Check EPF Grievance Status in Simple Steps – Here’s How!

The Employee’s Provident Fund (EPF) was launched in 1952 by the Ministry of Labour & Employment to promote savings among working professionals. It provides social security and a secure future for employees. Under the EPF, both employers and employees contribute 12% of the employee’s dearness allowance and basic salary. To ensure quality services and assistance, the EPFO has introduced the EPFO grievance system, an online platform for addressing common employee issues. The platform allows employees to register complaints related to EPF withdrawal claims, EPF passbooks, and more.

This blog will guide you through a simple step-by-step process to easily check the status of your EPF grievance.
