EPFO Passbook Check Online: Good news for EPFO members across India. Employees who were worried because their September and October PF contribution was not showing in their EPF passbook can now breathe a sigh of relief. After a recent system update by EPFO, the pending entries are gradually becoming visible in most accounts. Earlier, due to technical issues, lakhs of employees were unable to see their updated PF passbook, which created confusion and concern about their hard-earned money. EPFO has once again clarified that the money was always safe.
September–October PF Amount Now Visible in EPFO Passbook
For the last few weeks, many EPF account holders noticed that their PF contribution for September and October was missing from the passbook. This delay happened because EPFO was upgrading its internal systems. Now, after the update, entries for these months are slowly reflecting in members’ passbooks. If you had checked earlier and didn’t see the amount, it is advised to check again.
Why Was PF Passbook Not Updated Earlier?
EPFO was working on upgrading its ECR (Electronic Challan-cum-Return) and ledger systems to improve accuracy and speed. During this upgrade process, some monthly PF entries could not be reflected on time. This was purely a technical issue, not a case of money deduction or loss. EPFO had already informed that once the update is completed, all pending entries would appear automatically.
Was Employees’ PF Money Safe?
Yes, absolutely. EPFO made it clear that all PF contributions deposited by employers and employees were fully secure. If PF was deducted from your salary, it was credited to your EPF account, even if it was not immediately visible in the passbook. Only the display of entries was delayed. Now that the system update is almost complete, members can see the correct balance and month-wise contribution.
