EPFO Portal So Slow, Even a Sloth Might Finish Its Work Faster

The EPFO portal—meant to help citizens access their own PF savings—continues to move at its trademark pace: somewhere between buffering and frozen. Users report the same old story: OTP arrives instantly, but the website? Still loading… still processing… still thinking… For many, this isn’t a one-time glitch but a permanent feature of the EPFO experience. Some even joke that a sloth could complete a PF claim faster than the portal loads a single page. And the irony isn’t lost on taxpayers. After paying crores into government coffers for “digital infrastructure,” citizens naturally wonder: Is this the digital India we were promised, or a slow-motion version of it? Meanwhile, no official explanation has been issued—probably stuck loading too.
