In this article, our main aim is to suggest enhanced families of estimators for estimating the population distribution function (DF) using twofold auxiliary evidence within the framework of simple random sampling. Numerical analysis is performed on four different actual data sets. The precision of the estimators is further investigated exhausting a simulation study. As equated with existing estimators, the suggested families of estimators have minimum mean square error (MSE) and higher percentage relative efficiency (PRE). The succeeding recommended family of estimators outperforms the first family of estimators across all data sets. These are positive indicators of its performance. The theoretical result shows that the recommended family of estimators performs better than the existing estimators. The extent of improvement in efficiency is noteworthy, indicating the superiority of the suggested estimators in terms of minimum MSE.
