Sir
I worked for a Pvt Ltd Company from 1st April 2005 to 31st August 2016. I have applied for PF withdrawal for which I have been asked by my Company to fill up revised Form 15G & send them. I am confused how to fill following
16.Estimated income for which declaration is made
17. Estimated Total Income of the P.Y in which income mentioned in column 16 to be included
19.Details of income for which declaration is filled
From various replies given by you in your Post, I understand PF Balance is to be mentioned in column 16. However I do not know my exact PF Balance. My PF A/c No. GJ/0007788/1234 & my UAN No. 100642497660
I have enquirerd with my COMPANY. But they also do not know & advised me to send Hard Copy of FORM 15G leaving column 16 to 19 Blank to them. They say these will be filled by PF Department.
I do not want rejection of FORM 15G.
Please advise
Dear Basamt,
You can check your EPF account balance in your Passbook / online at UAN portal.
