Online EPF Claim submission : Process Flow & Eligibility Conditions

Last updated: January 29, 2020 | by Sreekanth Reddy

As you may be aware, the EPFO has launched an online EPF claim facility during the month of May (2017). This is a great initiative by the EPFO. This online PF withdrawal facility is beneficial for both PF subscribers and employees of EPFO.

However, many of the employees who intended to use this facility has come up with lot of queries on how to submit EPF claim online? What are the eligibility conditions to withdraw EPF online? Is it possible to withdraw even EPS (pension) online? – What if a PF member has multiple EPF accounts? ..and so on..

In this post, let us understand the eligibility conditions that have to be met by a PF member for online filing of Full (or) Partial EPF withdrawal claim and about the claim submission process flow.

Online EPF Claim Facility & Eligibility Conditions

Type of EPF claims :

EPF Member’s who have activated their UAN and seeded their KYC (Aadhaar) with EPFO will be able to apply for below claims through employees UAN interface / portal directly ;

  • PF Final Settlement (Full PF withdrawal)
  • Pension Withdrawal Benefit (EPS withdrawal)  &
  • PF Part Withdrawal (PF Loan / advance)

(Kindly note that for ‘Online EPF transfer’ & ‘EPS Withdrawals’, Aadhaar seeding is not mandatory.)

EPF member & Pre-requisites :

You (PF Member) should fulfill following conditions for submitting EPF Claim online :

  • You should have activated your Universal Account Number and the mobile number used for activating UAN should be in the working condition.
  • Your Aadhaar details should have been seeded in EPFO database and should avail OTP based facility for verifying eKYC from UIDAI while submitting the claim. (Kindly note that your personal details like Name, Date of Birth, Gender etc in your UAN portal need to match with details in Aadhaar card.)
  • Bank Account along with IFSC code should be seeded in EPFO database.
  • Permanent Account Number (PAN) should be seeded in EPFO database for PF Final Settlement Claims in case your service period is less than 5 years.

EPF member & Service Requirements :

You should fulfill following service conditions for online EPF withdrawal in full (final settlement) :

  • Your Date of Joining (DoJ) and Date of Exit (DoE) should be available in the EPFO Database.
  • You should not be working presently under any establishment covered under the PF Act.
  • The Claim should be submitted not before two months after leaving Establishment.

For submitting EPS – Pension withdrawal online ;

  • You should have service of more than 6 months and less than 9.5 years.
  • Date of Joining and Date of Exit should be available in the EPFO Database.
  • You should not be working presently under any establishment covered under PF Act.
  • The Claim should be submitted not before two months after leaving Establishment.

For part withdrawal of PF through online mode, below are the conditions ;EPF withdrawal online service eligibility number of years contribution years

  • Your Date of Joining should be available in the EPFO database.
  • You need not submit any supporting documents for Partial withdrawals made through online mode.
  • Kindly note that you can receive the Partial withdrawal PF amount only into your Bank account (that is linked to your UAN).
  • If you want the amount to be credited to third party bank account then you can not submit Partial withdrawal claim online. For example  : If you are planning to claim partial withdrawal for purchasing house through a home loan, and you want the amount to be credited directly to Lender / Builder bank account then online filing of PF is not possible.

In case, you have multiple active EPF accounts (Member-IDs) then you need to first consolidate them and only then you can submit EPF claims online. (Read : ‘How to consolidate multiple EPF accounts?‘)

    Hi Srikanth,

    My PF withdrawal was rejected after 2 months with the reason
    “NO contribution shown from 06/2017 to DOE in member ledger . Please clarify the same and resubmit.”

    My EPF grievance was closed today with the same reason asking me to resubmit with clarification.

    I have been working with the organization since 2011 and on 05/2017, I was assigned to onsite role in Canada. My last day of employment with the organization was 02/2019, and in the period 06/2017 to 02/2019 I wasn’t earning in India, hence my PF contribution was zero.

    In the PF withdrawal online application there is no section to provide this clarification. Could you please let me know how to proceed with the withdrawal/resubmission of request.

    Thank you

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I have two UAN, under which i have my first employer (TechM) in one and in the other i have the 2nd (HCL) and 3rd employer. HCL has their own trust.

    Questions: 1) To transfer the PF from HCL to the current, is just sending the Form 13 (Revised) to HCL enough, or we have to send a copy of the same to EPFO too?

    2) What is the best option with the 1st employer. Can I transfer that to current? Should i withdraw?

    Thanks,

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      February 6, 2020 at 12:25 pm

      Dear Shivaprasad,
      1st Employer to 3rd one – you can do it.
      HCL to 3rd one – Routing through HCL should be fine. Submit for transfer of both EPF and EPS ..

      • Shivaprasad says:
        February 19, 2020 at 5:54 am

        Thanks for your response, Sreekanth.

        How about merging the two UANs ? Does does transfer of 1st Employer to 3rd will automatically close the first UAN?

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          February 19, 2020 at 3:52 pm

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I have been maintaining my PF account for more than 10 years. Now I am not working any more from past 7 months in India. When I tried to claim my PF it is getting rejected with the below comments:

    Your Claim [ Claim Id – TNMAS200150091074 ] has been rejected due to : 1) HIGH VALUE CLAIM-MEMBER IS REQUESTED TO SUBMIT ORIGINAL CHEQUE LEAF WITH NAME FOR GENUINENESS 2) CERTIFICATE ENCLOSED IS IMPROPER

    got this rejected for couple of times with the same comment. check Leaf that I uploaded for online claim is quite perfect and original. Don’t know it is getting rejected again. Is he telling to submit a physical copy?

    The Claim form is form-19. Can you please tell me the reason behind rejection?

    Thanks in Advance.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      February 5, 2020 at 6:59 pm

      Dear srinivas,
      Are your kyc details been updated/linked/verified in EPFO UAN portal?
      As your service is 10+ years, you can withdraw EPF balance only and not EPS (pension) balance.

      • srinivas says:
        February 6, 2020 at 12:50 am

        But, what are these rejection comments?

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          February 6, 2020 at 12:22 pm

          Dear Srinivas,
          Suggest you to raise a claim online and immediately send by post, a a cancelled blank bank cheque which has your name imprinted on it, enclose copies of Aadhaar and APN. Quote your UAN and claim ref numbers on the documents.

          As soon as you do this, submit a grievance request via this link, to speed up the process.

    I submitted EPS withdraw. My service is under 9.5yr. The Claim was rejected due to:
    1/ Submit EPF form alongwith EPS form.
    2/ Certificate enclosed is improper.

    I understand first reason of rejection and will apply EPF claim also.

    But i did not understand their second reason i.e ” Certificate enclosed is improper”
    Please can you help advise does this mean and what should i do to correct the second rejection clause.

      January 25, 2020 at 10:26 am

      Dear Ashish,
      EPS can not be withdrawn if your service period is around 10 years. Kindly check if your service period is very close to 10 year mark.

      You can also check with our employer on this and also submit a grievance request to the EPFO asking for more information on your claim request.
      They are mostly referring to EPS Scheme Certificate.

      If your PAN card has been VERIFIED in UAN portal then not required. Do note that even if TDS is not deducted , your EPF claim amount is a taxable income as your service period is less than 5 years.

        Hi,

        I am also facing same issue. I submitted online claim twice. Both times, it got rejected due – 1) Wages > 15000/- not eligible for eps membership but ESTT Deducted and Remitted EPS contribution 2) CERTIFICATE A/B/C/D/E/F NOT ENCLOSED / SIGNED.

        Dont know what exactly missing in online claim. Let me know what is wrong, what is required from my side so this pf transfer can happen.

        Raised the complaint. Hoping for getting some answer.

          Dear Dipesh,
          You can get the funds transferred from your previous EPF ac to the latest one and then can submit full withdrawal claim.

          Else, you can make online claim for the latest epf a/c and can also submit one more claim request to your old employer .

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      August 3, 2019 at 10:44 am

      Dear Krishna,
      Yes, you can apply for partial withdrawal.
      You can submit an online claim and can also send a copy of your PAN & Aadhaar quoting your UAN & claim ref no to the concerned EPFO regional office immediately.

      For the purpose of ‘medical treatment’, the least of 6 months basic wages (or) employee share with interest is allowed as partial withdrawal.”

    I have applied for PF withdraw (illness).Due to my incorrect account number I didn’t receive the amount and it’s retuned bank ad few days after it’s started showing in PF passbook.Now,again I have applied for withdraw after seeing in the amount in Passbook but the status still showing as under process after 15 days.Will this take some more days or how? Kindly respond on this.

        Dear Sreekanth,
        Thanks for your reply.I have applied for small amount after entering correct bank account number and i received the amount.Now,I have applied for rest of the amount and it still says as under process even after 15 days.Does it takes time?

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          July 21, 2019 at 12:06 pm

          Dear Babu,
          May I know what is ‘purpose’ of withdrawal that you have selected?

          For the purpose of medical treatment, PF partial withdrawal can be made multiple times (no limit).
          But, I have observed that EPFO may request for offline claim instead of online claim(s) if there are too many withdrawal requests being made by an EPF member..

      May I know the reason for rejection of Transfer claim?
      Are your personal details between the two EPF accounts matching?

      Do note that as your currently employed and contributing to EPF Scheme then you can not make full PF claim. You need to go Transfer claim only.

Below is the reason : Claim-Form-31 (EPF Advance)(Construction of House) Claim id-MRNOI190750011426 Member id-MRNOI00543220000011089 has been rejected due to :- 1) INSUFFICIENT SERVICE FOR THIS UNDER PARA (SERVICES ERROR) 2) NOT ELIGIBLE-INSUFFICIENT SERVICE. I have started working since 2010. Recently I transferred by PF from previous employer & it was successful. I am working in my current company since 13 months. I reapplied again today selecting Natural Calamities. Will it get rejected again? If yes then tell me how can I withdraw my PF ?

            Thanks for your reply. Under Natural Calamities my claim has been settled now. But I had requested 2 Lakhs & they have approved only 5000. What a joke this is. Should I raise a grievance request? If yes will they approve required amount? Kindly reply.

      • Sreekanth Reddy says:
        July 16, 2019 at 6:52 pm

        Dear Mohammed,
        You should have selected the purpose of withdrawal as ‘construction of house’ or ‘renovation of house’ as this reason makes sense.
        The quantum of partial PF claim depends on the purpose of withdrawal.

        Kindly read : EPF Partial Withdrawals / Advances : Details, Rules & Guidelines

        • Mohammed Sallahuddin says:
          July 16, 2019 at 7:39 pm

          I had selected this on my first attempt and they rejected my request. Thats the reason I requested again selecting natural calamity.

          • Sreekanth Reddy says:
            July 17, 2019 at 9:55 am

            Dear Mohammed,
            Ok got it!
            I think they have done a mistake by ignoring your carried forward service, hence the shortage of service to process your claim request with reason as ‘renovation/construction’.
            If its possible, you may visit the concerned EPF regional office in person and put-forth your case. You may also take your employer’s help/support.

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I applied online claim to withdraw my full PF & Pension amounts. My claim status is showing as rejected “MEMBER NOT SUBMITTED FORM 15G/PAN COPY/K.”

    1)Is there any option to submit FORM 15G through online?
    2)My PAN is already updated in the portal & it is validated too.
    3)What is this “K”.

    Please suggest how i can withdraw my PF.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

      Dear Kiran,
      It is surprising that EPFO has rejected your online claim request even if your PAN has been verified in UAN portal.

      There is no provision to submit Form 15G online.

      You can submit your claim request again and immediately submit the Form 15G quoting claim ref no & UAN on it to the concerned EPF regional office. Do enclose copies of your Aadhaar & PAN cards as well.

    Hi Shreekant,

    I have worked 5 years 2 months in the previous company and
    0 years 10 months in present company, i have transferred amount from old EPF account to current EPF account.

    will i be able to get partial EPF amount by giving reason ‘house construction’ since my overall service is more than 5 years or only service in the current employment will be considered?

    if i am able to withdraw do i need to pay tax?

    Regards,
    anand

      I have also noticed that EPFO has been rejecting the online partial withdrawals for medical treatment purposes once such claims up to 3 to 4 times have been made in a FY.

      Even if you submit offline claim requests , they may not process and they will just suggest you to submit online claim.

      So, you may have to try submitting a partial claim for the same purpose after Mar 2019.

      I have noticed that EPFO has been rejecting the online partial withdrawals for medical treatment purposes once such claims up to 3 to 4 times have been made in a FY.
      And they are not accepting offline claim requests as well if the claim is for the same purpose.

      Yes, you can apply for full withdrawal after 60 days from the date of leaving your Org.

      Latest update : EPF Subscribers who resign from their service can now withdraw 75% of their total Provident Fund (PF) kitty after one month from the date of cessation of service. This will be considered as a Partial PF withdrawal (Advance).

    Hi Sreekanth,

    Firstly thank you for creating this page and helping everyone with PF questions! This the only page that I could find a lot of answers.

    My concern is I have applied for PF advance selecting ‘Construction of house’ as I am buying a house. Although, it has been rejected twice with reason unclear ‘has been rejected due to :- NOT ELIGIBLE BENEFIT FOR THIS PARA/R’ It doesn’t mention the exact PARA name so I can’t tell what is wrong.

    Any pointers here ?

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      February 27, 2019 at 6:57 pm

      Dear MJ,
      May I know your total service period? Have you applied for 90% claim?

      Purchase of House/Flat through a Society / Housing Agency : If withdrawal application is through a Society then minimum years is 3 years. ( through a registered society or houses/flats being constructed through forming a society.) – Section 68 BD. In this case, 90% of EPF balance is payable as an Advance.

      Purchase of House/Flat directly from a Builder : In this case, the Membership service criteria to withdraw is still considered as 5 years only. – they will refer to Section 68B.

      For purchase of site directly from builder :
      24 month’s basic wages and DA.

      For purchase of house/flat/construction:
      36 month’s basic wages and DA
      OR
      Total of employee and employer share with interest
      OR
      Total cost.
      Whichever is least will be allowed as withdrawal.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      February 18, 2019 at 6:43 pm

      Dear Ark,
      When you withdraw EPF before the retirement (55 years), 2 months waiting period is the norm. But in the case of abroad settlement, there would not be any waiting period. You can get back EFP corpus immediately.

      Fill the claim form (online/offline) and enter the reason for leaving the job as the abroad settlement. You may get the final settlement PF amount in 15 buisiness days..

      • ark says:
        February 21, 2019 at 2:07 pm

        Hi Sreekanth,
        Thanks for your reply. Can I initiate online claim immediately after my relieving date in India? or should I wait until my DOE is updated in the PF database?
        I have a total of 10 years work experience in India. Does this mean that I will not have any tax deductions when receiving my PF amount?
        When submitting the online claim, is there any offline form submission etc or is it 100% online?

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          February 21, 2019 at 4:09 pm

          Dear Ark,
          You may submit once your employer updates DoE.
          If your service period is 10+ years, you can withdraw full EPF online or offline, and itis tax-exempt. However, you can not withdraw EPS balance.

    Hey Sreekanth,

    I have a claim which currently shows status not available. This is for a full withdrawal of PF.

    I had earlier applied for final settlement which was done for my latest employer. Prior to applying for this withdrawal, I had applied for transfer of PF from my earlier PF account. Unfortunately, the final settlement of PF was cleared first and then the transfer of the PF from the previous account happened.

    Upon applying for the withdrawal again it was rejected stating that Claim has been rejected: CLAIM SETTLED/OK.
    Please help me know what should I be doing in case the current claim to gets rejected.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      February 18, 2019 at 6:38 pm

      Dear Prajay,
      You may have to then apply for withdrawal through your employer or submit CCF-Aadhaar form to the concerned EPFO regional office (for your old EPF ac funds).

              Dear Narasimhaiah,
              You can withdraw PF from your latest account only, through online mode.
              You may get the funds from old EPF ac transferred to your latest EPF ac and then can make full PF claim.

    Hi shreekant sir,
    Recently my pf claim got rejected stating the reason which I couldn’t understand .the reason which they have mentioned is “19c rejected due to wages less than 15k eligible for pension membership but ESTT not remitted pension contribution”.
    I don’t know how does pension comes into play in this as I have simply opted for pf withdrawal as having 2 years of experience and was getting more than 15 k at that time .please explain .
    Thanks

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      February 7, 2019 at 6:55 pm

    • Jawad says:
      February 18, 2020 at 8:53 am

      Dear Adnan,
      You need to ask your company HR to do the changes it’s instant, once they approve then it needs to get approved from EPFO which it takes lots of time, for example for mine after employer approval was showing as pending at EPFO office for more than 3 months I had to personally visit the EPFo office and after 2 weeks it got approved.

    “Member id-BGBNG0041023000xxxxxxxx has been rejected due to :- JOINED AFTER 1/9/14 WITH WAGES OVER 15000.RESUBMIT ALONGWITH FORM 11 OBTAINED FROM KN/41023/xxxxx/OK”

      They may take around 10 to 15 days to process online claims.

    Hi Srikath,

    i have applied for PF partial withdrawal (form 31 / selected house contruction, since option for home loan repayment was not available) on 26/dec/2018. today the status in the portal i can see “claim rejected”(the same portal where i applied) and in anothor portal it shows “Not available”.
    i have completed my 10 years of service last month and only requested for 70% of the amount.
    All KYC requirements i have completed and it is in verified status.

    So why they rejected my claim or i have to wait some more time to wait to submit the grievience ?
    Thanks for replay

    • Rajesh says:
      January 4, 2019 at 10:41 am

      Update:
      while checking today, the status is rejected with below message, but no reason mentioned in the message

        January 5, 2019 at 4:22 pm

        Dear Rajesh,

        Purchase of House/Flat through a Society / Housing Agency : If withdrawal application is through a Society then minimum years is 3 years. ( through a registered society or houses/flats being constructed through forming a society.) – Section 68 BD. In this case, 90% of EPF balance is payable as an Advance.

        Purchase of House/Flat directly from a Builder : In this case, the Membership service criteria to withdraw is still considered as 5 years only. – they will refer to Section 68B.

        For purchase of site directly from builder :
        24 month’s basic wages and DA.

        For purchase of house/flat/construction:
        36 month’s basic wages and DA
        OR
        Total of employee and employer share with interest
        OR
        Total cost.
        Whichever is least will be allowed as withdrawal.

        Mostly, you may not be eligible for 70% claim amount, you may submit grievance via this link and inquire about the reason for rejection.

    Hello,

    can you please tell me the process flow once the claim is submitted online.

    Ex : flow such as –
    claim submitted online and then → under process then → claim settled ?

    can you please elaborate with right process flow as shown above..

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

      Dear Nandu,
      Officially, as per the EPFO, online claims (Partial/Full withdrawals) are generally settled and paid within 15 business days.

      However, if there are any technical issues then the claim settlement may get delayed.

      The online process flow can be -> Claim submitted online -> Sent to field office -> Claim approved -> Under process -> Claim settled -> NEFT sent -> Amount gets credited.

      Kindly note that after claim gets settled, it may take around 2 to 5 business days to get the credit in your bank account (claim amount ).

    Dear Sreekanth sir,

    I have applied for PF and Pension and it got processed on 14/12/2018, on 1/1/2019 when I have inquired about the status as since long it was showing under process the gurgaon PF office told me that it got rejected due to PAN NO. was not verified. Yes I do accept that PAN no .was not verified and it got rejected but now still the status on portal is showing “under process” because of which I am not able to re-claim it. Kindly suggest what to do as PF office is saying that it is rejected from our side and I am not able to re-claim it as status on portal is showing me under process

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      January 3, 2019 at 12:38 pm

      Dear Shyam,
      You may have to request them to update the claim status..but, generally, they process the claim even without PAN but they may deduct TDS. It is surprising in your case…submit a grievance request via this link..

    How can I withdraw the pf and pension amount in case form 10c & 19 was not showing in option

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      December 28, 2018 at 6:56 pm

      Dear Priya,
      If you would like to withdraw PF in full then you need to submit Form 19 & 10c (EPF & EPS). Form 31 is for transfer of funds between two EPF accounts.

      Mostly, your ex-employer might not have updated the Date of Exit under Services history menu tab. Kindly check with them.

  • priya says:

    Hi bro .

    I worked for X company for 12 months. And joined in new Y company 4months back So, I applied for pf withdrawal through form 31 because the same UAN has been continued in Y company. It has been 6 days the status still shows as under process in EPF website. will the whole process will be settled or rejected? Need your insights .

    Thanks in advance .

    Cheers.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      December 28, 2018 at 12:21 pm

      Dear Sai,
      Form 31 is for ‘Transfer of funds’.
      On successful transfer, your funds from previous ac will be transferred to your latest EPF account.

    I was an employee of x company since 2011 to jan 2016 after that i worked in company Y for 6 months. When i login in UAN portal it shows both accounts in passbook section. Tried for transfer of previous account in present but it was not possible online. So i applied offline. After some days of that i am able to withdraw my pf but only for present employer, And in portal there is no existence of past employer .
    Now i would like to ask how i would be able to withdraw my past employer pf balance. Thanks in advance.

    November 22, 2018 at 12:15 pm

    The Pension withdrawal benefit for 8 years of service (7.5+ years since Oct 2010) will be 8.22 x Wages at exit. According to the rules: “Wages at exit shall be the weighted average of his wages at the end of every wage ceiling period”. Can you please explain this weighted average concept? I exited at April 2018.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      November 22, 2018 at 12:35 pm

      Dear Meenakshi,
      Kindly note that EPS pension is payable only if the service period is more than 10 years.

      • Meenakshi Sadasivam says:
        November 23, 2018 at 7:30 pm

        Hi Sreekanth,
        For people with experience less than 9 years and 6 months; a Pension withdrawal benefit applies which depends on a proportion (based on the number of years served) x Wages at exit. This is a one time payment and not a monthly pension which is applicable only in the case after 58 years and contributing to EPS for at least 10 years. I am asking about the former – “EPS Withdrawal Benefit” since I know I am not applicable for monthly pension.

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          November 24, 2018 at 4:59 pm

          Dear Meenakshi,
          If your service period is less than 10 years then whatever is your EPS balance as shown in your passbook can be withdrawn.

          Your employer also contributes 12% of the salary to your EPF a/c. But your employer’s monthly contribution is routed towards various components of PF.

          Out of this 12% of your employer’s monthly contribution, 8.33% goes towards EPS (Employees Pension Scheme) and only 3.67% is invested in Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF). So, you contribute 12% of your basic salary and your employer contributes 3.6% of your basic salary towards EPF deposits.

      I have been noticing that the EPFO has been very slow in processing claim requests submitted since Sep month. You may have to kindly wait..
      Once your claim is processed, kindly get your funds transferred from previous EPF account to new EPF account.

I wanted to apply for full withdrawal through online method after 2 months of u employment, I. E on 01.10.2018..now my employer by mistake has created another account in same UAN and deposited some amount. With date of joining 06.08.2018. After realizing he has updated date of leaving 31.08.2018.. So now I have 2 accounts in one UAN.. Please guide what to done next.. As per my employers suggestion I have applied for merging 2 accounts.. What will be doj and doe if I merge 2 accounts.. Will I be able to withdraw full amount as the service period is only one month in 2nd pass book. Kindly guide

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      October 3, 2018 at 5:05 pm

      Dear Gauthami,
      If the two accounts get merged, your total service period is counted from 1/06/17 till 31/08/2018.
      You can withdraw PF after two months from the date 31/08/2018.

      Short service in latest (2nd account) might hinder you from withdrawing EPS balance online, but you can make offline withdrawal.

      For EPS withdrawal alone, you should have service of more than 6 months and less than 9.5 years.

    I applied for PF advance and it is now showing as settled. My issue is when I applied the IFSC was something else which was already there(seems given by my employer). After few days I see the IFSC is incorrect and corrected it. But corrected it when the claim was under process. So shall I get it in my bank.

    Also to check I have added my bank with that old IFSC code and transfer some amount it got credited so I think it should be credited into my account. Please suggest.

    Incorrect IFSC was KKBK0000958 correct- KKBK0000287

        Hello Srikanth,

        I am also facing same problem which has been described by Asad Khan.
        “I have Applied for final PF settlement online. All my details are seeded. But It got rejected with reason : Pancard and 15G form copy not submitted.”

        FYI – My Pancard and Adhaar Card has been already verified by respective department for E-KYC.
        Then why are they telling me Pancard not submitted.

        Another thing I want to mention is, I am Filing my return with Paying Tax now, I talked with my CA as well. He advised me No need to save TDS with your PF withdraw, we will file it in next IT Return.

        Please advise me, what should I do in this case?

        Thanks,
        Kartik Thathagar

          October 8, 2018 at 4:01 pm

          Dear Kartik,
          I am not sure what could be the reason here, if your PAN has already been verified.

          However, do note that EPF withdrawal before 5 years of service is taxable, irrespective of TDS is levied or not.

          In case, your service period is more than 5 years then TDS if levied can be claimed by filing your ITR (as suggested by your CA).

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I have applied for PF Advance but it was rejected quoting that “ESTT IS COVERED UNDER ESI SCHEME”HENCE,ADVANCE U/P 68J REJECTED./K”. But I am exempted to ESI. How can I submit proof that I am not covered under ESI through online..

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

      Dear Priyanga,
      Kindly check if your Organization is covered under ESI or not with your employer..

      • Nakul says:

        Hi Sreekanth,

        I applied for pf advance withdrawal and got this reply with claim rejected-

        Claim-Form-31 (EPF Advance)(Illness) Claim id-XXXXX1807500XXXXX Member id-XXXXX003414500000XXXXX has been rejected due to :- THE ESTT IS COVERED UNDER ESI SCHEME WITH CODE NO.53511121340011008.HENCE,ADVANCE U/P 68J REJECTED./OK

        Any idea what could be the reason for same?

        Also, If Employer is covered under ESI SCHEME, then could employees cannot claim for advance withdrawal?

        Regards // Nakul

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          December 12, 2018 at 7:10 pm

          Dear Nakul,
          In fact, the EPFO has previously issued a notification amendig the Paragraph 68-J and removed the sub-paragraphs (2) and (3). These two are the paragraphs which made it mandatory for the submission of ESIC certificate or doctor certificate in case of such withdrawal or advance for medical expenses.

          So, it is allowed.

          You may kindly check with your employer as well, can also submit your grievance to the EPFO and inquire more on this.

          In case, you get more details, kindly share them here..

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

      Dear Antim,
      Generally, the EPFO pays claims in 10 to 15 business days.
      Once claim is settled, it takes 2 to 5 business days to get the credit in your bank account.

    Dear Srikanth,

    I had applied for a partial withdrawal on 20th June 2018 for the treatment of my 5-year-old daughter. On 29th June, the status was updated as “Settled”. I waited for a week, but the amount was not credited to my account. It was then that I realised that in my account number, the leading zero was missing. I got it corrected on my UAN and also registered a grievance to the EPFO online. The grievance was registered on 4th July. It has been almost two weeks, the status is still showing as “Under examination at our level”. I send them mails almost every day, but never get a response. Please guide me on the further process and timelines. As you may understand, I’m in dire need for money for my little one.

    Thanks,
    Neha

      Once they cancel it (if not yet processed, they may cancel the claim request), you can submit TRANSFER request (transfer of funds from your previous EPF ac to current one). During this process, your old UAN gets automatically blocked.

          Dear ashish,
          There is no need to submit any documents as proofs for partial withdrawal.

          Purchase of House/Flat through a Society / Housing Agency : If withdrawal application is through a Society then minimum years is 3 years. ( through a registered society or houses/flats being constructed through forming a society.) – Section 68 BD. In this case, 90% of EPF balance is payable as an Advance.

          Purchase of House/Flat directly from a Builder : In this case, the Membership service criteria to withdraw is still considered as 5 years only. – they are referring to Section 68B.

          For purchase of site directly from builder :
          24 month’s basic wages and DA.

          For purchase of house/flat/construction:
          36 month’s basic wages and DA
          OR
          Total of employee and employer share with interest
          OR
          Total cost.
          Whichever is least will be allowed as withdrawal.

          Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawal options & rules.

    Hi Sreekanth,
    I have applied for PF withdrawl and it got approved. But when I am trying to submit form to withdraw pension amount, the error message is coming as “error reading response from ASA-socket timeout and claim not submitted on portal, try again later”. Let me tell you that my most recent employment was for less than 6 months. I transferred my previous employer funds to my recent employer and withdrawn my PF amount but I am unable to submit pension withdrawal form. If the reason is less than 6 month of employment with my recent employer, then how can I withdraw pension amount from my previous employers for whom I worked for more than 2 years.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      June 27, 2018 at 4:19 pm

      Dear Neha,
      As you have made the transfer of funds from your previous EPF to recent one, EPS balance also would have got transferred.
      But, if your recent service period is 6 months, you may not be able to make online EPS withdrawal.

      You can contact your employer (recent one) and can submit EPS claim form 10c through offline mode.
      Kindly note that EPF withdrawals within a 5 year service period are taxable.

      Kindly read :

      Dear Azhar,
      For EPF transfer in your case, your employer has to give their support as the funds are maintained by their Pvt trust.
      If they are not then you may to approach local Labor court.

      Dear SRD,
      They can’t threaten you like this.
      You have complete freedom to chose your career. Kindly serve the notice period (if any) with them and try to come out of this employment.
      After 2 months, you can withdraw EPF. Dont worry!
      Is your EPF account maintained at EPF Mumbai regional office?

      Dear Niranjan,
      You may have to submit re-authorization letter to the EPFO with correct bank details. Kindly contact the concerned EPF regional office. You may also take your employer’s help.

    hi Sreekanth.

    nice article and g8 job on replying to all queries.. thanks in advance.

    I have applied for online claim. and i just noticed that the status has been changed to “settled but returned”.

    I have connected my regional PF office and they has said that the account number was missing leading Zeros (00) .

    they has asked me to wait for 10-15 days by that time money would be created back to EPF account and then claim again after correcting account number..

    my concern is that is this process correct? will i see my passbook updated with this credit?. i see from may forum that we have to submit re-authorization letter which this guy denied..

    please let me know if you more on this?

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      June 13, 2018 at 5:53 pm

      Dear lahens,
      Did they provide written confirmation?
      If not, suggest you to submit an online grievance request to the EPFO..click here..
      Ideally one has to submit re-authorization letter.
      May be, the EPFO staff is also correct. But, I doubt if the funds are credited back to EPF member account. The funds my be in EPFO account for re-conciliation.
      Meanwhile, kindly get your bank account details corrected and verified in UAN member portal.

  • Varun says:

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I’ve completed 3.6 years with my previous organization and my new organization has generated a new UAN number for me.

    I’m planning to transfer my PF from the told UAN to the new one, but I want to withdraw my EPS. My new employer no longer is contributing into the EPS account(as basic is above 15k) and equal EPF is being credited in the employer share on the new pass book.

    Also, Any pointers on how the EPS is calculated? Would it be based on my previous Basic for caculation or 6.5k (not sure if its 15k)

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      June 9, 2018 at 12:14 pm

      Dear Varun,
      An employee should have only one UAN. You should have shared your old UAN number to your new employer.
      Now, when you transfer funds from previous EPF ac to new EPF ac, your old UAN automatically gets blocked.

      I believe that you can withdraw EPS if no fresh contributions happen for minimum 2 months. Whatever is the EPS accumulation you have, can withdraw it. If service period is more than 10 years then one can not withdraw EPS, pension is calculated and paid after 50/58 years of age.

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I have submitted online partial withdraw for 2 lakhs for Illness Reason. But when i checked through your blogs it’s mentioned only 6 months of wages can be withdrawn. while calculating with wages it’s only 1.5 lakh.
    Please confirm whether they will reject my application or they will approve 1.5 lakh?

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      June 9, 2018 at 12:08 pm

      Dear Vinay,
      For the purpose of ‘medical treatment’, the least of 6 months basic wages (or) employee share with interest is allowed as partial withdrawal.”

      Even if you have claimed higher amount, mostly, EPFO can process you claim and approve the amount which is subject to the threshold limit.

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I am working in current org from the last 2.10 years and I have worked with previous org for 2.1 years. Ihave got my epf component transferred to the current org smoothly except the EPS amount.

    I am unable to find the claim 10C option in the drop down either in umang or in the website also. Can you please suggest how can I withdraw/transfer my my previous EPS component to my bank/new employer EPS account?

    Regards

    • Kowshik says:

        • Kowshik says:
          June 7, 2018 at 9:56 pm

          Hi Sreekanth,

          Thanks so much for such a valuable info.

          Also I have little confusion from the two threads in the website:
          1. https://goo.gl/wi7DgF –
          Says form 11 can be used to transfer EPF as well as EPF amounts.
          2. https://goo.gl/Q9sBSf
          -Says CCF can be used to withdraw EPF/EPS in full or partial.

          Query1) My understanding is that CCF or form 11 are one and the same, which can be used to either withdraw/transfer the both EPF and EPS components to the new employer by physical submission of form11/CCF to EPFO directly in case of Aadhar seeded UAN?

          Query2) If my above understanding is correct, to which EPFO office I can post the forms to get either withdrawal or transferred?

          Kindly clarify.

          regards
          Kowshik

          • Sreekanth Reddy says:
            June 9, 2018 at 12:02 pm

            Dear Kowshik,
            CCF forms are for full or partial withdrawals and not for Transfer of EPF/EPS.
            One can not submit Form 11 to the EPFO directly.

      1 – You may request your employer to update Date of Joining.
      Also read : How to submit EPF Account Nomination details online? | New e-Nomination Facility by EPFO
      2 – EPFO has to correct this. You need to submit a joint declaration form to the EPFO through your employer.
      3 – No, it wont affect. EPF and EPS are two different things..

But when ever I am trying add to the old one via UAN login one member one EPF account – selecting the present employer and giving PF number in member ID its saying no member found. I have gone thru your sessions as well how to merge PF account but failed due to the message.

    1. will get pf amount of last company only or combine of last and last to last company.
    2. If only i get amount of last company then how would i get amount of last to last company.
    3. I have checked and found in online submission IFSC is showing wrong but account number is correct, will it get reject , if yes then how would i correct it.

    Thanks is advance.

      Dear Adil,
      Did you transfer funds from old EPF account to the latest one?
      If yes, you can withdraw the accumulated balance (two EPF a/cs) together.
      I have noticed that EPF members do receive the claim amount(s) to their bank accounts even though IFSC codes are incorrect.

    I applied for PF advance withdraw but I see the account number is correct but IFCS code is in correct (though bank name is same). do you suggest to file for grievance in this case ?
    Thanks

      Dear Rahul,
      Nothing wrong in filing a grievance.
      But, I have observed that if bank ac number is correct and IFSC code is incorrect, still EPF members have received the claim amount(s).

    Hello Sreekanth,
    I just applied for PF claim via the UAN online portal. The status currently is “Online Claim Submitted at Portal”. I want to cancel the submission. What is the process? Will this effect my interest calculations in future?

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      May 21, 2018 at 4:22 pm

      Dear Kiran,
      I believe that (as of now) there is no provision to cancel the online claim request.
      Suggest you to contact the EPFO immediately.

          “For the purpose of ‘medical treatment’, the least of 6 months basic wages (or) employee share with interest is allowed as partial withdrawal.”

          The process is – > Field officer approval -> Under process -> claim gets settled -> amount gets credited.
          This process may take around 15 business days.

          By the by, one request, we are testing our ‘blog comment’ feature. Did you receive my previous reply as an email-alert (notification) to your submitted email-ID?

            I did not get mail notification. the amount got into my account but not as much as approved amount.

            if the approved amount is 150000, 135000 is credited into my account

            Thanks

              Dear Dinesh,
              Looks like the EPFO has deducted a TDS @ 10% on your withdrawal.

              Kindly read :
              EPF withdrawals & TDS rules
              EPF Interest Income & Withdrawals | Tax Implications | Is EPF Interest taxable?

                Hi Sreekanth,

                Thanks for the clarification
                After reading, Feel like they have duducted TDS 10%, Is this will be the same case for EPS(From-10c) aswell?

                Thanks
                Dinesh

                • Sreekanth Reddy says:
                  May 17, 2018 at 5:34 pm

                  Dear Dinesh,
                  Yes. If you withdraw your PF balance before the expiry of five years of continuous service, then it is taxable in the year in which withdrawal has happened. In addition to this, your employer’s contributions along with the accumulated interest amount will be taxed as “profits in lieu of salary”. Interest accumulated on your (employee) contributions will be taxed under the head “Income from other sources”. The tax deductions claimed on your contributions will be revoked or rolled back, and shall be liable to tax

              • Dinesh+Reddy says:
                May 17, 2018 at 5:35 pm

                Hi Srikanth,

                A small question, is it possible to calim the TDS deducted, if we are no more working in india?

                Thanks
                Dinesh

                • Sreekanth Reddy says:
                  May 17, 2018 at 5:38 pm

                  Dear Dinesh,
                  Whether TDS has been deducted or not, any PF withdrawals done before 5 year service period is a taxable income.
                  In case, an individual’s income is below basic exemption limit then there won’t be any tax liability.

                  • Dinesh+Reddy says:

              Dear amitabh,

              Purchase of House/Flat through a Society / Housing Agency : If withdrawal application is through a Society then minimum years is 3 years. ( through a registered society or houses/flats being constructed through forming a society.) – Section 68 BD. In this case, 90% of EPF balance is payable as an Advance.

              Purchase of House/Flat directly from a Builder : In this case, the Membership service criteria to withdraw is still considered as 5 years only. – they are referring to Section 68B.

              For purchase of site directly from builder :
              24 month’s basic wages and DA.

              For purchase of house/flat/construction:
              36 month’s basic wages and DA
              OR
              Total of employee and employer share with interest
              OR
              Total cost.
              Whichever is least will be allowed as withdrawal.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

      Dear Sudhir,
      The claim amount generally gets credited within 5 business days from claim settlement date.
      So, you may wait for couple of days more.
      In case, you do not receive the amount, you may have to contact your employer/EPFO and give re-authorization letter with correct bank details.

    I have transferred my PF amount from my previous employer to current current employer PF account around 76K and applied for 76k advance withdrawal, But somehow i got approved to withdrawal 6900 only.

    Kindly let me know why only 6900 approved for withdrawal and what is the withdrawal limit per year. Because I already withdrawed some amount 1 month before..I mentioned reason as illnesses..

      When you merge your previous PF account to new employer. you can only claim new employer PF contribution. unless you combine all the member ID into one.
      First combine all the PF Member ID’s and then claim. it must work.
      there are no specific withdrawal limit. you can reapply after one month.

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I want to withdraw my EPF as I am unemployed for more than a year. I have fulfilled all the necessary procedures to submit Online Claim.

    But before I do so I want to confirm If I am eligible for the Interest for the FY 2017-18 as my last working day was 31 March 2017 and My organization has paid mar 2017 PF in April 2017. I don’t see the interest credited for FY2017-18 in my Passbook yet.

    Any idea if I am eligible to receive interest for FY 17-18 or till the date of withdrawal claim submitted.

    Thanks

( through a registered society or houses/flats being constructed through forming a society.) – Section 68 BD. In this case, 90% of EPF balance is payable as an Advance.

      Purchase of House/Flat directly from a Builder : In this case, the Membership service criteria to withdraw is still considered as 5 years only. – they are referring to Section 68B.

      For purchase of site directly from builder :
      24 month’s basic wages and DA.

      For purchase of house/flat/construction:
      36 month’s basic wages and DA
      OR
      Total of employee and employer share with interest
      OR
      Total cost.
      Whichever is least will be allowed as withdrawal.

    Hi Reddy,

    For the account which does not have 6 months completed, they can not withdraw pension scheme (10c), do you have any idea that we can transfer the old pension scheme(10c) alone to the current PF account ?

    Hello Srinivas – your previous assistance to me was of great help. I am here to seek your help again.

    My PF was transferred from Bangalore to Chennai and I was assigned a new PF number under the same UAN.

    It was less than 6 months after the transfer happened to new PF number and i quit the organization, now when I go to claim my Pension amount the portal gives me an error saying that since the date of leaving is <6 months of date of joining i cannot withdraw my pension amount.

    please help in figuring out a way as to what can i do to claim my Pension amount from my provident fund.

    Regards
    Aakash

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      May 10, 2018 at 4:59 pm

      Dear Aakash,
      If service period is less than 6 months in current Org, I think one can not withdraw EPS online, have to go with offline mode.
      Kindly contact your employer.

    I happened to check my passbook online today and i see an entry saying “Claim Against PARA 68B(1)(c)” which has the requested claim amount mention against it. Does this mean its getting processed??

    How long should i wait for settlement and should i visit the PF office to know more.

    PLease suggest.

      Generally the online claims are settled and paid within 10 to 15 business days.

            For purchase of site directly from builder :
            24 month’s basic wages and DA.

            For purchase of house/flat/construction:
            36 month’s basic wages and DA
            OR
            Total of employee and employer share with interest

        Dear Nirosha,
        For the purpose of ‘medical treatment’, partial withdrawal claims can be submitted multiple times (no limit), provided you have a balance to withdraw.

        Kindly read :
        EPF Partial Withdrawals / Advances : Details, Rules & Guidelines
        EPF Partial withdrawal (PF Advance) for Medical Treatment

          • Sreekanth Reddy says:
            May 7, 2018 at 12:04 pm

            Dear Nirosha,
            You can withdraw partial amount multiple time for the purpose of medical treatment..
            However, the quantum of withdrawal can be – “For the purpose of ‘medical treatment’, the least of 6 months basic wages (or) employee share with interest is allowed as partial withdrawal.”

            • Nirosha says:
              May 8, 2018 at 1:54 pm

              Dear Sir,

              Thanks for your valuable Reply:

              Actually can’t understand … Now after my withdrawal(Rs.40000/-) in pf portal shows my share (means Employee share) is Rs.26000 something there.. Now amt applied Rs.20000/- again and now my status is claims under process…. When i will get the money??? It will credit surely ???? because i want money very badly for my treatment… Am applied Rs.20000/- on Sunday Afternoon 2.40.. When i will get the money to my account…

              THIS CREDIT WILL CONFIRM??? Because One Week before only my self withdraw advance PF.. Now again i applied Rs.20000/- is there any waiting period is available for Eligibility..

              Note: U said there is no limit to withdrawal.. But question is waiting period is there or any time will take (for our sick)

              Kindly clear my doubt Sir….

              Thanks ,
              Nirosha

                Dear Nirosha,
                I have not mentioned ‘no limit’ regarding the amount, it refers to number of times.
                You can withdraw least (lesser of) of 6 months basic salary (or) employee share.
                Generally online claims are settled and paid within 10 to 15 business days.

  • Jaiteerth says:
    May 4, 2018 at 1:19 pm

    Sir,

    I have applied for Education loan for my son. The amount which i have mentioned for partial withdrawal is more than 50 % (for education loan one can withdraw maximum 50%). My question is whether it is accepted and 50 % of employee contribution sanctioned or this online claim will be rejected.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      May 5, 2018 at 12:31 pm

      Dear Jaiteerth ..
      Your understanding is correct.
      An EPF subscriber with >7 years service, can apply for partial withdrawal for kid’s education purposes..
      50% of employee share + interest can be withdrawn..

    Hi SreeKanth,

    I have done partial withdrawal in past as well. But this time I have applied on 23rd Apr then via epfo claim status portal I have seen that amount has been approved and claim status , dispatch date not available. Now today when I have login with my UAN into online portal I have seen that claim status is settled (still status not available in epfo claim status link).

    Also as per my past experience, I used to get sms when amount is approved,then another sms ststing howmany days it will trafsfer , then after the fransfer my passbook has been updated.

    But this time I have seen that my passbook is already updated now with the amount which I have not received till now. Also (via UAN user login claim status is “settled”).
    Do you see any problem with this? should I raise any concern?

    regards
    subrata

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      May 4, 2018 at 12:37 pm

      Dear Subrata,
      Looks like the delay can be due to tech issues and nothing else.
      You may get the amount in few days.

    Dear Sir,

    I have applied online pf claim of form 19 and form 10 c on 10.04.2018. The current status of this claim is still under process. I have already tried to post my issue at epfigms grievances site, but due to some technical issue in that site I was not able post my grievances. Please can you adivce me what I need to do. One more thing is that sir if I withdraw the complete amount of my pf and pension of my last company and then after If I join any company then can I use that old UAN number to that new company.

  • Deepak Asopa says:

    Hi All,

    This is just for information. Last month there was some technical issues at PF office so that might be the reason of delay in claim settlement. Online claim page was under maintenance in last week of April as well.

    I applied for claim on 1-4-18 and it was send to field office on 1-4-18 and status was updated as under process.
    Status changed to Claim settled and passbook updated for withdrawal today 3-4-18.
    Most probably amount will be credited in next 2-3 days. I will confirm once done.
    So, I hope that those whose claims are pending from last month will be settled soon.

    Thanks

    • Deepak Asopa says:
      May 3, 2018 at 7:13 pm

      Sorry for typo..
      Dates are not of April. It’s 1-5-18 claim submitted and 3-5-18 status changed to settled.

      • Akshay Bhandari says:
        May 4, 2018 at 9:45 am

        Thank you Deepak for the info. Looks like you are one of the lucky few…lot of us are dealing with weeks of no activity/delay at every step of the process( if there is one)..for eg. I submitted on 5th April – status changed to “under process” on 11th April – PF passbook amount showed zero on 26th April (no change in status “under process” – till date same status.

        10 day processing is clearly incorrect in 99.99% of cases. Govt institutions are only reflections of our govt’s working style and character. So I guess, we just need to have loads of patience, like always.

        • Deepak Asopa says:
          May 8, 2018 at 12:13 pm

          Still not received the funds. Status still shows as claim settled.
          No change since 3rd May. Hope it gets credited today.

              Update – after trying calling pf office from last 2 days finally someone picked today.
              They said that its due to some NEFT problem and NEFT will be sent again.
              And Group 13 in PF office takes care of this and I spoke to group 8.
              when I asked for group 13 number she said I don’t know and disconnected the phone.
              so, I don’t see the amount coming in 1-2 days. May be couple of days more.
              Thanks

      No, You cannot withdraw as you are still contributing in EPF.
      You can take advance once your PF account is transferred to new employer.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

    Hi Sreekanth,

    Hope you are doing well.

    I joined a company in May 14, 2015 and left it in April 29, 2016 after that i have submitted the Form-19 on 11-Apr-2018 and Form-10C on 10-Apr-2018. CLAIM STATUS is still showing SENT TO FIELD OFFICE. I want to understand the meaning of “SENT TO FIELD OFFICE”. Is there any kind of Field officer?
    If yes what exactly they do? if no what is the process?

    Can you please help to understand the process.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Abhishek

    Same here, I applied on 05-04-2018, from 11th onwards status was showing as under process. On 28th, this changed to (Remarks – n/a; Claim Status-Status Not Available). Not sure about the exact issue and extensive search on Google doesn’t gives any clue whatsoever.
    Would appreciate if anyone on this platform is aware of this status and can give some hint. Anyways will raise a grievance in case issues which seems to be the case as of now.

      As you are currently employed and contributing to EPF scheme, you can not withdraw full PF, you need to transfer funds from old EPF ac to new EPF ac, during this process you old UAN automatically gets blocked.

      same here…applied on 5th April..stuck ‘under process’ still..no communication via call/sms or email..frustrating wait. I have written to them. Hoping to know what the issue is, but, the hope itself maybe hopeless.

      • Akshay Bhandari says:
        April 27, 2018 at 10:06 am

        so they replied which is a surprise in itself…but the excitement is short lived cause they’ve asked me to contact the respective epf office..(so I dono why they have this email facility anyway)…now i try to contact the epf office and ofcourse the phone no. is not reachable cause i’m pretty sure they have kept the receiver off of the phone…further I’m not in the same city as the bloody epf office is so I can’t even pay these useless bums a visit…so great..I’m stuck like many of you in the same status as my pf claim “under process”…congrats to those who have seen some movement in their claim..as for the rest of us…lets just pray to Goddess Laxmi!!

        • Akshay Bhandari says:
          April 30, 2018 at 9:48 am

            I’m back with an update, today (exactly a month after my application online) on this website https://goo.gl/xaRhHT, the PF amount has been approved. I have received no communication till date about anything. Hopes are still alive though 😉

            • Akshay Bhandari says:
              May 14, 2018 at 7:14 pm

              Hello All,

              Received the full claim finally after a little over a month. Going to provide a recap of my experience/happenings of the process for the benefit of all:-

              My ekyc was complete with Aadhaar, PAN verification failed as my first and last name were in different order, but since my years of service was more than 5 years, that did not matter.

              April 5th: Applied online for final settlement of PF amount. (no communication received)
              April 11th: Status changes to ‘Sent to field office’ ‘under process’ (no communication received)
              April 26th: PF balance becomes zero with no change in status. (no communication received)
              May 5th: Status changes to ‘approved’. (no communication received)
              May 7th: Status changes to ‘settled’ with date of neft as 7th May.(no communication received)
              May 10th: Money received in the bank account.(no communication received)

              In conclusion, I would like to state that the claim process is very erratic and subjective. Some receive their claim sooner than others and some very late and some don’t for weeks and months together as I have read in various online forums. The one thing all claimants need to have is loads of patience. This is a govt entity and will behave and work like one as well. Unless there is an error in your bank account or ekyc or some thing which is basic to the process, the claim will be settled sooner or later. Goodluck with your claim.

              Regards,
              Akshay

  • T V R Mohan says:
    April 21, 2018 at 6:29 pm

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I have worked in IT organization for 6.7 years and resigned on 22nd Dec 2017.

    I submitted Full Provident Fund settlement claim with “PAN not Verified status” from UAN Portal on 13th April 2018.

    Currently the status of the claim is “Online Claim Submitted at Portal”.

    I would like to cancel the current request and will claim new Full settlement PF request once my PAN details were verified successfully in UAN Portal

    Is there any way to cancel online?

    On 20th April 2018,I have already raise a GRIEVANCE in http://epfigms.gov.in portal and also mailed to concerned officer(sro.krpuram@epfindia.gov.in.)

    Am I in the right direction? else let me know how to cancel my current claim.

    Currently I am staying in KPHB Colony, Hyderabad.

    Please help me in this regards.

    Regards,
    Rammohan

    • T V R Mohan says:
      April 21, 2018 at 6:31 pm

      Also let me know duration for Claim Cancellation.

      • Sreekanth Reddy says:
        April 23, 2018 at 12:59 pm

        Dear Mohan.. I believe that there is no cancellation provision online.
        You may kindly contact the concerned EPF office in person or wait till you get a reply from the EPFO.

        • T V R Mohan says:
          April 23, 2018 at 7:19 pm

          Hi Srikanth,

          Thanks for suggestion.

          My intention in cancelling the current PF claim is due to the “PAN not Verified status” in UAN portal, this is happening when I tried to add PAN details in KYC section.

          Does PAN Verification is mandate for PF Claim to whom worked for 6.7 years in same IT organization and Claim amount more than 1lakh rupees.

          Moreover, my Aadhar was updated successfully in UAN Portal.

          Please provide your suggestions on it.

          Thanks and Regards,
          T V R Mohan

            April 24, 2018 at 3:41 pm

            Dear Mohan,
            Ideally TDS is not applicable if service period is more than 5 years or PF withdrawal is less than Rs 50k.
            But, I have noticed that EPFO is deducting TDS irrespective of claim amount and service period, if PAN has not been linked and verified in UAN interface.
            However, kindly note that the EPF balance withdrawal after 5 years is a tax-free income.
            In case, TDS gets deducted, one claim it as REFUND (if any) when filing income tax return.

    Hello Mr. Reddy,
    I am Mohil sharma.
    I raised my claim on 5th of April 2018 online against PV advance form. The amount I raised claim for was 63000 INR, which includes 31904 of employee share, 9809 of employer share and 21406 of pension contribution as shown in my passbook. However, today I received message for the amount being credited just 5000 INR against my claim of 63000 and the status has been updated online as settled. I am seeking your help on the information that how the amount is being settled.
    Looking forward to hear from you.

    The claim status shows as “Under Process”.
    As my current PF account is less than 5 years, would I be eligible to withdraw PF loan.

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      April 19, 2018 at 4:49 pm

      Dear Nissar,
      It depends on the purpose of withdrawal.
      Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawal options & rules..

      • Nissar says:
        April 20, 2018 at 11:45 am

        Thanks Sreekanth.

        Any idea how many days it will take to process.

        • Sreekanth Reddy says:
          April 20, 2018 at 12:21 pm

          Dear Nissar,
          Purchase of House/Flat through a Society / Housing Agency : If withdrawal application is through a Society then minimum years is 3 years. ( through a registered society or houses/flats being constructed through forming a society.) – Section 68 BD. In this case, 90% of EPF balance is payable as an Advance.

          Purchase of House/Flat directly from a Builder : In this case, the Membership service criteria to withdraw is still considered as 5 years only. – they are referring to Section 68B.

          For purchase of site directly from builder :
          24 month’s basic wages and DA.

          For purchase of house/flat/construction:
          36 month’s basic wages and DA
          OR
          Total of employee and employer share with interest
          OR
          Total cost.
          Whichever is least will be allowed as withdrawal.

          Online claims are generally settled and paid within 10 to 15 business days.

      Your previous employer need to update your DOE (Date of Exit) in order to see the form 19 and 10C

    Hi Sreekanth,

      Hi Nithin,
      It is not predictable, since there are many employees who are submitted PF Online claim from mid of the March whose PF is still not have got settled . And also there are some employees who submitted in April whose PF Claim got settled.

      So Please wait it will be a SURPRISE !!!

    I have two queries.
    .
    1 No amount has been credited to my account yet.
    2. I checked passbook its shows pf amount with withdraw entry but there is no withdraw for pension amount.

    Regards

      Hi Anil,
      May i know when did you submitted Claim in UMANG?
      once it is settled it will take 2 to 3 days to credit amount. Are you sure your bank details are active and IFSC code is correct?

      Regards,
      Satya

      • ANIL says:
        April 18, 2018 at 2:53 pm

        Hi Satya,

        Thanks for the reply. Amount credited to my account. One question,
        Ssme Pf balance as shown in passbook get credited but there is some deduction in eps pension amount .its not same as shown in passbook. There is some deduction of 8 to 10 percent. Why it is so..

        • Satya says:
          April 18, 2018 at 3:37 pm

          Hi ANIL,

          If your service with employer is less than 5 years, then there is 10% tax deduction on your pension scheme.

          I need information: When did you submitted your claim ? i need this because there are lot of folks who are posting on this portal saying they have submitted online claim long time but still their status is “Under process”. It is great if you give your resolution time for settlement so that i can share the info.

          Appreciate your valuable info.

          Regards,
          Satya

        Hey Satya,

        Just saw my status for both he claims was changed to claim settled. However, I have only received the amount of my pension after some interest deductions. I havent received the PF amount yet. Should I be worried or wait till tomorrow before taking an action.

        Thanks,

            Hey Satya,

            Yes, I received the amount. However, a 10% tax was deducted from my PF withdrawal amount. I didnt receive the amount which was mentioned in my PF Passbook. Can you tell me the reason for the same. Also, can I get this amount back somehow.

            Thanks,

            • Sreekanth Reddy says:

              Dear Tanvi,
              If your service period is less than 5 years then EPF full withdrawals are treated as taxable income (whether TDS is deducted or not).
              In case, your income is less than basic exemption limit for the said Financial year then you can claim such TDS as REFUND (if any) by filing your Income Tax Return.

  • Jess says:
    April 17, 2018 at 11:08 pm

    Hi Sreekanth,

    I had submitted PF claim online and it is settled except the pension contribution. I have a new UAN of my last working company. The second last company I had worked for had some glitches in my PF details and due to which I couldn’t link it to the new UAN and therefore claimed pf recently online.

    How do I deactivate the old UAN and apply for online claim for new UAN. Will there be any issue?

    Thanks,
    Jess

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:
      April 18, 2018 at 5:25 pm

      Dear Jess..You need to transfer the funds from old EPF ac to new EPF ac and during this process your old UAN gets automatically blocked.

      • Jess says:
        April 18, 2018 at 8:40 pm

    Hi Sreekant.

    This is sobha, from Port Blair, I have sent by courier the following dox with covering letter addressed to the Field Officer Hyderabad R.O on 7.04.18 and it has been delivered to them on 10.04.18. How do I keep a track? can I check the same in online claim status?

    1. Composite claim Form (Non-Aadhar) – 2Nos
    2. Form No. 15G- 2 Nos
    3. Joint Declaration with Employer.
    4. Bank Statement
    5. Aadhar Card (Xerox)
    6. Pan Card (Xerox)
    7. Member Passbook w.e.f 3/12 to 1/17
    8. Affidavit (Name correction)

    My name and DOB differ in UAN but in the Aadhar and PAN it is the same.
    Is the correction being done online only?

    can you please tell me the correction of the name & DOB will be done manually or Online? as the form is (Non – Aadhar based)

    can I check the status in ‘claim status’ in epfo.gov.in.?

    With regards
    Sobha

    • Sreekanth Reddy says:

      Yes, you can track it online.

      For name & DOB correction, you can submit the request online. Kindly go through this article..

    • sobha Nair says:
      April 16, 2018 at 12:35 pm

      sir

      Will they do it or I have to do it online. Because whenever I try to do the correction in Manage, Modify Basic details, and update the Aadhar Number and update my correct Name and DOB , first it is showing sent to the the Field officer and I receive message & sms also. But later I receive message that I have to send the following for DOB correction.
      . Education certificate (10th) ( which is missing)
      . Passport (I don’t have one)
      . Certificate from Registrar (birth) which is a long process.
      Both my parents died. My father was having the birth certificate with him.

      Is there is any other way to get rid of the above, and get my EPF which I had already sent to the R.O manually with all relevant documents with the signature and seal of my Ex employer.

      Can I apply through UMANG is it same procedure or different?
      I am struggling since one year. I am in debt please help me.

      BOTH MY PAN CARD AND AADHAR THE NAME AND DOB ARE SAME EXCEPT IN UAN WHICH I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE ONLINE.

        Today I checked the Claim Status which is showing “Received your claim on 16.04.18 and the claim is under process”

        What does it mean? Is it under process and how long it will take?

          Dear sobha..Suggest you to kindly wait for few more days and your claim can get settled.
          Under process -> Claim settled / Rejected -> If settled then Amount gets credited.
          This process can take around 10 days. Kindly keep a track of your claim status.

    Dear Sreekanth, I have applied for online claim through Umang app on 3rd of April. But still the status is showing as “under process”. The total claim amount is 12000 only. And I couldn’t able to update my PAN in kyc. Is it getting delayed for not linking PAN. Will it be rejected for this reason?

      Dear Jagadeesh .. You may soon get the amount. If PAN is not linked, EPFO may deduct TDS.

        Thanks for the reply,but I have my PAN. But I couldn’t update it. It says the name isn’t matching. How come it is my fault? Why should I pay TDS? Is there any solution for this?
        Thanks and regards

          Dear Jagadeesh,
          If service period is less than 5 years, EPF full withdrawals are considered as a taxable income as per the law (whether TDS is deducted or not).
          In case, your taxable income for the FY is below basic exemption limit and if TDS gets deducted, you can claim it as REFUND (if any) by filing your income tax return.
