NEW DELHI : EPF withdrawal claims are now being processed faster than before as the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has not only launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool for auto processing of claims but also delinked accounts from regional offices.So far, your provident fund account was linked to the nearest local or regional office and all claims were processed only through that particular office falling under its geographical jurisdiction.
So if one regional office was overburdened with work, claims of EPF subscribers of that office would get delayed.But now EPFO has launched multi-location claim settlement facility under which any regional offices across India can settle all types of online claims related to.
