  • Dear Mohammadu,
    Small correction, it should be 'previous' and not 'previews'.
    You may have to visit your area EPF office in person. Submit the completed 'withdrawal form' (visit EPFO website - . Get the form attested by a Public Notary. Since you are not employed, make an affidavit that you are not employed elsewhere and hence withdrawing your EPF money. Submit these documents at regional EPF office. Remember, employer's signature is not required. If possible, submit proofs (if any) that your the company has shutdown its operations.
    Revert to me if you need any help.

• I have filled up the form for the INOPERATIVE EPF Account on the online portal . But it does not send a Pin number on my phone, although it says the PIN has been successfully sent to your mobile.

  I have tried multiple times but there is nothing and also no helpline number to call.

  Please can you tell me what to do.

  • Dear Eva,
    Did you provide correct mobile number?
    I am not sure as to what could be the reason..

• Hello Shreekanth, I have read all your articles and I like them all as it gives interesting and helpful information....

  • Thank you Manali. Keep visiting!

• Hello, At present, I'm in Compnay 'Z' . My pas companies were X and Y.

  I had requested the transfer PF from X to Y 5 years ago. But still amount is not credited into Y account due to technical issue(as per PF office).
  But from X, amount is already transferred but not credited into Y.
  Please suggest what shall i do now?

  My another question is: By simply linking inoperative PF account to UAN, will govt pay interest ?

  THanks
  Mahantesh

  • Dear Mahantesh,
    What are the 'technical issues'?
    Even if you do not link, the interest amount is payable (provided the EPF a/c is not a dormant account)

• EPF IP account link is not works. Please check

  • Dear Chaitanya,
    Are you referring to the links that are provided in my article (i checked, url links are fine), or EPFO's website is unavailable?

• I worked with Fidelity Investments at Level 9, Level 21, DLF Square Building, Jacaranda Marg, Gurgaon and Unitech Business Park Gurgaon worklocations of also named Fidelity Technology India Pvt. Ltd, and they issued me payslips with a HR PF Number. When I enter the same HR PF Number at the EPFO website it shows as record not found. And the message from EPFO says that they will contact me since about a month ago. Is there a way to get to my PF as I need the funds now as I'm unemployed and need the money now.

  • Dear Zubin,
    Did you try contacting your previous employer?
    I heard that Fidelity IT division (India) has been shut down ? Is this true?

    • Thanks for your valuable advice Sreekanth..Keep up the good work. To the best of knowledge Fidelity IT Division was closed sometime during 2010. But some of the IT sub- contractors , developers and vendors like Polaris may still be functioning

      • Dear Zubin,
        Are you able to trace your PF a/c? Did you get reply from EPFO helpdesk?

        • Yes, thank you Sreekanth they did sort of reply, but only sort of. They've closed my case on their own with the closing remarks that such and such were my EPF and EPS accumulations as on April 2015, but they've not indicated the inoperative account number or told me how to access it as I may need it in the short term future ( I think I did not exceed the ten year lock in period). They should atleast have the courtesy to give me a new INOPERATIVE ACCOUNT NUMBER, and tell me how to redeem all the cash in it, as its just lying dormant. Do you know if they will Sreekanth issue all the inoperative account holders a live account number?

        • Dear Zubin,
          Suggest you to contact the nearest EPFO office and get this done at the earliest. You may find the contact addresses on EPFO's website.
