UPI-linked PF claim settlement facility rollout delayed: Expected launch timeline and key benefits for EPFO members

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has delayed the rollout of its Unified Payments Interface (UPI)-linked claim settlement facility as it works to resolve technical issues with its upgraded digital platform, according to a Business Standard report published on 26 July.

The facility, which was earlier expected to be launched by the end of FY26 (March 2026), is now likely to be introduced in August.
