If your Aadhar number and Bank details have not been seeded and your KYC form is not verified by your employer, you have to make your claims of withdrawals in existing (old) Form no 19, 10C & 31 only. You may download old and existing EPF withdrawal forms by visiting EPFO’s website.
This initiative of EPFO makes it possible to implement online settlement of EPF withdrawal claims in the near future. The EPF body is planning to launch the end-to-end online PF withdrawal facility during this fiscal year.

Hi Sreekanth,
I am trying to apply for online pf transfer through the unified portal getting this error : Online claim request cannot be processed as :-
Your AADHAAR is not seeded.
Trust details of your establishment are missing.
However I have updated the Aadhar number in my present company as well as in the unified portal. Aadhar number is approved in the KYC.
I think, Once I enter the details of the pf number in the trust , the trust details of the establishment will be reflected.
Can you guide me on how to proceed further.

Thank you sir, but I only have approved PAN and BANK details in UAN Account as KYC documents. Aadhar Details are not able to update because of mismatch of DOB and details. All details are accurate but still facing this error. Also employers are also not providing any kind of help. Is there any other way to add aadhar details??
Am i able to withdraw PF myself with approved KYC??
Please help me in it.

Dear Rahul,
You may have to get the DoB details updated as per Aadhaar card in your UAN a/c. Kindly take help of your employer.
Else, you may also visit nearest EPFO office and can get this done (linking Aadhaar to UAN).
Yes, you can withdrawal your EPF amount on UAN based form-19 and form-10C.
Dear Sir
I am trying to link my Adhaar number in UAN portal but i am getting error mismatch in data like Gender or DOB or Name.I think so it is due to Name mismatch in UAN portal and Name on Adhaar Card.
UAN portal shows full name along with father Name but on adhaar card only first and last name mentioned.
How do i link my adhaar number to UAN portal . can my employer will help me for this if tell them to do so.
If employer could update the same or if they i have authority to link adhaar number in spite of small mismatch…If it is possible then i could tell them to do so…Please tell me how could i do
Dear sunil ..Yes, you can contact your employer about ‘name correction’, they in-turn will route the request to EPFO. You have to submit necessary document proof (can submit Aadhaar copy).
You may also visit the nearest EPF office and get the Linking done.

Dear Sreekanth,
I was employed to one pvt company in Pune. Now I left that company due to some problem with the management. Now I am not working anywhere.
I want to withdraw my PF amount but my that employer is not supporting on that. I have the UAN no. but when I am trying to link my AADHAAR on UAN site it says invalid Gender as Gender is not mentioned in UAN profile. Also I noticed that my DOB is also not mentioned in UAN site.
I followed up with my employer, but they are not supporting at all.
Can you please guide me what I can do in such case. I really want to withdraw my PF amount.
Thanks,
Yatish
Dear Yatish ..Some technical issues have been reported by other blog readers as well regarding UAN interface.

But the problem is my aadhaar is not linked, because of gender and DOB is not update in UAN interface.
to withdraw the amount first I need to update these.

HI SRIKANTH SIR, I have an EPF account with total sum around 2.5 Lacs, of which 1.5 is employee share & 1.0 as Employer share.
I want to purchase a land at village in different state in India than where I am working in India.
The cost of the land is around 4.5 lacs.
My job in the same company is 5 years & 8 months.
How much can I withdraw? What are the documents required.
Dear Srikant,
You can withdraw up to 90% of EPF balance for purchasing of Site.
Kindly read: EPF partial withdrawal rules.
Actually, I am asking this because, last week I went to EPFO at Bangalore, the EPFO employee at the enquiry told me that you can draw 90% of the employee contribution only. IS IT CORRECT?
Is it 90% of (Employee + Employer) contribution or only 90% of Employee’s contribution?
For the new withdrawal forms without company signatures , should it be submitted on to the regional pf office or can the same be submitted in other pf centres in same city.
Dear Shashi ..The forms have to be submitted by post or in person at the concerned EPF Regional office where such EPF account is being maintained / administered.

Hi Sir,
I am from chennai. My ex company’s pf account is maintained in Thane pf office. My UAN is perfect with all KYC done. Hence I have posted all the claim forms to Thane pf office on March 1 2017. Also when I tracked the speed post it displayed post was successfully delivered. The problem is when I check for the PF claim status online, it still shows no record found. Hence I have filed a complaint in Grievance. I was shocked to see their reply as no claim forms have been received by them. Now I dont know what to do further. Whether I have to wait for another few days or re apply for it.
Kindly help me in this regard. I am waiting for your reply.
Thank you.

I have 3 PF accounts and am currently not working. In my payslips I can see my account number, PAN and UAN numbers. Also the bank account is same for 2 companies and have 2nd bank account for the 3rd company.
Is there a way that I can check if my KYC details are verified by my employer?
I have my first PF account since Aug -2011 and PF is being credited to till Feb-2017 to one of the 3 accounts. Should i use Form-15G as none of the 3 PF accounts are active for 5 years?
Also the UAN portal is down from couple of weeks. Not sure when it will start working again.
Dear Ram,
Yes, the EPFO portals have been down for the last few weeks.
Haven’t you consolidated your EPF accounts?
Hi Sree,
