The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) completed its member database migration to a centralised platform this month, part of the Centralised IT Enabled Services (CITES) project, the Ministry of Labour and Employment said.
Union Labour and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said the move marks a significant overhaul for the retirement savings fund body, which aims to deliver faster, transparent services. "EPFO has completed the process of migrating its entire database of member records to the new centralised database," he stated in a release last week.
The CITES project replaces the previous decentralised structure where each field office housed separate databases. Now, all EPF member data sits on a single national platform, allowing requests to be processed from any authorised location in India. Members no longer need to visit their specific regional office to raise PF and pension claims.
