The scheme becomes operational from November 01, 2025. The scheme aims to enhance workforce formalisation and promote ease of doing business, as it offers that employers won\u2019t need to pay the employee\u2019s share of contribution if it wasn\u2019t deducted earlier. They\u2019ll only have to pay a small penalty of Rs 100.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">On the 73rd Foundation Day of the Employees\u2019 Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister for Labour &amp; Employment and Youth Affairs &amp; Sports, announced the scheme, stating that \u2018EPFO is not merely a fund \u2013 it represents the trust of India\u2019s workforce in social security\u2019.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Mandaviya also launched EPFO\u2019s new homepage with a user-friendly domain name www.epfo.gov.in, offering better user-friendly interface, enhanced navigation and simplified access to key services, and information for all the stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">On the update of EPFO 3.0, the most awaited by lakhs of subscribers, Mandaviya said that platform will further improve efficiency and accessibility, while new initiatives such as simplified withdrawal categories and the Viswas Scheme have eased compliance for employers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">EPFO exchanged MoUs with India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) for digital life certificate submission and with Government e-Marketplace (GeM) for data sharing.<\/p>\n<h3>EPFO 3.0: All You Need To Know<\/h3>\n<p>Though the precise operational details are awaited, the EPFO 3.0 upgrade is expected to integrate PF accounts with the broader financial infrastructure supporting the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and ATM networks. This would allow subscribers to withdraw eligible EPF funds directly via UPI apps or bank ATMs, possibly using a secure PIN or Aadhaar-based verification. Withdrawal limits and conditions are likely to be implemented to ensure fund safety and compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Experts suggest the new digital withdrawal methods promise multiple benefits. Firstly, it enhances convenience by eliminating paperwork and lengthy waiting periods. Secondly, it enables anytime, anywhere access to EPF savings, crucial in emergencies. Thirdly, it aligns with the broader vision of Digital India and financial inclusion by integrating government-backed savings schemes with the digital financial ecosystem commonly used by most Indians.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Varun Yadav\" title=\"Varun Yadav\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-11-at-14.38.33-2025-02-47cdd4fd31681cc3efe5087cb8bd1418.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/varun-yadav-28203.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Varun Yadav<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Varun Yadav is a Sub Editor at News18 Business Digital.
