This feature significantly cuts down the traditional 7 to 20-day waiting period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Withdrawal Limits:<\/strong> Depending on the condition, subscribers can withdraw between 50% to 75% of their PF balance via UPI or ATMs. However, a strict rule mandates that at least 25% of the total contribution must stay untouched as a mandatory buffer for retirement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Increased Auto-Settlement and No Employer Verification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure members have faster access to their funds for housing, marriage, or medical treatments, the EPFO has hiked the auto-settlement limit from \u20b91 lakh to \u20b95 lakh.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the new framework heavily reduces the subscriber&#8217;s dependence on their employer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Faster PF Transfers:<\/strong> Job changes will no longer require the previous employer&#8217;s verification for transferring PF accounts. Aadhaar-based OTP authentication will be sufficient to safely process the transfer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Self-Correction:<\/strong> Using the revamped portal, employees can independently correct personal details like their name or date of birth. They can also complete their KYC through a self-attestation feature without employer approval.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Core Banking and Upgraded Tech Infrastructure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EPFO 3.0 will transition the organization to a Core Banking System, meaning members can avail of services at any EPFO office nationwide, similar to a traditional bank.<sup><\/sup> The new infrastructure includes a revamped website and a dedicated mobile app featuring Face Authentication Technology (FAT) via the UMANG platform for easier UAN activation and account management.<sup><\/sup> Additionally, the portal will integrate an AI-powered translation tool, Bhashini, to communicate with members in vernacular languages.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Note: The ATM and UPI withdrawal facilities apply strictly to the EPF corpus and will not affect the Employees&#8217; Pension Scheme (EPS) benefits, provided the member completes the mandatory 10 years of eligible service.<sup><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Employees&#8217; Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is undergoing a massive technological transformation with the impending rollout of EPFO 3.0.
