EPFO Restricts Employers from Accessing Employees' Past Employment Details

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), through a circular dated 27th March 2025, has barred employers from viewing an employee’s past employment details via the EPF employer portal.

This move aims to prevent the misuse of employees' work history while ensuring data privacy.

Employers can now access only current employment details. However, past Employee Pension Scheme (EPS) membership details will remain visible during onboarding to verify EPS contributions.

The change reinforces privacy protections while maintaining compliance with EPS eligibility under Form 11.
