Regarding Online EPF Withdrawal Claim Request

Hi, This Form-9 is filed by the formal sector employers manually at present to intimate about their new employees to the EPFO. Previously Form 9 in hard copy need to be submitted by employer to respective EPFO office for allotment of PF number to the employees including employee’s personal information. But with effect from 01/10/2017 it is order for the Discontinuance of Form – 9 in physical form by EPFO. The official said that since employee master (roll) is available in the PF system containing all relevant details of the employee like name, gender, DOB, DOJ, father’s/spouse’s name as well as Aadhar & bank details fetched through electronic challan (PF return), then the submission of Form-9 in physical form by the employer can be discontinued. But for those employee’s who’s joining date is prior 01/10/2017, for them employer still need to submit Form 9 in hard copy with their respective PF office. So, kindly contact your employer.  Has your employer allotted you with EPF account & UAN??
