Labor and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has given this information.
Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said that the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has achieved a historic milestone by settling more than 5 crore claims for the first time.

Mansukh Mandaviya said, the auto-claim mechanism has helped in processing the claim within three days of applying for it. The Labor Minister said, the impact of this reform is clearly visible. In the current financial year, auto claim settlement has doubled to 1.87 crores, while during the entire financial year 2023-24, 89.52 lakh auto claims could be processed. He informed that the Provident Fund Transfer Claim Submission Process has also been simplified. After simplification of transfer claim application, now only 8 percent of transfer claims require approval from the member and employer. 48 percent of such claims are being submitted directly by the members without the intervention of the employer, while 44 percent of transfer requests are being done automatically.
Referring to the impact of Member Profile Correction Reforms, the Labor Minister said, since the beginning of this process, about 97.18% of member profile correction is being done with self-approval of the members themselves, only 1% of the cases require the approval of the employer. He said, these reforms have not only accelerated the claim process but have also contributed to reducing members’ grievances, further strengthening the trust in EPFO.
