- Beginning in January 2023, Nidhi Aapke Nikat 2.0 will be held on the 27th of each month at all EPFO district headquarters to reach all districts of the nation simultaneously.
- EPFO held camps in 685 districts to raise awareness among all stakeholders and offer a forum for resolving grievances.
- Grievance redressal of the members will also be done on the spot, and in case any grievance cannot be redressed on the spot, it will be registered on the grievance portal of EPFO and will be resolved on priority.
- Under the programme, a help desk will be established where members can get online services for filing online claims.
- It will serve as a platform for information sharing with district-level authorities of various State and Central Government departments and an information exchange network for employers and employees.
- Under Nidhi Aapke Nikat, EPFO stakeholders used to visit the organization's field offices for grievance redressal; however, under Nidhi Aapke Nikat 2.0, EPFO will reach out to the stakeholders to improve the organization's accessibility and visibility.
- Central Provident Fund Commissioner (CPFC), officers of EPFO, Members of Parliament, Members of Legislative Assemblies, CBT (Central Board of Trustees) Members, Regional Committee members, and District Collectors are the participants in this exercise.
