EPFiGMS - How to Register an EPF Grievance Online?

EPF Grievance

The EPF scheme is an official social saving scheme. The EPFO program expands each year as new employers join the system to contribute to the retirement savings fund.

The scheme is administered by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), which organizes all of the contributions and ensures that the right money is given to the right individual. With the vast number of EPF participants, it is understandable that if any questions or complaints occur, members must either contact the employer or face difficulties in resolving their issues.

However, the government, through the EPFO, devised a genius method for resolving EPF issues and inquiries. The framework will resolve this issue and assist in connecting EPFO assistance to EPF members. Staff and bosses save time and money by being able to resolve problems online. The EPFO’s updated I-grievance management system, also known as EPFiGMS makes it easier for stakeholders to communicate their concerns and grievances to the EPFO. It’s built with a segment to remind you to search and answer any pending service complaints. Applicants may also use the web portal to monitor the status of their problems.

Features of the EPFiGMS

  • Customer grievances can be filed online with UAN OTP authentication.
  • Allows consumers to file reminders for unresolved complaints.
  • Customers will monitor the progress of their complaint resolution.
  • Providing updates on complaints that have been resolved
  • Allowing consumers to upload several grievance documents
