EPFO Hits Record High in June 2025 with Robust Member Additions

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) witnessed its highest-ever net member addition in June 2025, enrolling 21.89 lakh individuals, the largest monthly figure since the inception of payroll data analytics in April 2018. This marks a 9.14% increase compared to May 2025 and a year-on-year growth of 13.46% from June 2024.

In June 2025 alone, EPFO registered approximately 10.62 lakh fresh subscribers, a 12.68% jump from May and a 3.61% rise compared to June 2024. The 18-25 age group formed the bulk of new joiners, with 6.39 lakh youth entering the workforce through the EPFO framework.

The net payroll addition for this demographic reached 9.72 lakh, showing an 11.41% increase over the previous month and a 12.15% rise year-on-year.

Strong Re-engagement from Returning Members

June also saw a sharp uptick in returning members. Approximately 16.93 lakh individuals rejoined the EPFO after a break in service, a 5.09% increase over May 2025 and a significant 19.65% rise compared to June 2024. These members chose to transfer their past PF balances instead of withdrawing them, indicating greater financial foresight and a stronger inclination towards long-term social security.

Female Participation on the Rise

EPFO enrolments among women also gained momentum. Around 3.02 lakh new female subscribers joined in June 2025, a 14.92% increase from the previous month and a slight 1.34% rise compared to the same month last year. Net payroll additions for women stood at 4.72 lakh, reflecting monthly and annual growth rates of 11.11% and 10.29%, respectively. This suggests a gradual but meaningful shift towards greater female participation in formal employment.
