EPFO Submit OTP API
Validate the EPFO one-time password and complete authentication, unlocking access to the employee's provident fund records.
Overview
What the EPFO Submit OTP API does
This completes the consented EPFO flow. Submit the OTP the employee received and the API confirms whether authentication succeeded.
