EPFO Advanced Details API
Fetch detailed EPF passbook data by UAN without an OTP, including employer contribution history, service records and personal details.
What the EPFO Advanced Details API does
EPFO Advanced Details returns the substance of an employee's provident fund record: the UAN-linked profile, contribution history across employers, personal details and service records, all without requiring an OTP round trip.
Skipping the OTP removes the main source of drop-off in employment verification, since it does not depend on the applicant still controlling their EPFO-registered mobile number. Confirm your consent model supports it before you rely on it in production.
Where teams use the EPFO Advanced Details API
Verifying employment where OTP-based consent causes drop-off
Pulling contribution history for income assessment
Reconstructing service records during background checks
Cross-checking declared salary against contribution levels
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How is this different from the OTP flow?
It returns comparable data without the OTP step. The trade-off is the consent trail: the OTP flow proves the individual authorised the lookup at that moment.
Do I still need consent?
Yes. This is personal financial data. Collect and record consent through your own flow even though the API does not enforce an OTP.
What do contributions tell me about salary?
Provident fund contributions are a fixed proportion of basic pay, so they give a reliable signal of salary band, though not an exact figure.
