficient transfer of funds and government securities to EPF accounts.
