EPFiGMS is the grievance portal of EPF with an aim to redress the grievance of EPFO services. Recently, I had checked my EPF passbook and found that the interest for FY 2021-22 is still not credited into my passbook. The cut off date for interest calculation is 31st March 2022, and today we are sitting on 17th August 2022. More than 4 months have already passed but till date the interest amount is not showing/credited to my passbook.
While checking through the Member’s Portal for contact details of the EPFO office, I landed up on the another portal called EPFiGMS which is a stand alone portal for redressing any grievance on the services provided by EPFO. I went through the portal and got myself registered with my mobile number and e-mail ID.
The portal will automatically fetch the UAN number linked to your mobile no. and will show you on the screen. Select the current/active UAN number and update your address and other profile details.
