In September 2014, EPFO (Employees’ Provident Fund Organization) had launched its scheme on making Provident Fund numbers portable. It had already issued around 41.7 million Universal Account Numbers (UAN).
If you are a registered member with EPFO’s UAN Member Portal, by now you would have been familiar with the facilities that are available on the portal. But two facilities like” online transfer of EPF claims” and “online checking of the status of the transferred claims” are still not available. EPFO states that this is still under progress.
However, you can still make EPF online transfer claim through EPFO’s Online Transfer Claim Portal (OTCP). Below is the procedure on how to do EPF money transfer online.
What is the procedure to submit EPF Online Transfer Claim through OTCP?
- Check Eligibility for filing Online Transfer Claim : To file a EPF transfer claim online, the member IDs (Your present & previous) should be available in EPFO database and your employer should have registered the digital signatures of his authorized signatories with EPFO on the portal. Follow below points to know whether you are eligible to file a online Transfer Claim:
- Visit www.epfindia.gov.in .
- Click on Online Transfer Claim Portal (OTCP) under “Employees” category
- Click on ‘Check Eligibility for Filing Online Transfer Claim’
- You have to enter your EPF account details of your previous employer and current employer.
- Click on “Check Eligibility.”
- You can find two options. One is “Click here to Login” to go to Online Transfer Claim Portal. Another option is “ Click here to Register on Member Portal.”
- If you have already registered member, you can click on “Click here to Login” option which is available on the eligibility result screen. (Or) You may directly visit OTC Portal
- If you are eligible to file online transfer but not a registered member then you have to register yourself by visiting http://members.epfoservices.in/ .
- Request for Transfer of EPF account :
- Enter Your KYC documents details to logon to OTCP Portal http://members.epfoservices.in/
- Under CLAIM menu option, you can click on “Request for Transfer of EPF Account.”
- You have to enter your Personal Details (Section Part A) and your Previous EPF account details (Section Part B). (Kindly note that you are using Form 13 here. Form 13 is used to Request for Transfer of EPF account.)
- You have to enter your present EPF account details under Part-C of the application/form.
- You have the option to submit the online transfer Claim form to either your present employer or to your previous employer. You can choose either of them.
- Enter CAPTCHA code and click on “Get PIN”. You will receive Pin on your registered mobile number.
- Enter the PIN number and click on SUBMIT.
- Submit Hard copy of the printable Online Transfer Claim Form (Form-13)
- Click on “CLAIM” menu option.
- Click on View Status of Transfer Claim
- Click on Printable Form 13
- You have to submit the printout (hard-copy) of Online Transfer Claim Form (Form 13) to your Present employer or Previous employer(it depends on the option you have chosen while submitting the Online Transfer Claim Application.)
- You have to submit the duly signed (by you) printout of the claim immediately, but it should not exceed 15 days. Your employer would have the option to reject the online claim application after 15 days.
- You can contact your employer directly . The contact details of authorized signatories are available under the ‘Employer’ details in the “View the status of Transfer Claims” under the tab “CLAIM”.
- Check status of your online EPF transfer Claim request
- If your employer finds some discrepancies in the application form, they may edit and send you revised claim form. You can view these details in the “View the status of Transfer Claims” under the tab “CLAIM”. (OR)
- Your employer (present/previous) may also reject the claim. The reasons for the rejection can be (i) The signed copy of the printout of the claim submitted online has not been received from member. (ii) The member details do not match with company’s records. (iii) The signature of the member does not match with those available in office records. (OR)
- Your employer may approve your request for online transfer claim.
What is the procedure to submit EPF Online Transfer Claim through UAN Member portal?
Universal Account Number (UAN) Member Portal (www.uanmembers.epfoservices.in) was launched in September 2014. This portal offers lot of facilities to EPF subscribers/members.
But, EPF Online Transfer Claim is still not available. For time-being you have to submit online EPF Transfer claims through http://memberclaims.epfoservices.in/ .
Once this facility is available on UAN portal:
- You can login to UAN member portal
- Add previous Member ID (Previous EPF a/c Member Id)
- Check if you are eligible for EPF online Transfer claim.
- Submit the application (Form 13) through UAN portal itself. (The above mentioned process will be integrated in UAN portal. This integration work is still under progress and will soon be made available on UAN portal)
- You can check the Online Transfer Claim status too.
I hope this post is informative and useful. Have you used EPF Online Tranfer Claim Portal when you joined a new company? How user-friendly is Universal Account Number Member’s Portal? Do share your comments.

Hello Sir,
I had done a PF transfer from my previous to current org (Trust). I see the status as
Status : Claim Form 13 for Account Transfer AGAINST Member Account No has been settled. Annexure K and Payment sent through NEFT.
Also i see the cheque status as payment done to my current org – trust bank a/c. But the organisation is requesting for Annexure – K . For this i contact my Old org. PF office. But they are not responding properly and providing Annexure-k. How could i retrieve this annexure – k
Dear Hemalatha,
I believe you need to request your current employer to download Annexure K related to your old EPF account and continue your contributions through new EPF account linked to old UAN number.
Is “Check Eligibility for filing online transfer claim” page down now a days ?
Dear Team,
UAN member portal are not working?
I have 3 multiple pf accounts,how can i consolidate to one pf account that is present employer pf account ?
how much time it will take?And it can possible to see my total pf amount in present employer pf account ?please clarify me..
Dear Raghu,
What is the transfer status being shown in your UAN account (portal)?
Read:
: How to consolidate multiple EPF accounts?
How to check EPF claim status?
Hi Srikanth,
The transfer status showing in URN account like below
Claim Form submitted
Claim Form Approved by Previous Employer.And one attached document also available.
And Suppose i will consolidate multiple EPF accounts to my present employer how much time to come into my present employer?And total amount will be transferred to current employer or NOT??
Dear Raghu,
If all the required details are correct, generally the transfer of funds happens in 30 days or so.
Hi Sri,
That is the big problem am facing, i checked the bank account itself but it was not credited. my previous employer given suggestion like rise governance so i raised but no use.till now no one contacted to me.
So am thinking planning to consolidate the EPF to present employer EPF account.is it possible??or give me any suggestion.And also my question i will consolidate the epf accounts how many days it will take ???
Please clarify me…
Regards,Raghu
Dear Raghu,
Transfer to EPF a/c right? It is a transfer claim and not a withdrawal??
Anyways, EPFO has officially communicated that their USER PORTALS are down and they may take time to resolve some tech issues.
So i want to wait until portal is up…(my bad luck)
Yes Sreekanth,planning to transfer to EPF A/c only.like one employee -one EPF account.is it possible to do it right now or not?And how many days it will take for consolidation to ONE EPF account (Present Employer)???
Thanks in advance,Raghu
Hi Sri,
I have received reply from grievance like below
View Final Reply
Registration Number : RCHEN/E/2017/00275
Name : Raghavender Gajula
Details of Final Reply : it is informed that the no claims in F/13 received by this office till date for effecting transfer . This is for your kind information
Please suggest me,what is the next process for claim or it is better to do like one epf to one epf??Please give advise me as ap..
thanks,Raghu
Dear Raghu,
That means, the transfer request has not yet been submitted to the concerned EPFO regional office.
Suggest you to use one EPF a/c – one Employee online facility to consolidate your EPF accounts. Generally this should take not more than 30 days.
Thanks for replay sri, i am trying to one epf -one employee i have given my correct details but it showing “Invalid Credantials”,provided my present org pf number(member id), that is already linked to the UAN.And also UAN login also showing all 3 pf accounts under UAN,please suggest me..
Dear Raghu,
Probably your personal details linked to UAN 1 are different from UAN 2. Kindly contact EPFO directly / your current employer.

Dear Sir,
I had applied for transfer of my EPF and EPS through OTCP due to job change. PF amount was transferred successfully(both employee and employer’s share) however, Pension Amount shows zero after transfer.
Previous account had Pension fund of Rs.20,444.
Please let me know the procedure to withdraw/ transfer the EPS fund.
Dear Sree ..The transferred amount of EPS would not be reflected in your passbook but the service years would have been transferred/carry forwarded for Pension calculation purposes.
Hi
I have recently switched job and wanted to transfer PF from old PF account to the new PF account. I have a UAN number, but the website lists three (3) previous member IDs or PF accounts connected to three different companies. All of them are eligible for online transfer claim. My confusion is that when I go to ‘Transfer EPF Account Online’, I am not sure which PF details to fill. Do I need to fill three different forms or just one (the latest)?
Also, I can only download the passbook for the last employer and it does not show the previous PF balances. I am unable to download passbook for any other PF accounts. It says, data not available.
Please guide me on what needs to be done.
Thanks.
Dear N_Prabhakar,
How old are other EPF accounts?
Kindly read this article, can be useful to your case: How to consolidate multiple EPF accounts?
Hi
Following are the begin and end dates of the three PF accounts:
PF Account 1: 2011-2014
PF Account 2: 2014-2015
PF Account 3: 2016-2016
Thanks
N_Prabhakar
Dear N_Prabhakar …I believe that EPFO is aiming for one employee-one UAN and one active EPF account.
So as suggested, kindly use the one-employee – one EPF help desk and consolidate your EPF accounts.

Hi Sreekanth,,
My employer submitted my PF withdrawal forms on July 4, 2016. I also have the acknowledgement. Along with the PF forms, there is a name clarification letter that is included. My initials have been expanded in the UAN portal while my KYC has just the initials.
However, until now, the PF withdrawal online status says “No Record Found.” Please guide me on what I can do next, or should I wait for a few more days? As far as I know, the claim is usually processed within a month. The PF office is Bandra, Mumbai.
Regards,
Madhu
Dear Madhu ..Generally claims are settled within 30 days. But EPFO generally takes time to make corrections in their database (time-line, I am not sure,can be more than 1 to 2 months).
Hi Sreekanth,
I am seeing some other PF transfer request in my login account.
How to delete another request in my account
Dear Manibharathi,
That’s strange!
Kindly let your employer & EPFO know about this.
(Some other – do you mean duplicate request or is it some other person’s?)
It is not duplicate request I am seeing someother persons request.
Dear Manibharathi ..Kindly inform your employer and also the EPFO. Click here to submit your grievance.
Hi,
I have applied for online transfer on may 2015. That time I am working for Wipro hyderabad. So I have applied for online transfer from my ex employer to Wipro. Both the employers are approved by the month of Aug 2015. Now the status is “Claim Form 13 for Transfer to New Account Number: AGAINST Old Member Account No (XXXXXXX) has been approved. Payment is under process”. Recently I have joined in another company. I have to apply for online PF transfer from Wipro to new company. But my old PF transfer status is in pending then how I can apply for new PF transfer? May I know any contact number(Hyderabad) of PF office?
Regards,
Ganesh K
Dear Ganesh,
No hurries. You may wait for the previous transfer to complete and then transfer the entire balance to your new EPF account.
You can get the contact details on EPFO website.
Thank you Sreekanth. I have another question. I have another two old PF account which are not eligible for online PF transfer. I have submitted physical forms to wipro PF trust for PF transfer. How do we know the status of these two PF accounts transfer?
Dear Ganesh ..I am not very sure if we can track offline withdrawal requests.
Dear Sreekanth,
I have posted above query on July 7th. By that time my transfer claim status was with “Claim Form 13 for Transfer to New Account Number: AGAINST Old Member Account No (XXXXXXX) has been approved. Payment is under process”. Till now the status was not settled and also now above status is not displaying in portal. So I have called to Hyderabad PF office and they told me that it was failed, so please re-transfer again. Again I have applied for transfer.
If I try to download my passbook of my previous PF account, then it is displaying that ‘Account is already settled’. Here my question is, if my previous transfer was failed then why it is giving that message. And What amount will be transferred with this second attempt?
Thanks,
Ganesh K
Dear Ganesh ,
Did you check your bank account? Received any amount? (either EPF / EPS)
Kindly read : How to track EPF claim status.
Yes, I have checked. I did not receive any amount. More over I called to Hyderabad EPF customer care. They told me that it was failed, so please reapply for EPF transfer.
Dear Ganesh ..If they have confirmed it, you may go ahead and reapply for transfer.

Hello Sreekanth,
My name is Jai. I was working with a Company previously from Jan 2009 to Apr 2010. I joined another company during May 2010 and working there till date. I did not apply for PF Transfer at that time since I Initially wanted to withdraw my money but I was employed at that time. When I heard that the PF Transfer was a tedious process during 2011-12 which meant that we have to physically follow up with both employers I didn’t apply for transfer. Now that the PF system was made Online, I tried to check my PF balance and found that my ex-PF account has become inoperative. I have also submitted a request through the Inoperative Account Helpdesk website but yet to receive a response from them (more than 1 month). In the meantime, I also manually tried to add my previous PF account through the UAN Portal and it is now reflecting under the Previous Member ID tab in the UAN portal.
My question is, would it be possible to File for Transfer Claim if my ex-PF account is still Inoperative? Kindly explain Exempted and Non-exempted trust as I am getting a note when I try to submit the Transfer claim “You can get attestation only from current employer as this trust is exempted”. What is the ETR from the Inoperative Account Helpdesk for a request? I have provided all the necessary details in my request when I first submitted it. Not sure why it is getting delayed.
I have emailed UAN support team today requesting an update. Are there any other ways that we can get this expedited?
Thanks,
Jai
Dear Jaikanth,
Yes, it is possible to submit a Transfer request through OTCP portal.
The current employer is maintaining their own PF trust.
You can submit a transfer claim and get it approved from your current employer and then can wait for your ex-employer to update the status.

Dear Hima ..May I know the reason for ‘rejection’?
Hello Sreekanth,
I had raised a offline PF transfer request with my current employer (signed form 13) which they sent to my ex employer for approval. I received a text message from the EPFO office with a tracking number which mentions that I can track the information on the portal using tracking id, UAN or mobile. However, when I logged into the portal I do not see the tracking id there, is there any other portal that I can track this transfer from?
Regards
Jignesh

Dear Sir,
I worked in a private job from 2012 to 2014. Now I have joined a government company. I want to transfer my PF to my new company. But in my new govt. company, there is only NPS facility. So i am unable to give details like REGION, OFFICE, EST CODE, EXT, A/C NO in OTCP portal.
Pls tell me how to proceed.
Also tell me if i withdraw money from previous company PF account, TAX will be deducted or not? OR i shoud wait for 5years??
Please reply soon.
Dear Jaspal,
You can not transfer EPF monies to NPS a/c as the two schemes are administered by two different entities.
So, there are no contributions to EPF scheme from 2014? Suggest you to withdraw the funds and Yes TDS will be deducted as your contributions were for only 2 years.
You may also re-check this with EPFO.
Sir what % will be the duduction on that money? PF amount is approx. 80000 rupees.
Dear Jaspal..Kindly read : EPF withdrawals & new TDS rules.
dear sir,
to transfer my pf, is this necessary to approve by previous employer. if present employer approve can pf be transferred.
Dear Salim..Yes your previous employer has to approve your EPF a/c transfer request.
Hi Sreekanth,

when i reached my current employer, they have said as it’s related PF office online portal and they don’t have control over this technical issue.

Dear Sreekanth Sir,
I want to withdrawal my PF due to a medical emergency to my father. I have contact online to PF office and they told me that I can use UAN-Based Form 31 to withdrawal PF without employer signature. I have joined my current employer on 23rd June 2014.
I want to know that what types of medical certificate I need to attach with UAN-Based Form 31. So that I can avail the maximum amount. Please suggest.
Dear Akash,
If your KYC details (Aadhar no, PAN & bank account details) are verified by your current employer, you can submit Form 31 UAN directly to EPFO office.
Kindly read : EPF new forms.
Eligible amount can be : Least of 6 month’s basic salary or employee share with interest. You need to submit Certificate C signed by your employer & doctor (along with form 31).

2) My kyc documents are uploaed by employer .Why it is showing verification status pending ?
Waiting for your reply. Thank You.
Dear Nilesh,
Contact your current employer and submit request for corrections.
There might be discrepancies with the details that are available on EPF database with your KYC documents. Speak to your current employer and get it rectified.
Thank You for your suggestion. I have one another query.
I have an an EPF of a company located at Bangalore which I left in 2010 . Now when I download E-Passbook from EPF member portal, it shows :
Passbook cannot be generated
Reason: In-operative member
Contact:EPFO Office
Now I am working in Mumbai Location. Can I transfer the above inoperative account to my current UAN. Kindly reply what to do? Thank You.
Dear Nilesh,
Submit online transfer request to your current employer and also a hardcopy of your transfer claim form to the present employer.
Before doing this, you may check the old EPF a/c details by submitting online request. Kindly read my article – “EPF in-operative a/c – Track & Find“
Hi Sreekanth,
All articles are very useful, you are educating us. I have a query related to EPF.
IN EPF details , I don’t know my Previous Employee EST Code and EXT. My Previous company is HCL.
I have UAN Number, So Please let me know can I do online transfer of my previous EPF account?
Thanks,
Lalitha
Dear Lalitha,
You may get in touch with your previous HR (HCL) and get the required details.
Also, the PF member id details are generally available on ‘Final settlement’ documents or payslips. Do check out them. Once you find the details, map the previous organisation’s PF member id to your UAN and submit online transfer claim. You may submit it to the present employer itself.
Kindly read my article – “EPF online transfer through OTCP member portal“.
I submitted my online PF transfer claim and I did it thru current employer. My current employer approved that request on the same day but it is still pending to my previous employer.
Is there any time limit by which they should approve it?
Dear Jyoti,
While submitting the claim request, did you select ‘present employer’ option or ‘previous employer’ option?? Did you submit the hard-copy of your request?
(Suggest you to follow the procedure as suggested on Facebook chat…)
I want to buy a bike so i need to take out of PF money from my present employment.

Dear Surya,
Do you use your EPF monies to buy depreciating assets like ‘bike’.
You can not withdraw your EPF amount.
Hi Sree,
It’s very usefull for me & i have shared with my friends also.
I’m not eligibel to transfer the amount to my current company EPF account through online. i have to submit hard copy to transfer.
In my previous EPF account i have sum of Rs. 15000,
shall i transfer this amount to my current EPF a/c or i have to withdraw and invest in mutual fund (Eg ELSS, EQUITY or BOND for my retirement ?
Based on your advise i have to advise my friends too.
Please advise
Regard
Rajesh
Dear Rajesh,
Thank you for sharing the article with your friends.
It is legally wrong to withdraw EPF a/c monies, if you are currently employed. Suggest you to transfer to your current EPFa/c. You can tag (allocate) your EPF a/c fund to your retirement goal.
Out of your savings, suggest you to invest for your retirement, preferably in good Large cap and diversified funds. Let me know your risk profile and other financial goals.
I’m 28 year old(Single), working in KPO and my take home salary is 25 K.
I have plan to buy Term insurance in Apr-2015 for 50 lks in HDFC click to protect income plan for 40 years.
Can you suggest out of 4 HDFC plans which is best plan?
Goals:
I have plan to start business at the age of 40 with min 10 lakhs.
I want to buy house if it’s possible with my salary.
Investment: i have started investing in Mutual fund via SIP in Mira assest opportunity fund on monthly 1000.

Dear Rajesh,
Are you talking about HDFC Click 2 Protect PLUS? (HDFC Life has two Term insurance plans, HDFC click2protect and HDFC click2protect plus).
You may read my article on “HDFC Click2Protect Plus – Features & Review.”
You may also read my article on “Top 7 best Online Term plans.”
I suggest you may consider buying simple online term plan as of now.
Goals:
Is that Rs 10 lakh present value or future value?
When do you want to buy house?
Mirae fund is a good one. Stay invested.
Hi Shreekanth,
I have left my previous employer and it has been 9 months since then and now have new PF account with current employer . Can you please suggest that can I withdraw the money from PF account from previous employer now. Please help as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.
Dear Krishna,
Legally you are not supposed to withdraw your EPF monies as you are now employed. Suggest you to transfer the PF a/c monies online. Did you activate your UAN (universal account number). Kindly follow the points mentioned in the article. You may also visit my other post on UAN – Details .
I have submitted form to previous employer, that status shows “Approved by Previous Employer” from past one month,
Dear Amit,
If your previous employer has approved it then i do not see any other reason why you haven’t receive the monies. Have you checked your Latest EPF statement?
When I try to check my latest pf statement giving the pf number of my new employer, it says that your request has been taken, and passbook will be uploaded soon.
This is happenning from the last 3 months.
When i try to view my latest pf statement giving the new pf number (of my new org), the site says that your request has been taken and ur e passbook will b uploaded soon. I am trying to view epassbook from last 3 months.
Dear Amit,

Hi,
There is revised form 13 shown up after previous employer approved the claim (hard copy of Form 13 was sent) on memberclaims. epfoservices. in
What to do with this revised Form 13??
Thanks
–MKS
Dear MKS,
You have to complete that form 13 and can submit it either to your present employer or to your previous employer. Sometimes, choosing the previous employer saves times.
Sreekanth:
What is meant by “complete” here?
I’ve *already* sent Form13 and it is approved by previous employer. Please note that PF transfer claimed was online.
What is next step?
Thanks

Dear MKS,
When did you submit your form 13? (date)
02 Mar 2015 Claim Form Submitted .
05 Mar 2015 Claim Form Approved by Previous Employe
Dear MKS,
Then it is better to contact your previous employer and check with them, you may have to re-submit the revised form-13.
I am submitting transfer claim on line but still not any response . One month completed.
Dear Harishchandra,
Did you submit the online transfer claim to your present Employer (or) to your previous Employer?
