New EPF Withdrawal Forms – Form 19 UAN, Form 10C UAN & Form 31 UAN

Last updated: August 13, 2019 | by Sreekanth Reddy

Employees Provident Fund organisation (EPFO) has issued a latest notification regarding ‘New EPF Withdrawal Forms‘ (new PF claim forms). As of now, it is mandatory to get your EPF claim forms attested and signed by your employer.

As per this notification, all employees whose UANs (Universal Account Numbers) are seeded / linked with their Aadhar numbers and Bank Account details, and whose KYC have been verified by their respective employers can now submit new EPF withdrawal forms directly to EPFO without their Employers’ attestation. This new initiative may help in fast settlement of your PF claims.

So, your employer’s seal &  signature are now not mandatory if you would like to ;

  • Withdraw your PF (or) apply for Final Settlement of your PF (or)
  • Withdraw your EPS benefit (Employees Pension Scheme) (or)
  • Make a Partial Withdrawal or take Advance / loan.

(Kindly note that you can withdraw EPS pension benefit only if have not completed 10 years of eligible service as on date of leaving.)


Latest Update (22-Feb-2017) : EPFO has introduced new composite, single page and common Withdrawal form for all types of Withdrawals.

New & Revised EPF Withdrawal Forms

The new PF claim forms are very simple and easy to fill. EPF members can submit them directly to respective jurisdictional EPF office.

Latest Update (08-August-2016) :

EPFO has now clarified that the above Self Declaration Form can be accepted in case of UAN based claim form without attestation of the employer. Henceforth, the attestation of employers on the Declaration Form would not be required in case of UAN based Claim Form No. 31(UAN). Click here to download Declaration Form for Partial PF withdrawals.


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.

      Dear Raja,
      EPFO may or may not process your request as you are contributing to EPF scheme again now.
      In case they reject your withdrawal application, you have to TRANSFER old EPF a/c monies to new one.

          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).

    • Deepak says:
      May 23, 2017 at 9:55 am

      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

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      May 22, 2017 at 11:49 am

      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.

    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.

      • Srikant Behera says:

        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?

    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.

    Hello Sir! I have resigned my job on the dated 31st January 2017 due to my health problem. I have seeded my bank account no and aadhar no with UAN.

How many days will take to credit the amounts to my bank account? Please let me know. I will be highly obliged. Thanks

      Dear Majumder,
      You can submit New Composite Claim Form to EPFO office directly. Cancelled cheque leaf, PAN card copy and Form 15G have to be submitted along with the withdrawal form. They generally take 20 to 30 days to settle PF claim.

    Hi Sree,

    Much thanks for the detailed information.

    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?

    • Ram says:

          Thank you for getting back actively with you having so many questions in all of your posts.:)

          No i haven’t consolidate the accounts yet. And I am not working with any of the 3 companies now.

            I want to withdraw my PF as it may not carry any interest now.
            What form should I submit
            Will I be taxed.
            How long would they take to reimburse?
            Can they credit directly into my account

            • Sreekanth Reddy says:

              Dear Srini,
              There wont be any tax if EPF is withdrawn after 5 years of contribution.
              They generally settle the claim within 30 days. Yes, they will make online credit to your bank account.
              You need to submit Composite EPF claim form.

    Hi Sreekanth sir,

    On last year i started to work in an private company and i worked there for only 04 months (i.e., 07/03/2016 to 02/06/2016) and later due to some reasons, i had given my resigning letter and i left that job ..The thing is, I have submitted my bank details & Aadhar details And I didn’t collected my UAN number and now i want to withdraw the PF amount.. So, will you please suggest me for this problem..

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      February 20, 2017 at 3:10 pm

      Dear Kavya,
      You can contact your employer and get UAN number. Check if your KYC details have been verified by them or not. If they have been, you can send new UAN based withdrawal forms along with copy of PAN card, cancelled bank cheque leaf and Filled form 15G to EPFO directly.
      In case, they dont let you know your UAN, you can use UAN helpdesk portal to know your UAN number. But, for the last few weeks, all EPFO portals have been facing some tech issues.

    Dear Sreekanth:

    I would need your help in submitting the EPF Form – 31 (UAN); please refer below is my case summary:

    I work in an ITES/BPO service organization in Chennai whose head office is located in Kandivali, Mumbai & my PF account is being managed by the EPF office in Kandivali. I want to do a partial withdrawal of my PF earnings & have submitted EPF Form – 31 (UAN) on 28/01/2017 thru India post speed post. When I tracked the status of shipment it showed the package was delivered to the EPF Commissioner’s office on 30/01/2017.

    I have registered a grievance since I do not find a status of my PF claim when I verified the status of the claim online. My grievance has been closed stating that they do not have received my claim form.

    I’m wondering what should I do now. Is there a process to be followed to mail the EPF forms- I mean to ask, should it be mailed only thru registered post or any alternate method is accepted.

    Please advise.

    Thank you in advance for your time & assistance in this matter.

    Thanks,
    Balamurugan

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

        Dear Mr. Sreekanth:

        First off- thank you for your reply.

        Rather than filing an RTI are there any other things that I can do now? Can I resubmit the EPF Form- 31 (UAN) again? If yes, what is the procedure- should I send it thru registered post or thru speed post or courier is acceptable.

        Please advise.

        Thanks & Regards,
        Bala.

    HI,

    I want to withdraw my PF, I left my previous company for some personal reasons and i worked for almost 2.5yrs. MY UAN is Active and KYC is seeded( bank account not active) I went through a lot reading and found I can use UAN based form 19, 10C for withdrawal. I still have few question, would be great if some one could help me with them.

    1: what is 15G/H used for and should I send it along with UAN based 19,10C.
    2. My previous bank account is not active so I updated the new bank details in the pf portal and it still shows pending kyc for almost a week, how or who will have to approve my bank details.?
    3. As we have this UAN in place do we still have to provide the pf number from the company and if yes where on the forms?
    4. once I have all the documents updated do I need them to get them attested by any legal authorities?

    I know these are simple questions but I could not find a proper answer for these question. need help on this please.

        the employment status is termination and they are not responding to my request.
        i updated the bank account details in the e-pf portal, will they accept from the portal?
        once I have all updated should i post the documents or can i submit directly at RPO?

      Yes, you can withdraw full balances of PF & EPS (provided you are unemployed for min 60days and currently not contributing to EPF scheme).
      You need to send the filled withdrawal forms, self-attested copy of PAN card, blank & cancelled cheque leaf & form -15G to the EPF office where your account is being maintained/administered.

      • Arunkumar says:
        January 29, 2017 at 1:09 pm

I read somewhere that those documents need to be digitally signed by employer? Is it mandatory? If yes, then what’s the process of doing it?

    I have one question, it would be of immense help if you can advise me.

    My PF record is from April 2013 till July 2016. It is updated on UAN portal and KYC is also completed . Do i need to submit form 15G/ form 15H for PF withdrawal ?

    The reason behind PF withdrawal is i have immigrated to other country. I have submitted all my IT returns. Additionally, what all documents do i need to attach along with form 19 and 10.

    Thanks in advance.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      January 4, 2017 at 2:36 pm

      Dear Jay,
      Surprisingly, EPFO is asking for Form 15G/H, from all the applicants.
      So you may have to enclose it along with EPF UAN based withdrawal forms, PAN card copy & cancelled Bank cheque leaf.

    Hi,
    Good Morning !!
    I have two query

    1) I have active UAN no with KYC detail updated on UAN service portal. But I have provided Pan no as KYC not Addhar card as KYC . Further KYC detail (PAN & Bank account )is also uploaded and approved by employer.
    Can I use Form 19 UAN & 10 C UAN for withdrawal.?
    I will attach copy of Addhar along with withdrawal form.

    2) Can i submit cancel check of other bank than which is uploaded in UAN database along with withdwal application. As this account is inactive.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      November 26, 2016 at 3:28 pm

      Dear Patel,
      1 – Verification of Aadhar number by your employer is essential.
      2 – No. In such a case, you need to update new Bank account number and have to submit concerned Cancelled cheque leaf only. Kindly take help of your ex-employer.

      • Patel Vaibhav says:
        November 28, 2016 at 10:54 am

        Dear Sreekanth,
        Thanks for your response.
        The concern is that organisation is shut down and there are no more employee in the company. If i upload the documents on server there will be no approval by employer.
        Can uploaded documents without approval is accepted by PF office.
        Please guide any other alternative way based on that we can claim withdraw of pf without employer signature.
        Your prompt response is much appreciated
        Thanks in advance

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          November 29, 2016 at 3:14 pm

          Dear Vaibhav,
          You can submit old format Withdrawal forms directly to EPFO (office where your account is maintained).
          You can submit affidavit mentioning about the closure of the company. You can get this document attested by a Gazetted officer.
          Do enclose copy of PAN card, cancelled cheque leaf and Form 15G (if required).

    Hi Sreekanth, this is very informative blog and you have explained everything in a very simple way. Could you please let me know if I can actually submit the forms 10 C and 19 in any of the nearby regional pf office or should I go to the pf office where my pf account was actually registered ? Actually I am from Kerala and my company’s pf accounts are in Chennai, TN. By the way I am unemployed currently and am preparing for competitive exams for the past 1.5 years.
    Also, is it necessary to have our name on the cheque leaf that we produce ? The registered a/c number in UAN has cheque bearing no name of mine.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      November 25, 2016 at 6:05 pm

      Dear Sajin,
      In person, not mandatory. You can even POST the forms to the PF office where your EPF a/c is being maintained.
      Yes, name should be there. Else, you can provide the copy of Passbook first page which has your name, bank account & IFSC code details.

    Hi Srikanth,
    Thanks for your informative article. I left previous employer in March of this year and did not serve the notice period due to health issues and have been unemployed since then therefore not contributing to PF. I have UAN number and recently received my Aadhar number this month which I am yet to link to UAN. My PF deductions have started only in 2013 as previously I was working on a contractual basis. I changed two companies in these three years and the PF account had been carried forward by my last employer. What are the forms I need to submit in this case without the help of my previous employer? I want to apply for full settlement of PF

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      November 25, 2016 at 6:04 pm

      Dear Johncy,
      If you want to apply directly , you have to upload your Aadhaar details, PAN, Bank account details in your UAN portal, and request your ex-employer to verify and approve them.

    Hi ,
    I resigned a year back.Currently i’m not working.Now I would like to withdraw my PF amount using UAN . Please help me with the queries that i have related to withdrawal process.

    1. I could see in the EPF member portal that my ex-employer had not updated leaving date. So ,Is it a must that leaving date must be updated before applying for PF using UAN ?My employer said KYC details were updated when I was in the organisation and now they do not have the facility to update my last working date. kindly Suggest a way to get the leaving date updated if it is mandatory .

    2. My name in the bank account that is linked to PF account is (G Adharsha) and name in Pf account is (Gaali Adharsha).Should the names in both accounts must be same?

    Thanks in advance.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      November 23, 2016 at 4:28 pm

      Dear Adharsha,
      1 – It is mandatory. Date of Exit is important. What is the reason that they are giving to you?
      2 – Yes, the names have to be the same.

    Hi Sreekanth,

    The article is informative and clear. Thanks for that.

    I need to ask that I left a company in Aug’15 after 3 years of service and joined some other company. Now I need to withdraw the amount from my previous company. From you article it quite clear that I need to fill Form 10C (UAN) and 19(UAN) and Form 15G along with that. But do I need to send any other document also like PAN copy or Adhaar copy or anything else provided that my KYC is done and duly signed by my previous employer.

    Thanks in advance.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      November 23, 2016 at 3:43 pm

      Are you currently employed and contributing to EPF scheme again?

        November 23, 2016 at 4:48 pm

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          November 25, 2016 at 6:00 pm

          Dear Vaibhav ..Then you have to transfer the funds from old EPF a/c to new PF a/c.

          • Vaibhav says:

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      November 22, 2016 at 12:13 pm

      Dear Sid,
      Yes, PAN has to be quoted.

      • Sreekanth Reddy says:
        November 23, 2016 at 11:03 am

        Dear Sid..Form 15G is not applicable as per the rule. But, based on my observations, EPFO/Employers are requesting for Form 15G and PAN card copy from all the applicants.

        • Sid says:
          November 24, 2016 at 7:31 am

          Thank you Sreekanth.

    • Sid says:

      Thanks Sreekanth. I have completed 5 years of service so I am assuming that Form 15G is not applicable to me, right? Also in the form they have mentioned that PAN has to be quoted only if service is less that 5 years. Please clarify.

          November 22, 2016 at 2:27 pm

          Hi Sreekanth,
          I tried to use the UAN based Form 31. But the issue is the AADHAR card was not tagged to that. In UAN portal it is showing PAN and my Bank details are already tagged by employer. I uploaded AADHAR card 15 days ago but it was not accepted yet, the status is pending. Meanwhile I thought to process with traditional Form 31.

          If you can help what to fill in point 7 of Form 31 New Declaration Form, it will be good for me.

    Can you point to the specific site where the forms can be submitted. I see provision for online transfer, but could not find anything for online withdrawal.

    Any help in this regard is very much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Dear Sreekanth,

    I have completed 8 Years in my company & now I want to withdraw my PF partially, appreciate if you could clarify below points.

    1) I already have UAN number & my Bank Account Number /PAN details are approved in the portal, but Adhaar is still not updated, is this mandatory to update Adhaar to withdraw PF partially without attestation of employer ?

    2) Ours is an ancestors property & the property has been transferred via registered document to me & my brother jointly & we are construction a house on the said property, can I withdraw the PF partially ?

    3) What are the documents should I submit for partial withdrawal & is it just form 31 or Form 31 (UAN)

    Regards,
    Vijay

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      October 17, 2016 at 12:22 pm

      Dear Vijay,
      1 – Yes, it is mandatory.
      2 – Yes.
      3 – Form 31 (if no Aadhar), self-declaration form & a copy of your Sale deed.

      • Vijay says:
        October 17, 2016 at 7:40 pm

        Thanks Sreekanth, I have uploaded my Adhaar today , how long does it take to get approved ?

        Also you are referring to a sale deed, but the property has come to us via a partition deed , which is registered, the partition deed clearly states that the property will be equally shared with both the parties( Myself & My Brother) will this suffice the requirement ?

        also there are many other properties mentioned in the same partition deed, do I need to submit the whole set of copy or just the sheet where the joint property would do ?

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          October 18, 2016 at 6:16 pm

          Dear Vijay,
          1 – Kindly check with your employer (for verification).
          2 – Yes, it would be sufficient.
          3 – May be specific property doc can be fine.

      Dear Madhu ..Are you currently employed and contributing to EPF scheme again?
      Kindly read this article, to know your UAN number (your ex-employer might have already created UAN for you). Once you know your UAN, visit UAN portal and check if your KYC details (PAN/Bank account/Aaadhar) have been approved and verified by your employer or not.
      If verified, you can submit the new UAN based EPF withdrawal forms directly to EPFO.

    I want to know two things.

    1 – Which new form to be use which does not require previous employer’s attestation.
    2 – Can I give cancelled cheque of other bank account which is not updated on UAN.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      October 6, 2016 at 4:23 pm

      2 – No.

  • Yogesh Kumar says:
    October 5, 2016 at 7:02 pm

    Hi Shrikant,

    Last year, I applied pf transferred from old company to new company. After one month only employee and employer.(i.e. ER + EE) contribution was came into new PF account but pension amount (i.e. EPS) was not transferred.

    After transferred, I generate and check my old PF statements where ER + EE was shown as withdrawn but eps amount was still there. I called to my previous employer and asked about it. They said that EPS amount can not be transferred so at the time of pf withdrawn, you will get this amount.

    Is it true…

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      October 6, 2016 at 3:59 pm

      Dear Yogesh,
      Yes, it is correct. The amount will not be transferred and not be reflected in Passbook. However, when you make EPF transfer, the service period for EPS related calculations gets accumulated/carry forwarded.

      • Yogesh Kumar says:
        October 12, 2016 at 12:48 pm

        Thanks Sheekant.

        I have one more query. In case, I go for withdrawn full pf amount then do I need to give current UAN no/current PF amount only or need to give additional old pf account to withdrawn old esp amount along with current pf.

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          October 12, 2016 at 6:12 pm

          Dear Yogesh,
          Yes, an employee will have only one UAN.
          You have to transfer the old EPF a/c monies to the new EPF a/c which is linked to UAN.
          If you are making withdrawal, you can quote current UAN & PF number in the withdrawal forms.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

      Dear Ajay..Aadhar number should be seeded and verified to submit UAN based EPF withdrawal forms. Else, you have to submit old forms through your employer.

  • ANUPAM SHEE says:

    1)Can I submit the old form 19 directly by post to EPFO office without any signature/seal of my old employer?
    2)Should the filled-up form be posted at the EPFO office where my PF no. is enrolled or can I submit it to any nearby zonal office?

    My wife had left her job 3-4 months ago and now she is not willing to work further more. We are planning to claim the EPF by filling UAN based form #19 without signatures of her employer.

    Can you elaborate if we need to fill form # 15G and 10C, please? Her PF amount is less than 30000/-

    Also please let me know after filling these forms, where should we post them? In regional EPF office in Bangalore or to Delhi office?

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      September 26, 2016 at 12:17 pm

      Dear Anand,
      Form 10c for EPS withdrawal.
      If your PF balance is less than Rs 50,000 then TDS is not applicable. However, surprisingly most of the employers/EPFO have been asking for Form-15G from all the applicants. Also, enclose cancelled cheque leaf and pan card copy.
      You need to send to the EPF office where her PF is managed.

I am unable to see the updated amount in my UAN account. Can you please let me know how can i view my current PF account balance?

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

    I HAVE LEFT MY COMPANY IN MARCH WITHOUT INFORM TO MY EMPLOYER. NOW I WANT TO WITHDRAW MY 10 MONTHS OF PF AMOUNT. MAY I SUBMIT MY EPF FORM WITHOUT EMPLYER SIGN OR SEAL. I ALSO DON’T HAVE UAN. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
    PLEASE TELL ME..

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      September 14, 2016 at 6:36 pm

      Dear Sumit..You can generate UAN online and quote it on old EPF withdrawal forms and then can submit them to EPFO directly (provided you are un-employed for more than 60 days). You may have to submit self-declaration form, PAN card copy, cancelled cheque leaf, Form 15g(if required) to EPFO in person. Kindly get these documents attested by a Gazetted officer (like bank manager/Tahasildar etc).

      • SUMIT says:

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:

    Hi Sreekanth Reddy,

    I left my company 2 months before and I am not in India currently. I would like to withdraw PF fully. My UAN and KYC details are seeded and verified on EPF website. I don’t have a blank cheque with me, Is this mandatory to withdraw PF? Can I send the signed forms to PF office from outside of INDIA?

    Please let me know details.

    Thanks
    Srinivas Reddy

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      September 14, 2016 at 12:35 pm

      Dear Srinivas ..Yes you can post them, but cheque leaf / Passbook first page (with bank a/c & IFSC code ) is mandatory I believe .

  • Navish says:
    September 12, 2016 at 10:29 am

    Hi, My UAN shows my KYC status for all the documents as pending.
    Does it mean that I will not be able to send the Form 19 and 10C directly to EPF but only through my employer?

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      September 14, 2016 at 12:30 pm

    My old company made a fraud and it is closed so there is no body to sign my PF claim form. Now, in my new company, I have opened a new PF account and I have mapped both pf accounts in the UAN portal. In that portal I have uploaded Aadhar Card and it is verified by my current employer. So now, can I use new PF withdrawal forms for my old PF account?

Here is the message i got from PF bommasandra office ” Presently, settlement of claims with more than one member_id linked to UAN is not possible though UAN claims.
    Hence, it is requested to submit normal claims through your Employer for settlement. ” makes the whole purpose of easy withdraw redundant as everyone wud have many PF accounts except in first job.

      Dear Premal,
      Suggest you to personally visit your respective EPF office and try submitting withdrawal form, affidavit (declaring that the companies are now closed), PAN card copy, Cancelled cheque leaf & Form 15G (if required) . Kindly get the documents attested with a Gazetted officer (like Bank manager where you have savings account, MLA, MP, Tahasildar etc.,)

    Dear Shreekanth,

    Please guide me for withdrawal of PF without the signature of employers.
    I was working for a Company (A) from July 2012 to 10th October 2014, (mumbai based pf office) latter I joined a new Company (B) from 18th October 2014 till 31st May, 2016 (Chennai based pf office).
    I received the uan no. from my first company (A) which was given to my second company (B).
    However the new company has not linked the UAN no. The problem now is both the companies
    have been closed down and there is nobody to assist me.
    I had submitted the form twice to my old company but they have not done anything yet.
    Another thing is that the KYC uploaded by me for UAN (AADHAR, PAN, BANK DETAILS)is still not approved by the old company (A).
    Understand that unless the kyc is verified by the employers I cannot withdraw the PF.
    Presently I am unemployed for more than two months and that is the reason I want to withdraw the amount to support my financial needs.
    Please guide me to get the funds at the earliest.
    Ashish Sreedharan

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      August 13, 2016 at 12:17 pm

      Dear Ashish,
      So, did the new company (B) issue you one more UAN? Do you currently have two UANs?

      • AshishSreedharan says:
        August 13, 2016 at 3:27 pm

        Dear Sreekanth

        No they haven’t . I am having only one UAN.

        I checked online they have neither linked my UAN to the new PF account nor they given me new UAN.

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          August 15, 2016 at 12:42 pm

          Dear Ashish,
          UAN is mandatory now. An employer has to link EPF a/c based on UAN and then they have to deposit the funds.
          Suggest you to personally visit your respective EPF office and try submitting withdrawal form, affidavit (declaring that the companies are now closed), PAN card copy, Cancelled cheque leaf & Form 15G (if required) . Kindly get the documents attested with a Gazetted officer (like Bank manager where you have savings account, MLA, MP, Tahasildar etc.,)

        Dear AYYAPPA,
        1- Not required if your KYC details are verified.
        2 – As of now, online withdrawal provision is not available.

  • puneet says:
    August 10, 2016 at 5:53 pm

    Thank you firstly for the infomative post. I downloaded new 19UAN , 10cUan forms to withdraw my 1 year pf. Since total amount in pf and pension is under 30ooo i dont need 15g nor i need 31uan as i want full amount only. My UAN portal shows my aadhar and bank details verified by employer. (Please correct if i am wrong in any point )

    What im confused is where to courier the forms as my pf account is in SUB REGIONAL OFFICE: BOMMASANDRA while its regional office is peenya. Do i courier to peenya or bommasandra ?

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      August 11, 2016 at 2:35 pm

      Dear puneet ..I believe that your EPF a/c is maintained by Bommasandra office, suggest you to courier the docs to them.

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I am working in a private company for about 7 years, I will be soon resigning from the company and would like to withdraw full money for my personal use.

    I was told as per the new policy in the last budget I won’t be allowed to withdraw full amount, is it so? If not please suggest the procedures to withdraw the money after resignation. I am 39 years old.

    Regards,

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

    Hi,

    Please answer these questions for me.

    1.My HR says that UAN card is enough to apply for PF withdrawal. Is it correct?

    2. Am presently in bangalore, so can I use a different bank account (from a different state) and update the same on UAN portal and apply for PF withdrawal?

    3. Once I update KYC on the UAN portal do I need to inform my employer to approve ?

    Thanks,

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      August 9, 2016 at 6:21 pm

      Dear Sitlhou,
      1 – Yes. You can apply for withdrawal through UAN based forms directly.
      2 – Yes but your employer has to approve your kyc details (bank account)
      3 – Yes.

      • KM Sitlhou says:
        August 9, 2016 at 6:27 pm

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          August 10, 2016 at 12:37 pm

    Could you help me with my query.
    I worked with a company A during 2008-2011(3.5 Years of service) and Company B from 2011-2012 (1year) and I am currently not working since 2012. I recently applied for withdrawal of PF from both companies following the new rules like UAN and KYC details approved. I forgot to attach 15G forms for both companies but mentioned my PAN number on form 19 and form 10c. Are both PFs taxable(both above 50000) ? please let me know ..

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      August 6, 2016 at 6:19 pm

      Dear Mahi ..If you are employed and contributing to EPF, your withdrawal application can be rejected. Suggest you to transfer the old EPF a/c monies to your new EPF a/c.

    Dear All,

    I have worked with an Organization (say 01) from Apr 2011 to June 2014. Genereated UAN using the 01 PF No. during 2014. Joined New Company in July 2014 and on rolls now. My new company(say 02) has generated one more UAN No. using current PF Account and given the details to me.
    But, I have not linked my 01 PF account with my new UAN No. i.e., 02 PF Account.

    Now, I want to withdraw the amount of 01 organization(without linking/transferring to new one). I completed 5 yrs since Apr 2011. Will this be allowewd…?? What forms I need to submit..n what to know the process…?? How long it may take for the PF office to settle the account….??

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

      Dear Ram Prasad,
      Ideally you have to have only one UAN.
      Suggest you to inform your current employer & EPFO and deactivate the old UAN and then transfer old EPF a/c monies to the new one.

    hi,

    I was with my earlier employer for 2.4 years. Now I have joined job overseas. I will be taxed if I withdraw my EPF now as I have not completed 5 years.
    If I withdraw my PF after 2.6 years (2.4 with emplyer+2.6 waiting period=total 5 years) will it be still taxable.
    The 5 year lock-in period is the age of PF account or period of service.

    Thanks in advance for your advise & help.

I have now filed a of claim for withdrawal but now it says Status : Claim Form 19 for PF Settlement AGAINST Member Account No (MHBAN00456650000184881) has been rejected. Rejection letter is under dispatch/ dispatched to address in your claim form.
    Reason of rejection: CERTIFICATE A/B/C/D/E/F NOT ENCLOSED / SIGNED
    Remarks by DA/AO:DUE TO TECHNICAL PROBLEM OF ECR FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL 2016 CLAIM REJECTED & KEPT PENDING/OK. What does this mean?
    1. Do I get absolutely no money( I have no information about 10c being rejected)
    2. Do I have to file my claim again so that would mean the entire process all over again at their own sweet time?

      So, probably looks like some issue from your employer side. Kindly check with your employer too.

    Along with the PF claim for withdrawal, my employer has also submitted a letter for name correction with proof.

    My concern is the “No Record Found” status. Does this mean that my forms have not been submitted?

    Should I wait for some more time or should I raise a grievance, please advise.

      Dear Madhu,
      You mean to say that ‘name correction form’ & withdrawal forms have been submitted at the same time??
      Suggest you to wait for some more time before raising your grievance ..

    Hi,

    Suppose i resigned from my previous organization on 31st March’16 and joined a new firm on 1st April’16 and my UAN details are linked in the portal. So, am i eligible for the PF Withdrawal through UAN based forms? if not what is the alternate procedure for the same.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

    Dear SIr,

    I started my career in 2009 and there after i changed my job twice.
    So its 2009 – 2012 with a firm
    2012 to 2016 in second firm
    2016 may i joined new firm.
    I withdrew my pf from first firm in 2012 when i resigned.

    I have plans to withdraw my pf as im in need to funds for loan repayment.

    Now my queries are:
    1) has my UAN remained same from 2009?
    2) Is my service calculated on latest UAN available or the day since my pf deductions began in 2009? coz i dunno what my UAN was in forst firm.
    3) My new PF number isnt generated here at new firm and my HR said t will be generated after two successive entries of pf, so can i withdraw now ?
    4) WIll TDS be applicable on entore withdrawl in my scenario?

    Thanks and regards
    vIpin

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      July 18, 2016 at 7:34 pm

      Dear Vipin,
      1 – UAN is a new provision which has been recently launched.
      2 – As you have withdrawn 1st EPF a/c balance, that service period (2009-2012) will not be added up / carry forwarded.
      – You can transfer the second EPF a/c monies to your new EPF a/c through UAN portal. You can have cumulative service period of around 4 years.
      3 – As you are contributing to EPF scheme, you can not make full balance withdrawals.
      4 – Yes, if your service period is less than 5 years (2012-2016).

    Hi,
    I have worked 5.3 years in previous company. And I have resigned and joined new company. Is it possible to withdraw my PF?
    When I approach my previous employer, they send the mail like below;
    “PF Withdrawal process can be initiated only if you are unemployed or taken up employment outside India. In case, you are employed in another organization in India you can initiate transfer process from current employer. Please confirm on the same so we can guide you through PF Withdrawal/Transfer procedure.”

    Please confirm whether i can withdraw my PF. Expecting ur reply. Its urgent.
    Also, If i say that currently i am unemployed will it be a problem. Please advice. Thanks

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      July 13, 2016 at 7:56 pm

      Dear Subbu,
      No. Suggest you to transfer the monies.
      If your new company gives you new EPF account, that will be linked to UAN. So, EPFO knows that you are employed, can reject your withdrawal application.

      • subbu says:
        July 13, 2016 at 11:29 pm

        Thanks for your quick response.

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I worked for ‘Company A’ from Oct’2013 to Oct’2015.

    I joined a new ‘Company B’ in Oct’2015, currently working in the same. But I am going to get relieved from this job by 31st July’2016 and I am not going to work after that.

    I have not transferred my PF money from company A to company B.
    I have UAN number where my previous and current PF accounts are linked.

    Can you please suggest me whether I should
    1) transfer the amount from ‘Company A’ to ‘Company B’ and then later I need to withdraw the total amount from ‘Company B’ (or)
    2)Withdraw from both ‘Company A’ and ‘Company B’ after 60 days of unemployment after 31st July’2016(my last working day)

    Awaiting your response.

      Dear Divya,
      Both options should be OK after 60 days of unemployment.
      But my personal suggestion would be to transfer old EPF a/c monies to current one and then withdraw full balance after 2 months.
      Kindly do this only if you are confident that your current employer is very supportive.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      July 7, 2016 at 12:15 pm

      Dear Madhu,
      Though Form 15G is not applicable in few cases, EPFO/employer may ask for it. So, suggest you to submit it along with the withdrawal forms, PAN card copy & cancelled cheque leaf.
      Yes, to your EPF regional office where your a/c is being maintained (you can also submit the old forms to your employer).

      1 – Kindly read Table Num 1. It clearly states that least of the three (basic wages or total balance or actual cost).
      2 – Suggest you to get it to your account.
      3 – If it is through a home loan, it can be before or after.In your case you can submit ‘Agreement of sale’ and self-declaration and can get the amount before the purchase/registration.
      4 – Yes.
      5 – Depends, can be within 30 days.
      6 – Your regional PF office address.

    Hi Sreekanth,

    Two queries

    My ex employer says that due to finalisation of accounts for FY 2015 to 2016, the PF office is not accepting the claim forms. I called the office and they say that they are collecting the forms; it could have been a miscommunication or are there times in the year when PF offices do not accept claim forms. If yes, for how long don’t they accept any claim forms?

    Second query. In all my official IDs – PAN, Aadhar – my initials have not been expanded. However, on the UAN portal my initials have been expanded to show my surname. Will this be an issue if I apply on my own? My passport has my complete expanded name.

    My employer has been very cooperative until now, but I need the funds urgently for personal issues.

    Please suggest what I should do.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      June 25, 2016 at 7:04 pm

      Dear Madhu,
      During Feb to April 2016, EPFO did not accept or processed the applications due to lot of confusion regarding the new rules. But now, they are accepting the forms and servicing the claims.
      If your name in Aadhar & UAN portal do not match, you may check with EPFO / employer and submit for NAME CORRECTION REQUEST.

    My PF number is yet to link with the UAN by the previous employer. When i enter my pf number for UAN generation that is giving the message that
    *****”Confirmation of first time employment/previous employment in your case is pending with your employer. Please contact your employer”****
    When I contact them they are making delay and excuses.
    What is the way to create my UAN in this scenario?

    HI Sreekant,

    I really appreciate the service that you are providing. My question is as below. I really hope you can help me with the same.

    I left company ‘A’ 5 years back in May 2011. I joined company ‘B’ in June 2011. I now want to withdraw the PF accumulated in company ‘A’ as the previous PF account has become inoperative. I want to use From 19 UAN. My UAN is activated along with Adhaar, PAN and BANK account details. When I go to my UAN it says that employer has validated it. If I am to understand this must be my current employer. As UAN is already active it should not really matter who has validated it correct? So when I submit form 19 UAN without the physical attestation from my previous employer ‘A’, will it cause a problem?

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

      Dear Pallav..If you are currently employed and contributing to EPF Scheme, the EPFO can reject your withdrawal application. Suggest you to kindly transfer your old EPF ac money to the new a/c.

      Dear Tanay,
      You can inform your Employer & EPFO and can get the old UAN number deactivated.
      You may then transfer the old PF A/c money to the new one.

    Hi Reddy garu,

    I am Yousuf Shaik from Kadapa. I have worked in a company for 2.3 years and left the job in march 2016. I have UAN and my aadhar, bank details and PAN card all are seeded and approved by employer. My PF regional office is Kukatpally.

    1) Can i submit New form 19 UAN and 10c UAN to Kukatpally office directly?
    2) My PF amount is around 25,000 (less than 30,000), so my question is that do i need to mention my PAN number in form 19 UAN or can i left blank?

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      June 22, 2016 at 6:35 pm

      Dear Yousuf,
      1 – Yes.
      2 – You may better provide the PAN number. TDS is not applicable in your case. Read: EPF withdrawals & new TDS rules.

      • Yousuf Shaik says:
        June 23, 2016 at 2:37 pm

        Hi Reddy garu,

        Thank you for your prompt response. After resigning my previous job, I had joined with a new company in April 2016.

        I didn’t give my UAN number to new company but i got new PF member ID.

        This new company PF member ID is not linked to my UAN. (also i didn’t transfer my previous company PF to new one)

        At this movement can i eligible for withdraw my previous company PF, EPS or not?

        Thanks and regards,
        Yousuf Shaik

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          June 25, 2016 at 6:29 pm

          Dear Yousuf..Kindly give your old UAN to your new employer, link the new EPF a/c and then transfer old PF a/c money to the new one.

    Hi,

    Just wanted to understand what needs to be filled in for “Date of Joining” and “Date of Leaving” fields in the new 10C EPS withdrawal UAN form?

    Is it the date of joining that of the last job? or Date of joining the EPS scheme (from thereon.. never having withdrawn it. instead transferred it always)

    Thanks,

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      June 20, 2016 at 12:48 pm

      Dear Swetha,
      I believe that they are Dates related to your Employment. You may also re-check with your ex-employer.

    Hi SreeKanth,

    My Previous employee is HCL tech., Chennai and i have UAN based PF account. i have gone through your replies and understood that , i can withdraw my PF without employer validations/signature, as my PAN and bank account has been validated and updated by HCL in epfo site.

    Now i have moved to Hyderabad and transferred my ICICI account to Hyderabad branch. My account number is same but IFSC code has been changed. can i update the new IFSC code in EPFO site?. if YES, does HCL approves that automatically or i need to contact accounts dept of HCL to get it approved?.

    i have download “Form – 19 (UAN)” for applying my PF. is this form enough, or i need to attest any additional documents.

    Kindly help me on above and correct me if i am woring

    Br,
    Sundeep Reddy

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      June 17, 2016 at 10:30 am

      Dear Sundeep..Are you employed now and contributing to EPF scheme?
      You have to request your Ex-employer to approve the same. Has your Aadhar been seeded to your UAN?

      • SUNDEEP REDDY says:
        June 17, 2016 at 1:24 pm

        Yes.I’m employed now but I have New UAN number from present employer. I didn’t provide old UAN number to my present employer during joining.so to avoid this I’m planning to withdraw my old pf and continue New pf.

        For old UAN, only bank account and pan card has been approved. Do i need to map aadhaar as well. If yes, Will it affect my new UAN? . Becoz adhaar is mapped to my new UAN

        Kindly guide me how to proceed further

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          June 18, 2016 at 12:17 pm

          Dear SUNDEEP..Kindly note that an employee can have only one UAN number. Suggest you to get old UAN deactivated and transfer old PF money to new one.

    Hi,

    I was working with L & T Infotech until 2010 and I have done my pf withdrawal already, After that I was employed as a contract where there was no pf deduction. Now my present employer ask me to generate UAN and when I try to generate the UAN based on my L&T Infotech pf no it says name and date of birth mismatch. I was told that once withdrawn you cant generate a UAN based on that. Is that so. If so, what I can do for generating UAN. Kindly advice

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      June 15, 2016 at 7:55 pm

      Dear Prabou,
      If you have made withdrawal of L&T PF then why would you like to link your old PF a/c with UAN?
      You can generate UAN without PF number and then can link your existing (current employer’s PF) EPF a/c to it.

    June 13, 2016 at 10:33 pm

    Sreekanth,
    I have information about new form 31 [UAN enabled one] but i want to know where should i submit it. Can i submit it online, if yes, where? OR do i have to submit it manually to regional PF office?

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      June 15, 2016 at 10:39 am

      Dear Louis ..As of now online provision is not available. You may have to send it to your Regional PF office.

      • Louis says:
        June 20, 2016 at 10:57 am

        Thanks Sreekanth.
        So just to be clear.
        I am filling Form 31 UAN enabled. My adhar, PAN and Bank details are approved by my employer already and are linked with UAN and are showing in UAN website as well.
        Along with Form 31, I have also download the declaration form [wherin I need to furnish the site related details].
        Q1: Declaration form has asked for Employer signature also, with this new UAN enabled form 31, do we need to get employer signature in declaration form?
        Q2: I am buying a flat, which is still being constructed and I only have agreement for the same. I have mentioned purpose as “Purchase of Flat”.. do I need to be more specific like purchase for consutruction of Flat. sounds naïve but I don’t want to have issues because of this?
        Q3: This declation form has one of the points which says “The above said flat….is registered on my name …” but registration is not happened, since it is still being consutructed. Does that mean I just need to ignore this point?

        Thanks,
        Louis

          June 20, 2016 at 12:50 pm

          Dear Louis,
          1 – I believe that it is not required. But it is better you re-check with your employer too.
          2 – You may mention it as ‘under-construction flat’.
          3 – Yes, you may do so.

    Hi Shree,

    My Name is Chetan Nailwal and i am withdrawing my Previous companies PF.
    My KYC are updated and approved by my Employer, but i can see 2 bank account details that have been approved, but i am not using both the bank account mentioned on the UAN. My New company has provided me a new salary account, so do i need to update the new bank account and then get it approved and then apply or can i apply and send the cancelled cheque for the new bank account where i want the cash to be transferred.

    On the New UAN based form do we need a revenue stamp?

    Regards,
    Chetan Nailwal

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      June 15, 2016 at 10:38 am

      Dear Chetan,
      If both the PF a/c numbers are linked to UAN portal, I believe that once the transfer happens automatically. If not, then you can submit online Transfer request.

    I am very confused with taxability on Partial Withdrawal of PF. I want to withdraw from my PF Account, which is over 15 years old, for Purchase of a flat.

    Will I be taxed on the withdrawal? Will EPFO deduct TDS on the withdrawal? Request your guidance on this.

    Hi Sreekanth,

    Read your post, comments and advises. You are awesome.
    But I was unable to get a clear picture that would help me out. Please try to help me.
    1. I was working for a company from May 2014 to October 2014. They have deducted my PF however there is a glitch. If my salary was 60,000 for example, they would deduct 1200+1200 from my salary. When we the employees would ask them why are they deducting 1200 two times from our salary, instead it is the company who should be equally contributing to it, they would say that the 1200 is a cost company is paying for you. So it is a CTC and hence will be deducted from your monthly salary. Anyways.
    2. I was asking them to provide me PF Number for last 1.8 years but they were not providing me. Just today they gave me PF number. I was able to get my UAN number too myself and logged in to the website. However it says it will take 4 days to show up my Passbook after activation of UAN, so i got to wait.
    3. From November 2014 to May 2015 I was unemployed. From May 2015 to September 2015, I worked with a company that did not have PF. Again I was unemployed till February 2016.
    4. February 2016 till date, I am employed but my current company too does not have PF scheme.

    I would like to withdraw whatever amount is there in my PF Account which I have contributed from May 2014 to October 2014. I have spent enough time on the government websites and also private websites which say they guide in withdrawing PF. But here is my finding:
    1. There is no option to withdrawn the PF and get that money in my bank account on the government website.
    2. I can transfer the money from this ex-employer’s PF to my current company’s PF account. However my current company does not have PF scheme. So I cannot do this.
    3. I know I can download PF withdrawal form online, fill it. But where do it send it? My ex-employer with whom I have contributed to that PF, is not co-operative and is not helping me withdraw it.
    4. This is the detail of my ex-employer PY/KRP/0052253/000/. Based on this, can you help me find address as which I need to send Form 19 after filling it?
    5. Can an individual apply online/offline to withdraw PF by himself, without taking help from the ex-employer?

    Really looking forward to your help as I can then guide many more people who are confused like me. Appreciate your time.

    Regards

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      June 11, 2016 at 10:38 am

      Dear Monica,
      3 & 5 – Yes you can submit the new UAN based EPF forms directly to EPFO without your ex-employer’s seal/sign. But your UAN should have been seeded with Aadhar, bank & PAN details and have been verified by your ex-employer.
      Even if this is not the case, you can first try submitting your grievance with EPFO at click here.. and escalate this issue if they are not co-operating with your for PF withdrawal.
      Kindly note that you can submit old EPF forms (but mention UAN number on forms), submit self-declaration (affidavit) that you are currently unemployed and get them attested with a notarary/gazetted officer (instead of your employer) and then submit the forms to PF office.

    Thanks a lot for providing information regarding epf which was a black box for me before visiting your blog.

    I need some information regarding partial withdrwal of my pf amount. I am purchasing a house and I have submitted the required documents to pf office for partial withdrawal. (purchase agreement, form 31, declaration etc). I have almost 7 lakhs in my PF account and in the form I have applied for 7 Lakhs as the advance requirement.

    I have few questions and will be helpful if can answer these.

    1. Will I get 7 lakhs as it is there in my PF account. If not what will be the amount.
    2. Will the PF office adjust the amount and process the withdrawal if I am not eligible to withdraw 7 lakhs? or will it reject the application?
    3. What will be the time taken for processing the withdrawals.
    4. What is the maximum amount that we can withdraw for purchasing a house (I have 7 lakhs in my account).

    Thanks in Advance,

I have gone through some site spel yours. i go the basic. i would like to know in an organization, can org define 15000 as margin for employees and calculate the EPF though people get 50k sth like that, is it good doing like that for employees sack so that their take home will be more.

    Secondly, if the employee basic is more then 15000 then i read on some of the websites saying that, it’s their (employees) wish to go for EPF and EPS account is it correct?

    If it is right for the company then tell me how to follow that procedure, is there any document or form like that to follow in an organization? Please do help in that sir thank you.

      Dear sankarnath,
      I believe that the choice to go for EPF or not is given only if an employee is taking up his/her first job.

      Dear Nagesh..You may have to route the withdrawal request through your ex-employer only. Also, you have to generate UAN (if you do not have one) and quote it on the withdrawal forms.

      Dear Pratik,
      I believe that your old Employer can verify your KYC details.
      Is your old & new member ids (EPF a/cs) are linked to UAN?

        Yes it is linked. I can see 2 accounts there.

          Dear Pratik,
          As both the member-IDs (old & new) are linked to UAN, the online transfer would have been initiated automatically .

    Please clarify also that what components are uses for deductions from my salary and if yes then how much(%) each.
    With reference to TDS I want to ask that Am I eligible for form 16.
    In Office order copy, My Gross Salary shows 15614/-
    But when I inquired in the office, they said that your basic is 11000/-
    After deduction, You’ll get in hand 9487/-
    And I received cheque of Rs. 8855/- in hand.
    So please Sir clarifies my all queries.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

      Dear Vikram,
      Yes, contract basis employees can also contribute to EPF/EPS. Kindly check with your employer if they have such provision.
      If the number of employees is 20, your employer has to provide EPF provision.

    Hi Sreekanth,

    My profile is updated with Adhaar, PAN and bank details in KYC. I would send 19UAN, 10UAN and PAN copy along with cancelled cheque to EPFO.

    I served for 4Y and 11M in the organization and left in Feb 2016. now looking to withdraw.

    Prior to this, I have worked in 2 companies for 2 years and 1.5 years respectively. My PF would be more than 50k and should I submit 15G? Also, let me know when you say 5 years consideration for TDS deduction. Am I fall in more than 5 years category?

    Also, please let me know along with form 19UAN, 10C UAN, cancelled check and PAN copy. Anything missing? Hope you will not suggest me to go through some links to read. I already read and not understand. Please confirm in simple way.

    Raju

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      May 13, 2016 at 11:29 am

      Dear Raju,
      Your service is more than 5 years, hence PF withdrawal is not taxable.
      Form 15G can be submitted if your total interest income is below the basic exemption limit and your net income (gross-tax deductions) is not liable to income tax for this FY 2016-17.

    Dear Srikanth,

    I have left my previous company and joined state government in 2013. I have submitted my PF withdrawal forms on my last day and due to some problem I didn’t get my PF amount.
    Recently I have got my UAN no. and found that my Bank details were seeded where as AADHAR no. is not got seeded as AADHAR is not mandatory in 2013.
    Now I am going to apply UAN based form 19 and form 10C with attested AADHAR copy by a gazetted officer.
    Do I have to submit form 19 and 10C separately or together and to whom I have to address these forms?
    Thank you.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      May 12, 2016 at 1:37 pm

      Dear Suresh,
      If Aadhar is not seeded then your UAN based withdrawal forms might not be processed.
      Also, if you are not contributing to EPF a/c for more than 3 years, your account would have become INOPERATIVE.

        1. Do I have to submit form 19 and 10C separately or together and to whom I have to address these forms?

        2. To submit old form 19 and 10C, Do I need employer permission?

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          May 13, 2016 at 11:24 am

          Dear Suresh,
          1 – You can contact your ex-employer and submit the withdrawal forms to them.
          2 – Your ex-employer will then submit to EPFO for processing..

    1. Can i withdraw the PF by filling PF through UAN withdrawal form even if the last organisation has PF Trust?
    2. Will my PF attract any TDS as i left in Jan 2016, i am waiting to get 5 years completed, so will these 5 years still continue if i withdraw it after a month from now?

      Dear KARTHICK,
      You can create & activate UAN by yourself. After creating UAN, you can seed Aadhar, bank & personal details.
      You can quote this UAN in old EPF withdrawal forms (you may not be eligible to submit new UAN based forms as the KYC details are not approved).
      You can submit one affidavit form as you are withdrawing the PF after few years duly notarized directly to EPFO.

    Can you please tell me what is the procedure to withdraw the pf amount. Do I need to submit UAN form 10c and 11

      Dear Raj,
      Only one UAN is allotted to one employee. If UAN is already created by your previous employer then you need to give that num to your new employer.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      April 18, 2016 at 2:38 pm

      Dear thapaswi..The minimum waiting period to withdraw PF is 60 days from the date of your resignation. If so, you can withdraw your PF. You need to submit Form 19, Form 10c, PAN card copy and cancelled cheque leaf.

    Hi

    I have PF balances in three different PF Accounts linked now to single UAN.
    Overall I have completed more than 8 years of service. In one of the PF Account, the balance from earlier organisation was transferred and this Account alone amounts to more than 5 years. If I opt for withdrawal now, will I get the balances from all the three PF Accounts and what would be the Tax impact

    Regards

    Mustafa

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      April 12, 2016 at 12:14 pm

      Dear Mustafa..As your contributions are for more than 5 years, there won’t be any tax implications on the withdrawals.
      However kindly note that as you are currently employed, you can not withdraw full balance.

        Hi Sreekanth

        Thanks for your time and clarity.

        If I do wish to go ahead with partial withdrawal, can I submit the documents to EPFO and later go ahead with Purchase of the house / Loan Repayment. Is it a pre-requisite that an sale agreement should be executed already OR in presence of existing loan, then only I can ask for partial withdrawal.

        Also I heard EPFO is soon launching online withdrawal facility. If this is already available, can you please share the link. I tried my best to check but couldnt find the link

        Regards

        Mustafa

          Dear Mustafa,
          Yes, EPFO would like to receive any document which meets the condition/criteria for the partial withdrawal.
          As of now, online withdrawal facility not yet launched but we can expect this in this Financial Year.

        Hello Srikanth, I have 2 Pf accounts linked with my UAN. With the first employer, i worked 2 Yrs and 6 Months, but with the second employer, only 2 Months. Now i have started a business, i want to withdraw PF. Heard one should only submit withdrawal form with the latest employer, With latest pf num. and UAN. I did that. Now the Chennai office has only processed pf of last employer, that is of 2 Months. What shall i do? STATUS of prev. Pf id shows “No records found” till now.

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          April 28, 2016 at 12:24 pm

          Dear Vineeth,
          If you have not transferred the PF balance which is with first employer to the second one then you can get 2months PF balance only.
          Now, if you would like to withdraw the first PF a/c balance then you may have to contact your first employer and route the withdrawal application through them.

      Dear Sanjay..As long as your EPF a/c status is ’employed’ the EPFO may reject your withdrawal request, even if you apply directly.
      So suggest you to approach your employer and get this done in a formal way.

In my previous company i was on LWP till 30 April 2015. I didn’t get any salary of month April 2015, from my prev employer. Now when i am applying for online transfer they are rejected my claim online. They are telling you were employee till april 2015. What should i do now. Please provide any solution for this issue.

      Dear Shailendra,
      Did you link your previous epf a/c (member-id) to your UAN?
      If so, I believe that as soon as your new member-id (new epf a/c) is linked to UAN, your old PF monies would get transferred to the new one.
      Kindly re-check with your new employer about this.
      Did you come out of the organization formally? (by giving resignation)

      • Shailendra says:
        March 16, 2016 at 10:47 am

        Yes my prev epf and new epf account linked with UAN. But issue is my prev company considering my last working day 30april 2015 and in current employer pf activated from 2nd april 2015. I am not able to transfer claim online because of validations on date. How can i get this money.

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          March 16, 2016 at 12:09 pm

          Dear Shailendra..In such a scenario, your ex-employer only has to help you out. Request them to make the date of leaving the org as in march only.
          Later you can get the new UAN/old UAN either of it de-activated.
          Kindly take help of your new-employer too.
          You may submit your grievance to EPFO too..

    Dear. sir
    I left my job March 2014 and now i want clam my pf money right now i Have UAN number in there i fell my KYC before 2 months ago but still pending because previous company are already closed what to do please help me..

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      March 7, 2016 at 12:36 pm

      Dear krishan,
      If you are not employed now, suggest you to contact the EPFO and submit the forms directly.
      As your KYC is not verified, you have to submit old EPF forms (non UAN based), self-declaration affidavit attested by any gazetted officer, PAN copy, cancelled cheque leaf, form 15G (if required).
      Also note that as per new rules, you can withdraw only your share + interest.
      Read:
      EPF withdrawal rules 2016.
      EPF & TDS rules.

      • krishan kumar b.k says:
        March 7, 2016 at 6:02 pm

        Thank you sir

        yes i have not employed now my services is already complete 6 years previous company please tell me from 15G is required or not.

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          March 9, 2016 at 12:42 pm

          Dear krishan..If your total expected income in a given financial year is below basic exemption limit, you can submit Form 15g.
          Since your service period is > 5 years, Form-15g is not required.
          But I have also observed that EPFO is asking for Form 15G from everyone.

    Dear Sir,

    I worked in an Indian firm for 3 years. I was terminated from my job on 30/06/2015 and have not joined anywhere else. Now I want to withdraw my PF money. I also have my UAN registered and my KYCs are my PAN and bank Account number. So I just wanted to know:
    1. Can I withdraw my PF online without approval from employer
    2. Do I have to pay taxes on my PF money though I am unemployed
    3. Should I use old form 19 or new Form 19 (UAN)

    Please reply !

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      February 25, 2016 at 2:43 pm

      Dear Anil,
      1 & 3 – EPFO has not yet launched online withdrawal facility. If your KYC details are verified by your ex-employer, you can submit new PF withdrawal forms to EPFO directly.
      2 – Kindly read : EPF withdrawal new TDS rules.

    Can you please guide me to take decision for transfer of PF. I have two PF account, for first one, I left the company almost 3 years back and I didn’t transfer the amount to my present PF account. Now I would like to leave the job and would like to join to other company. Now shall I transfer the old amount to my present a/c first and then transfer to my future a/c or I can transfer both the a/c (old & present) individually to my future a/c in the new company. Can my present co stop / delay transfer of my PF amount to my future a/c. Also let me know the maximum time period for which the interest of PF balance amount of old a/c, which I have not transferred till the date, will be credited to my a/c.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      February 25, 2016 at 4:17 pm

      Dear DC,
      If your UAN is active and kyc is done, you can just submit your UAN details to your new employer. The transfer of your existing EPF monies would be automatically gets transferred to your new EPF a/c (new member-id).
      In case of your old epf a/c (3 years back one), assuming it was allotted before UAN portal came into existence, you can submit online Transfer request through UAN portal, so that those funds too will get transferred to your new member-id.

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          February 18, 2016 at 10:56 am

          Dear Divya,
          An employee can have only one UAN. Request your employer to delete the new UAN and link your new EPF a/c to old UAN.
          You can then transfer your old EPF a/c monies to new EPF a/c.

          Your new employer can also submit a letter to the EPFO requesting the old UAN be removed. Report about this to new employer immediately.

      Dear Arun,
      If you are submitting old EPF forms with employer attestation and through your employer, then KYC is not mandatory. But quoting your UAN number on withdrawal forms is mandatory. Also, if possible request your ex-employer to verify your KYC details.

      Dear Sourabh..You can contact EPFO directly and submit Withdrawal forms. TDS is not applicable in this scenario, as the company is closed (it is beyond your control). Are you employed now?

      • Sourabh says:
        February 10, 2016 at 12:33 pm

        Hi Sreekanth

        No. I am not employed now.
        The company has closed their center in that city. As I am not living in that city now, I was wondering whether withdrawal can be done without visiting EPFO center.

        Regards
        Sourabh

          February 10, 2016 at 3:32 pm

          Dear Sourabh,
          You can submit EPF withdrawal form & self declaration form (affidavit) stating that the company is closed with attestation from gazetted officers.
          You may also have to enclose Form 15G (if applicable), PAN copy & cancelled cheque.
          Kindly read : EPF withdrawals & new TDS rules.

    Hi Sree,

    I want to withdraw the PF amount which was deducted with my previous employer.I have worked continuously 5+ years.
    I do not have a Adhaar number,however, I checked my KYC status with the UAN number online it is showing my
    PAN card and bank address as “Approved by Employer” and linked too.
    Do i have to contact my previous employer to withdraw the PF amount or I can directly apply with the new process?

    Thanks in Advance..!

    January 29, 2016 at 11:18 am

    Hi Sree,

    One more query, its mentioned that the amount I can withdraw (for purchase of site) could be 24 times of my salary (Basic + DA) OR my and employer contribution with interest. I have a doubt on second clause – How can I calculate the interest part. Suppose online portal (UAN) is showing some 6,00,000 in my PF account (my + employer contribution), then HOW MUCH MAXIMUM AMOUNT I can withdraw from my account.

    Thank you so much for your support.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      January 30, 2016 at 12:05 pm

      Dear Achal..If they require more information other than the details mentioned by you in the form 31, they (EPFO) will surely contact you.

  • Achal says:
    January 28, 2016 at 6:12 pm

    Hi,
    First off thanks for the blog – its very informative.

    I am doing partial withdrawal from my pF account, my details are already verified in my UAN account. So I should use the latest Form UAN 31, kindly let me know what all other documents are required alongwith this document. I read that one declaration form is needed (please let me know what declaration) and also if any other documents has to be attached.

    Tons of thanks.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      January 28, 2016 at 8:02 pm

      Dear Achal..It depends on the purpose of advance.
      Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawals – rules & guidelines.

      • Achal says:
        January 29, 2016 at 11:15 am

        Thanks Sree.
        As per this link, only Form 31 and declaration is required. The question is nowhere I have to mention the address of site which I am purchasing and letter of allotment from agency is mentioned. Its confusing how they will verify.

  • SRIDHARA BHAT says:
    January 28, 2016 at 1:46 pm

    DEDUCTION OF TDS ON EPF CLAIM(19 AND 10C) IS VERY BAD. BECAUSE THESE FUNDS ARE FIRSTLY UTILISED BY THE GOVERNMENT DIRECTLY. AT THE TIME OF CLAIM ONLY THEY RECEIVE THE AMOUNT . MORE THAT 80 % SUBSCRIBERS OF EPF ARE IN RURAL AREAS AND THEY WERE NO OPT FOR SAVINGS OTHER THAN THIS EPF FUND… HENCE, THE EPF ORGANISATION MAY WITHDRAW THE IMPOSE OF TDS FOR CLAIM BEFORE 5 YRS OR MORE THAN RS.30,000 ..

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      January 28, 2016 at 8:01 pm

      Dear SRIDHARA..Kindly note that even if TDS is not deducted, the withdrawn amount is subject to taxes (if claimed before 5 years).

    January 25, 2016 at 2:05 pm

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I was working with a company for 2 years and left my job in July 2015. Still I have not received my PF. Even, when I checked my employer, they was not helpful in the process and said to do it directly from my end. Now the problem is that, I don’t have a pancard and I am in need of money very urgently as I have to give my house advance.

    I was just going through the details online to get it done without pancard. But, I am unable to understand the process. Can you please help me out in withdrawing my PF with out pancard. (Note :- For applying pancard and receiving, it will take another 2 months easily. Hence, I can not go through that long process now).

    Kindly suggest me the option and procedure to apply for PF without Pancard number..

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

        Can you please let me know what are the documents required and what all the forms I should be submitting in PF office.

        Please help me in this where I can understand what all the documents to be submitted if I don’t have a pancard.

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          January 25, 2016 at 5:42 pm

          Dear Madhuri,
          Form 19 (UAN) for Pf withdrawal & Form 10c UAN for Pension withdrawal.
          As per the govt gazette, if you do not submit PAN, TDS at the rate of 34% will be deducted and the remaining PF balance will be paid to you.
          But I doubt if they process your PF withdrawal application without submitting copy of your PAN.

            Sorry for the interference just wanted to provide some useful information that , in today’s modern era and because of the e- work . Government processing the pan card with in 15 to 20 days . The only things is to provide the correct details to them .So to recapitulate I would suggest Madhuri to have her pan card in order to get rid of TDS deduction.

  • Vinod says:
    January 25, 2016 at 10:42 am

    The Form 31 Declaration asks for Flat’s Registration Number and other details. I want to withdraw the Advance from my PF account of 10+ years so that I can avail some fund for the payment of the 20% margin amount or what is called down payment. But since till I make some of the down payment, I cannot have the Registration. And without Registration details Form 31 Declaration can’t be submitted or EPFO will not pass your withdrawal request. So how can I or any customer like me complete the Form 31 Declaration to withdraw the Advance from PF in this situation. Please clarify this.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      January 25, 2016 at 2:05 pm

      Dear Vinod,
      Probably that is the reason why EPFO has now simplified the withdrawal/partial withdrawal forms.
      If you see the new partial withdrawal form (Form 31-UAN), you only have to provide information ‘about the purpose for which advance is required’.

    My mother got hospitalised and undergone for the major surgery related to cancer 2 months back. Discharged in 10 days and doctor advised for next step chemo therapy which is also involves cost. I want to withdraw PF amount under medical treatment for spent amount.

    Will they consider the reason of hospitalised and discharged case under medical treatment?

    Need your suggestion.

        Hi Good evening,

        As per the suggestion by you, I have started the process today. Before going into detailed, my present situation is this… I have worked for 7.5 years with a single company and recently resigned and joined in another company 3 months back.

        My new comapny HR says my PF amount has not been transfered from the previous company to this company and advising that withdraw the entire amount from the previous company instead of transfer of PF/ Partial withdraw for medical treatment.

        If I do so, What is the tax implications on withdrawl of my PF?

        (In this case, I am voilating non employment as I have joined in new company)

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          January 26, 2016 at 12:22 pm

          Dear Uday,
          EPFO may reject your Withdrawal (total balance) application citing that you are currently employed.
          I believe that even if your PF a/c transfer is under process, you can still make a partial withdrawal by submitting the new Form 31 (UAN) directly to EPFO.

          • Dasari Uday Kumar says:
            January 26, 2016 at 7:15 pm

            Thanks for the info. My PF amount has not transfered and not in process also. I will directly go and meet the old company HR and submit form 11 (new) along with attested KYC proofs.

            Once it is done, Where should I send form 31? And What are all the docs to send in my case for Withdrawl under medical treatment?

            • Sreekanth Reddy says:
              January 27, 2016 at 7:11 pm

              Dear Uday..Ok, kindly refer my article on EPF partial withdrawals.
              But my point was why can’t you submit new EPF form directly if your UAN is kyc verified??

    Hi Shreekanth,

    My AADHAR, BANK A/C,PAN are approved by employer and seeded in UAN portal. I have certain queries

    1. I don’t remember and confused either my first EPF contribution by first employer is merged with new 2nd UAN EPF contribution. I have 1st employer EPF no. How can i check this ?

    2. I am under 50 years and my total service is under 10 years.Apart from PF balance can i withdraw Pension fund ?

    5.Even after withdrawing the whole both EPF and EPS funds still i can avail pension funds after 58 if yes how and when i can apply?

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      January 22, 2016 at 7:36 pm

      Dear satya,
      1 – You may contact your ex-employer to find out your EPF a/c no. If you have activated UAN and linked both Member-IDs (EPF a/cs) then you can find out which one is the current one.
      2 – You can withdraw Pension amount at the time of resignation.
      3 – I did not understand the last query??

      Dear Ramesh,
      Suggest you to submit the form at Delhi office. You may have to give ‘authorization letter’ to your representative.
      Kindly call EPFO helpdesk and check if this is ok.
      Generally the credit can happen within 30 days.

        Hi Sreekanth

        I have tried putting this query to the PF office but they say that they are not aware of the process.

        I would want to know the documents to be submitted with the new UAN form

        Regards
        Madhuri

          Dear Madhuri,
          I believe that along with Form 31 UAN (doc provided in the above article), you need to submit ‘declaration form’ stating the purpose & amount.
          I am assuming that your UAN is KYC verified and Aadhar no/Pan/Bank ac details are seeded to it.

            Hi Srikanth

            In the website, I see only one Declaration from which needs attestation by the employer.

            All my details are verified by UAN

            Thanks
            Madhuri

    hi,
    I have an inoperative epf a/c(Previous job) and my current job is UAN based epf a/c, now if i want to online transfer then message as “Both employers not registered digital signature, This claim can not be done online, kindly submit physical claim”.
    My current epf a/c is adhar and bank a/c seeded properly so by using UAN based forms can i withdraw money or i have to submit transfer form for old to new a/c transfer. please tell me best solution.

      Dear Jay,
      Kindly submit your request about ‘inoperative EPF account’ to EPFO.
      You will get confirmation SMS from them and then you can transfer the amount to your UAN linked new EPF account .

          Dear Renuka,
          Your EPF account might have been converted to an ‘inoperative account’.
          Suggest you to kindly raise service request using EPFO helpdesk. Kindly go through the link that I have shared.
          Once you receive SMS confirmation from EPFO, you can withdraw your
