The Employees' Provident Fund Officers' Association (EPFOA) has made a plea for urgent intervention from the Union Labour Minister to address the critical state of the EPF's IT infrastructure.

In a recent letter, the EPFOA detailed ongoing software instability, frequent outages, and slowdowns that have plagued the system, affecting the daily operations of EPFO offices. The association emphasized that these IT issues strain EPF manpower and hinder service delivery, calling for a thorough and immediate overhaul.

Despite having the financial resources, improvements to the system have been repeatedly delayed, contrasting sharply with advancements in other government departments. The association urged for an emergency evaluation by industry experts to devise a robust, modern solution, highlighting the escalating frustration among staff and officers due to these persistent deficiencies.
