Getting the latest details just got easier as the retirement fund manager Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has launched a facility for viewing PF accounts online .
The internet facility was launched on September 6, 2013 by Labour Minister Sis Ram Ola in the presence of Minister of State for Labour and Employment Kodikunnil Suresh and EPFO's Central Provident Fund Commissioner K K Jalan, the Press Trust of India reported.
At the event, Jalan told PTI, "The facility would enable the EPFO to update accounts on real time basis. Now we would be able to provide annual account statement online by April or May at every year with all due interest credits."
The facility would also help in settling various claims well in time, Ola added.
At present, the 5 crores subscribers get their records only once a year since the EPFO is supposed to send annual provident funds account slips by September.
However, the process usually takes longer.
The EPFO is also planning to launch the facility of online transfer of PF accounts by October, for which the organization is already conducting live tests.
