• EPFO is launching a new mobile app by March 2026 for UPI-based provident fund withdrawals.

• Subscribers can withdraw up to 75% of their EPF balance, with faster claim processing aiming for three days.
• The new app is part of the EPFO 3.0 upgrade, featuring no employer signatures, instant ATM-style withdrawals, and multi-language support.
• Testing is complete, with rollout expected by March 2026, enabling UPI withdrawals from April onwards.
