EPFO to launch E-PRAAPTI portal for tracking and activating inoperative accounts

The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is set to launch E-PRAAPTI (EPF Aadhaar-Based Access Portal for Tracking Inoperative Accounts), a dedicated digital platform. This portal aims to facilitate the identification, tracking, UAN linking, and activation of old EPF accounts. It will provide a streamlined Aadhaar-based authentication mechanism, enabling members to securely access accounts without a linked UAN and initiate profile updates. Initially, it will be member ID-based, reducing manual intervention, documentation, and enhancing transparency. EPFO also settled a record 8.31 crore claims in 2025-26, with 71.11% of advance claims processed in auto mode, demonstrating improved efficiency.
