As Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation is an organization under Labour Ministry. It has the responsibility for regulation and management of provident funds across India.

The Enforcement Officer/Accounts Officer who are selected after the examination get their posting in one of these regional offices.  The Union Public Service Commission releases state wise vacancy for UPSC EPFO Examination at later stages.  Here is the list of state-wise vacancies for the UPSC EPFO Examination 2020.

Can Someone expect Home Postings in EPFO?

Though all postings under UPSC EPFO are the same and there is no difference in being posted to any of the regional offices. There is a special demand for Home Postings. Even the candidates who preparing for the UPSC EPFO Exam wonder about the prospects of getting home postings.

As per the available information and observation of the cadre management system we have come to the conclusion that home posting is possible in EPFO. If a candidate gets top rank and there is a vacancy in his home state he might just get allotted to home state. But in general the odds for this to happen are less.

There is another way through which the candidates can opt for home postings. As we already know EPFO is a central government organization. After a few years of joining the EO/AO will be promoted to Grade A where there will come under All India Services. One can apply for home state at that time and may be allotted home posting then.
