Why EPFO Is Important For Workers?

EPFO is important because it helps workers save money for the future. Every month, both the worker and the boss put some money into the Provident Fund. This money grows and can be used after retirement. EPFO also gives other benefits like pension and insurance to protect workers and their families. If someone changes jobs, EPFO makes it easy to move their money without any problem. You can also check your PF balance or get your money using simple ways like websites, apps, SMS, or missed calls. This helps workers keep track of their savings easily.
