Auto-Claim Settlement Target: 72 Hours for KYC-Verified Accounts
April 2026 | Process Update
EPFO has directed all regional offices to settle auto-mode online claims (Form 19, 10C, and 31) within 72 hours for members with fully verified KYC.
Ensure your Aadhaar, PAN, and bank account are linked and approved to benefit from faster settlements. AI-driven claim processing systems are being deployed to minimize manual intervention.
