Digital Desk: The Employees' Provident Fund is the World's largest social security agency. It has a staggering 24.77 crore accounts. The EPFO was established on November 15, 1951.
There are 138 offices for EPFO all around the nation. The Ministry of Labour and Employment oversees the department's operations. Each employee who receives a salary pays the EPF corpus a portion of that salary. Additionally, their employers put money into the employee's accounts in a specific amount. After the employee retires, this corpus is paid out to her.
Every PF account holder receives a UAN or unique account number. This serves as a person's identification under the provident fund programme. A person can call this number to check the status of his or her provident fund and even withdraw money in case of an emergency or other needs.
