Why members should check their Passbook

Checking the passbook is vital as it lets members know that the employer payments are being made on a regular basis. It also helps to identify missing entries, late deposits, bad member IDs or transfer difficulties.

Things to Remember for Users

Members are advised to use only official EPFO platforms and never provide UAN passwords, OTPs, Aadhaar numbers or bank details with unknown websites or persons.
