EPFO EO/AO Previous Year Question Papers

Enforcement Officer / Accounts Officer · Employees' Provident Fund Organisation · conducted by the Union Public Service Commission

Every question solved with the official UPSC final answer key, with an explanation of why the keyed option is right and each other one is wrong. The question text is transcribed from the Commission's own booklet.

The paper

General Ability Test — 120 questions, 300 marks, 2 hours
Four options, printed (a)–(d); the answer key prints them as A–D
A wrong answer loses one-third of the marks for that question
Two parts: Part A (Q1–Q20) is the English Language section, printed in English only; Part B (Q21–Q120) is printed in हिन्दी and English alike

These figures are read from the booklet cover and the answer key's own face. We do not publish an exam date for these papers: no source we hold states one, and the date in a UPSC archive filename is the date the file was published.

Solved papers

EPFO runs two different recruitment tests

UPSC conducts the Enforcement Officer / Accounts Officer (EO/AO) test and the Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner (APFC) test on the same day, under different advertisement numbers, with different papers — General Ability Test and General Studies. They are not two versions of one exam, and a paper from one is no guide to the other.
