• I have applied online claim of epfo portal advance my form is submitted can u tell me how much days my claim is settled

  • Dear Deepak.. They generally take around 7 to 10 days to settle an online claim.

• Hi SIr,

  I am Mehul Munge applied for partial pf withdraw for alteration of home in last month Aug 2017 but i got sms saying it got rejected due to insufficient service. I have completed 3 years.What are the other options so i can withdraw pf amount.

  • for any construction of house you need to complete 5 years service

    • Dear Dinesh/Mehul ..If applying through a housing society or agency or cooperative society, the minimum service period for the said purpose is 3 years only.

  • Do we need to compete 5 yrs to avail for withdwaing partial pf amount.

    • Dear Mehul,
      If you are applying individually then 5 years is the minimum service period for partial withdrawal towards house construction.
      If application is through a society or housing agency then minimum period is 3 years.
      I believe that for alterations/repairs, the condition is '5 years from the date of completion of house'.

      Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawal rules & options..

      • Thank you Sir for your information.

        I have one question. How much amount we can withdraw pf amount for medical purpose.

        • Dear Mehul,
          It is, least of i) 6 months Basic + DA or ii) Employee share with interest.

          Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawal options and rules.

        • Do we need medical certificate from doctor for this.and what is self declaration.is it seperate form or main withdrawl form is sufficient.

          Thanks.

        • Dear Mehul,
          No other documents are required if you are submitting the claim online.
          If it is offline claim, you can just submit new Composite Claim Form.

        • Hello sir,
          Where i would get EPFO notification saying for medical purpose no certificate is required and there is no minium service is reqquired.Please send me this notification so i can give details to my HR he is asking for me.

        • Dear Mehul..You may kindly check this link from Ministry of Labour - press release.

        • Thank you very much sir.

          for wihtdrwaing pf amiunt for medical purpose is there any number of years of service is required. Please give me that link also.

        • Dear Mehul ..No minimum service period is required, this rule has been there earlier also.
          You can check this link (EPFO's).

        • Dear Sreekanth

          This is your Information that for medical purpose Form C is required for both Online or offline. I have applied from UNA portal and got rejected showed remarks is " enclose necessary certificate"

        • Dear Prashanta .. I believe that different EPF officers are following different procedures as of now, one of my blog readers has applied for the same, claim was rejected, he again applied online with no documents, claim was accepted.
          As per the latest EPFO's notification, no additional certificate is required for partial withdrawal for the purpose of medical treatment.

• Hi Sree,

  i have two EPF accounts (with old org.- worked for 4 years) and another with current org. (working for past 2 yrs).
  Due to some medical urgency, i need full withdrawl at the best or if not possible, at least partial withdrawl.
  what would you suggest:

  Option 1: Apply composite claim (aadhar) form against old epf account?
  Pros: Immediate cash in hand.
  Cons: Bear 10% TDS. Also, wont be able to furnish doctor certificate over a quick period

  Option2: First merge old epf account with new one and then apply for PART withdrawl
  Pros: No TDS.
  Cons: Not sure off total turnaround time? Any guesses?
  Also, believe would be able to only partly withdraw? what about max. allowed %?

  • Dear Saurabh,
    I guess, online transfer is pretty quick can happen within a week (max) and you may then apply for partial withdrawal (yes it is partial).
    In case, you require it urgently, suggest you to make online partial withdrawal from your current EPF account (TDS is applicable), and then apply for online transfer of funds from old EPF account and then apply for one more partial withdrawal for medical treatment.
    Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawal options & rules..

• How long it should take after I submit the composit form offline for medical emergency?

  • Dear Tirthankar ..may be around 2 to 4 weeks..

• I want to partially withdraw from my PF account by using the physical form for medical treatment purposes. I am not able to apply online as it shows multiple PF accounts linked to my UAN.

  Please let me know how and where should the form be submitted? Can I send the form by post or courier? I am based out of Delhi office of my organisation. But the PF account falls under PF office in Ambattur in Karnataka.

  Regards

  Harish Pandey

  • Dear Harish,
    Yes, you can submit new Composite Claim Form...
    Suggest you to also consolidate your old EPF accounts..Transfer the funds from your old EPF accounts to new one.

    • Dear Sreekanth,

      Thankyou for your prompt reply. Could you please let me know where should I send the form to? The PF office in Delhi area under which my office falls or the PF office in Ambattur, Karnataka?

      And I have another query. If I apply for partial withdrawal for renovation in my existing parental house, would the amount be transferred to my account or do I need to provide the details of the contractor who would carry out the alterations?

      Regards

      Harish

      • Dear Harish,
        The EPF regional office where your EPF account is being maintained.
        It will be transferred to your bank account (that is linked to your EPF a/c).

    • Hi,

• Hi Sreekanth,

  So I have finally sent my partial withdrawal claim form to EPFO. However, I hear from a colleague that employees of Infosys (I work there) wouldn’t be allowed to submit claims directly to EPFO because it has a separate PF Trust or something. Do you have any information on this? Should I approach my employer for this withdrawal or will the offline claim be processed?

  Thanks in advance!
  Anil

  • Dear Anil ..You may kindly check with your employer...
    Do provide the status update here..will be useful to other readers..thank you!
