Active subscribers whose electronic challan-cum-return is already uploaded, can download their e-Passbook every month under the service launched by the EPFO's Central Provident Fund Commissioner R C Mishra today.
The facility shall be available on www.Epfindia.Gov.In.
Holders of inoperative accounts (accounts where there is no contribution in the preceding 36 months), however, cannot access this facility.
Also, the online downloading of PF account statement is not available as of now for members of PF trusts which are set up employers to manage their employees' retirement benefit.
A senior EPFO official told that the exempted PF trusts, which are regulated by the body, would also be asked to provide this service to their members.
For members who are not active (left service) and have not settled their accounts, a e-passbook is available on special requests.
