An X post by Saket Gokhale is making several claims regarding the new EPFO rules.

➡️These claims are MISLEADING! Here's a point-by-point clarification on these claims👇

Claim 1: Of your EPF balance, 25% cannot be withdrawn and will remain LOCKED IN for your entire career until you retire.

#PIBFactCheck

Full withdrawal of the entire PF balance (including the minimum balance of 25%) is allowed under a few conditions like: retirement after attaining 55 years of service, permanent disability, retrenchment, voluntary retirement, or leaving India permanently, etc.

Simplified provisions allow full withdrawal of the entire PF balance (including the minimum balance of 25%) after 12 months of continuous unemployment.
Claim 2: EPF has been made mandatory, which means salaried persons cannot escape this draconian monthly robbery by the Govt of their own income.

#PIBFactCheck

The EPF and MP Act 1952 was always mandatory for all establishments employing 20 persons or more, earning Wages less than or equal to Rs 15,000 per month.
Claim 3: Drastic rise in unemployment due to terrible economic policies.

#PIBFactCheck

There is no rise in unemployment. As per the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) – Annual Report, the unemployment figures for 23-24 were down to 3.2% as compared to 6% in 17-18. As per net payroll data, over net 1.29 Cr workers were added to payroll in 2024-25.

The EPFO maintains nearly ₹28 Lakh Cr Corpus and has earned the trust of Crores of Members due to its robustness, security, and higher returns (tax-free in many cases).
An article published on the website "inwayss" claims that during a live TV show, Prime Minister Narendra Modi advised the public to invest in an app that turns an investment of ₹21,000 into a profit of up to ₹6 lakh.

⚠️ No such platform has been endorsed by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi or the Government of India.
