EPFO Form-  There is a major update for EPFO members. Has the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) released a new form for pensioners? There are reports circulating that a new notice has been issued to all pensioners. In which it is said that if they do not submit a new EPFO ​​form by July 28, 2025, their pension may be stopped.

The fact check unit of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) has clarified that EPFO ​​has not issued any such notice. These reports are completely false and misleading. Do not believe the news of pension being stopped and the need for a new form.

PIB Fact Check: EPFO ​​has not issued any new form

According to PIB fact-check, EPFO ​​has neither issued any new form nor given any such instruction which says that pension will be stopped if the form is not filled. PIB Fact-Check has posted on X (formerly Twitter) that there are reports that the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization has issued an emergency notice to all pensioners stating that if they do not submit the new pension form by July 28, 2025, their pension will be stopped. This is completely a rumor, this claim is fake.

PIB Fact-Check has urged subscribers not to believe such misinformation. Get any information related to EPFO ​​only through their official website or verified social media handles.

EPFO increases PF auto withdrawal limit

Auto-settlement in 3 days

Under the new auto-settlement system, members can now get their advance withdrawal claims processed automatically within 3 days. Earlier this facility was only for claims up to Rs 1 lakh. This reform will benefit millions of customers and ensure faster access to funds at the time of need.
