EPFO update 2026: EPFO to launch new mobile app enabling UPI-based PF withdrawals, here’s how it will work

Employees Provident Fund Organisation is gearing up to roll out a new withdrawal facility. Through this, the EPFO will be enabling subscribers to withdraw their provident fund in real time using UPI. According to a CNBC-TV18 report, government sources said this functionality is being worked upon for an imminent release.

Additionally, the labour ministry is working on a system through which people can withdraw upto 75 per cent of the available EPF balance instantly through UPI. This service will be rolled out for use through a new mobile application as well as a dedicated window on the EPFO portal. The tentative timeline for the launch of this application is said to be April.
