New EPFO App Expected This Month—UPI Withdrawals to Get Faster
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is set to launch its new mobile app soon, which is expected to make PF withdrawals faster—possibly even through UPI. While the official rollout date is still awaited, users don’t need to wait to access their funds.
Until the new app arrives, you can easily withdraw your PF money using the UMANG app, which already offers a simple and mobile-friendly process.
Can You Withdraw PF via UMANG App Right Now?
Yes, you can. The UMANG app allows users to:
- File PF withdrawal claims
- Track claim status
- Access EPFO services
👉 However, unlike the upcoming EPFO app, UPI withdrawal is not available yet, and the money is typically credited within 7 to 15 days.
Important Conditions Before Applying
Before you initiate a PF withdrawal via UMANG, make sure:
✔ Your UAN (Universal Account Number) is activated
✔ Your Aadhaar is linked with UAN
✔ Your bank account KYC is complete
✔ Your mobile number is registered on UMANG
Without these, your claim may be rejected.
