EPFO added 17.21 lakh net members during September 2023

The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has released the provisional payroll data highlighting that EPFO has added 17.21 lakh net members in September 2023.

Year-on-year comparison of payroll data reflects an increase of 38,262 net members over the previous year of September 2022.

The data indicates that around 8.92 lakh new members have enrolled during September 2023. Among these newly joined members, the age group of 18-25 years constitutes 58.92% of the total new members added during the month.

Payroll data shows that approximately 11.93 lakh members exited but rejoined EPFO.
