The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) of India will settle provident fund withdrawal claims within 24 to 48 hours, and plans to introduce a UPI payment facility soon to further streamline payments.

◆ The Wire takeaway

India's EPFO shortening PF withdrawal times and adding UPI payments opens a new customer experience standard and competition for fintech firms serving payroll and benefits. You need to rethink integration points with payment rails and support faster disbursements.
