Employee Provident Fund Organization has launched a major project called “Re-Inventing EPF India’ to provide world class service to all its clients. As part of this project a unique 14 digit identity number called Social Security Number (SSN) is allotted to every Provident Fund subscriber. Social Security Number is compulsory for every Provident Fund subscribers in the new system for providing all kind of services.



Why do I need it?

After Allotment of Social Security Number



§ You will have one unique number for life time including for your Pension after retirement.



§ You will get “Any Where Any Time Facility”, when all the offices of Employees Provident Fund Organization are eventually linked together electronically in a phased manner.



§ There will not be any necessity to transfer your Provident fund accumulations every time you change your employment, or move from one place to another.



§ Your Provident Fund account will be updated every month instead of the present yearly updating.



§ Eventually, when the necessary infrastructure is put in place, you can know your Provident Fund balance even over telephone (IVRS), through the internet or through specially set up interactive kiosks.

Hope it will be useful
