EPFO Shifts Cuttack Office to BSNL Complex

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has relocated its Cuttack district office from Badambadi to the BSNL office complex, aiming to strengthen public services and provide better facilities to subscribers and pensioners.

The newly shifted office was formally inaugurated on Tuesday by Central Provident Fund Commissioner (CPFC) Ramesh Krishnamurthy.

The move is expected to facilitate easier access to EPFO services and improve the disposal of public grievances, settlement of claims and other administrative work for employees, employers and pensioners across Cuttack district.

Addressing the gathering, Krishnamurthy highlighted the organisation’s nationwide social security network, which currently caters to nearly eight crore subscribers and account holders. He also spoke about the ongoing digital reforms, particularly the Centralised IT Enabled System, which is expected to speed up claim processing, expand automation and make services more efficient.

Additional CPFC, Odisha, Julian Tobias informed that the Cuttack district office provides social security coverage across six districts. Despite operating with just 10 employees, the office handles over 3.48 lakh subscribers, around 60,000 pensioners and thousands of establishments.

Regional Provident Fund Commissioner-I Vijay Kumar Prasad and Regional Provident Fund Commissioner-II Maushumi Lata Padhi also addressed the programme.
