"Employees' Provident Fund Organisation has settled more than 11 lakh (1.1 million) claims during July 2014.
This has taken the cumulative total during this financial year to 43 lakh (4.3 million) claims," said an EPFO statement.
Of the 43 lakh claims, more than 68 per cent were settled in less than 10 days.
Besides, the EPFO updated 92 per cent of the annual accounts due for the year 2013-14. "This achievement is unprecedented and has happened for the first time in the last 30 years," EPFO said.
EPFO has recently issued Universal PF Account Numbers for 4.17 crore (41.7 million) contributing members.
They have been made available to the employers who in turn have to seed the numbers with KYC details such as bank account, permanent account number and Aadhaar.
As per latest progress review, more than 30 lakh (3 million) data has been seeded so far.
EPFO has set September 15 as deadline for completing this task.
These 4.17 crore (41.7 million) UANs are expected to be operational by October 15.
