Do You Have a PF Account? Read This Fraud Alert

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) added 14.12 lakh net subscribers in February 2022. This is a 14 percent jump compared to the new enrollments in the same month last year. The data highlights a growing trend in net payroll additions. 

The EPFO frequently releases cyber fraud alerts through its official social media channels. Recently, the retirement fund body tweeted saying, “#EPFO never asks it's members to share their personal details like Aadhaar, PAN, UAN, Bank Account or OTP over phone or on social media.”

#EPFO कभी भी अपने सदस्यों से व्यक्तिगत विवरण जैसे आधार, पैन, यूएएन, बैंक खाता या ओटीपी फोन या सोशल मीडिया पर साझा करने के लिए नहीं कहता है। #AmritMahotsav @AmritMahotsav pic.twitter.com/6fSKmQVl0B

All salaried persons in the country have EPFO account as it provides a source of income after they retire. Every month, a small portion of the employee’s pay is deducted and also an equal amount from the employer’s side is deposited in the PF account.
