Dear Puneet,
There have been some tech issues  @ EPFO online claim processing facility since beginning of this month. 
That could be the reason for the delay. 
Generally online claims are processed, settled and paid in 10 to 15 days.
You may submit your grievance to the EPFO online..click here..http://epfigms.gov.in/   Related article : https://www.relakhs.com/epf-partial-withdrawal-medical-illness/

Your Query : Hi,
I have requested PF for medical emergency on 13th April. and i checked my passbook only the employee share is withdrawal from passbook, though i have not received the amount yet. Also claim status is showing as same amount is approved which was under employee share. Is there any clause that we only can withdraw only employee share not employer.
Your early response will be much appreciated.
Regards
Puneet    My Answer : “For the purpose of ‘medical treatment’, the least of 6 months basic wages (or) employee share with interest is allowed as partial withdrawal.”   Related articles : https://www.relakhs.com/epf-partial-withdrawal-medical-illness/ https://www.relakhs.com/epf-partial-withdrawals-epf-loan-rules/
