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

- 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.)

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.

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,
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 ..
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?
Yes dear shivaprasad..the old UAN gets blocked..

The Claim form is form-19. Can you please tell me the reason behind rejection?
Thanks in Advance.
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.
Related article: What happens to EPS on Transfer of EPF account (or) when you switch Jobs?
Yes Sreekanth. KYC is in verified state.
But, what are these rejection comments?
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.

Hello Shrikanth /Sir/Sirs
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.
Thank you
Ashish
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.
Hi Sreekanth,
I worked for 3.5 years and now i am going to apply for 19 & 10C. My EPF is 55,646 INR and EPS is 31,283. I left company in Sep. I am eligible to withdraw both right ?
Pan card is linked so i need to upload 15G/15H as well ? Please advise
My Salary was 3,50,000 P/A. And i haven’t invested anywhere to show 80C/10 D.
Please advise.
Many thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Nisar Khadri
Dear Nisar,
Yes, you are eligible!
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.

Suggest you to check with your ex-employer and also submit a grievance request to the EPFO asking for more information on this claim rejection, via this link..
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.
since, i have worked in two different companies how can i withdraw my whole pf ??
because i am able to see only service id of last company where i had worked and i worked there only for one month. so, how can i withdraw pf of my previous company ??
Dear dipesh,
Are you currently employed and contributing to EPF Scheme?
No i left that job too…n m currently not working anywhere
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 .

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.”
Hello

I am eligible kindly advise
Dear Narendra..Yes, you can withdraw..You may kindly go through this articles –
* EPF partial withdrawal options and rules..
* EPF partial withdrawal for medical treatment..
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 Babu,
Did you update correct bank account under KYC and got it approved by your employer?
You may submit a grievance request to the EPFO via this link, to speed up the claim servicing process.
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?
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..
Dear Sreekanth,
I have selected it as ‘illness’ and it’s 15th day today,Still showing
it as ‘under process’
Dear Babu, you may kindly wait for few more days..keep a track of your claim status!
Thanks for your response…Much Appreciated..
Hello sir
Once again Krishna Murthy S
I have worked 4.5 years in old company unable withdrawal my PF from past 5 months recently I have submitted my offline claim to my previous employer but rejected because passbook copy not eligible once again I have submitted my withdrawal forms to my employer. Unfortunately I have joined my job last month but my present employer has added to my old UAN
Will it possible for claim offline with old employer. I have rejected my claim transfer also
Pls help me on this
Dear Krishna,
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.
Read : What happens to EPS on Transfer of EPF account (or) when you switch Jobs?
I had applied for advance PF withdrawal few days ago & its got rejected. 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 ?
Dear Mohammed,
May I know your original purpose of making a partial withdrawal claim?
Construction of my house as it has been damaged due to cyclone FANI happened few months ago at my home town Bhubaneswar.
Dear Mohammed,
Ok. Looks like the EPFO has considered your current service period only. Suggest you to submit a grievance request to them via this link..
Dear Sreekanth,
Grievance is not at all working ,though i submitted several times and my joining of epf date is very well mentioned more than 5 years in the service, UAN database then also they are not at all considering and every time coming out with rejection excuses
what to do next ,i joined present employer 2 years back but joined epfo services in 2013.
Dear Madhav,
Did you get the funds from previous EPF account(s) transferred to latest/current one?
If EPF regional office is in your location, you may visit them in person.
Hi Sreekanth,
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.
Hi Sreekanth,
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.
I tried to raise a grievance request 8 times but every time its says there is some error. I don’t know what to do now.
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
I had selected this on my first attempt and they rejected my request. Thats the reason I requested again selecting natural calamity.
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.

Dear Ameer,
If your Aadhaar has been seeded and verified in UAN portal then you can submit your Claim form to the EPFO regional office (Thane) directly by post (not courirer).
Enclose copies of Aadhaar, PAN card, cancelled cheque leaf (with your name imprinted on it), Form 15G (if required).

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.
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 Sreekanth,
I am form Bangalore & my PF office is in Chennai, if i submit my PF again through online then how can i submit my Form 15G at the same time. Coz it has to go through offline.
Dear Kiran,
Either your representative can submit in person (if possible) or you can try sending it via a registered post.
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for the responses. i have one more doubt.
My Bank account name is showing as – Kiran Kumar Salavadi
My Office name – Kiran Kumar Salavadi
Aadhaar name – Salavadi Kiran Kumar
PAN name – Salavadi Kiran Kumar
Please advise whether this format is fine or i have to do any corrections.
HiSreekanth,
Thanks for the responses. i have one more doubt.
My Bank account name is showing as – Kiran Kumar Salavadi
My Office name – Kiran Kumar Salavadi
Aadhaar name – Salavadi Kiran Kumar
PAN name – S Kiran Kumar
Please advise whether this format is fine or i have to do any corrections.
Dear Kiran,
Kindly re-chek the nake format in PAN by visiting IT dept e-Filing portal, as initials are not allowed in PAN database.
Also, you may have get your name updated in Aadhaar or in bank/EPF to match.
PAN – S Kiran Kumar, is just a display name.
Hi Sreekanth,
Thankq, i checked in PAN database it is showing Salavadi Kiran Kumar.
My Bank account name is showing as – Kiran Kumar Salavadi
My Office name – Kiran Kumar Salavadi
Aadhaar name – Salavadi Kiran Kumar
PAN name – Salavadi Kiran Kumar
So now i need to change both my bank & office name. What is the procedure please advise?

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
Dear anand,
If the transfer has been successful, your total accumulated which is more than 5 years will be considered.
EPF partial withdrawals are not taxable.

Hi Shreekant,
My PF got rejected and the reason mentioned is “ Bank details address not in PDF/ok”
These are the exact words. I am unable to understand what this means. I checked my bank account details for an infinite time. Do you have an idea what this means ? I will be really obliged as I needed the money on an urgent basis but got rejected twice 🙁
Dear Gurpreet,
This can be something to do with their internal procedures.
‘They generate PDF forms for claim processing..”looks like your kyc details might not be reflecting..
Suggest you to kindly submit your grievance to the EPFO online .. through this link ..
Great thanks 🙂

Dear MANI,
You can submit a copy of your PAN, Aadhaar card, Form 15G and cancelled cheque leaf to the concerned EPF office.
Kindly quote your UAN and claim reference no on the documents.
As your service period is less than 5 years, the EPF withdrawal is a taxable income (irrespective of TDS gets deducted or not).

Sreekanth,
Thanks for this process documentation. I have applied for partial Withdrawal for some medical needs. The current status is “Under Process” for 5 days now. Should i raise a EPFO grievance for this?
Please let me know what is the proces time for the same.
Regards,
Naveen P.
Dear Naveen,
EPFO may take around 10 to 15 days to process online claims..
Sreekanth , Thanks a lot for answering my question.
I have one more question. If I apply PF withdrawal online for purchase/construction of house, would I get the amount directly in my bank account?
and do I have to submit any supporting documents for property?
Dear pankajV,
Yes, amount gets credited in bank account.
There is no need to submit any documents..
There is confusion around years of service eligibility for home loan repayment withdrawal. You have mentioned 5 years but elsewhere it says 10 years. and next doubt is , why the house loan repayment option does not appear in the EPF portal.
Dear Pankaj,
It is 10 years!
You may kindly go through my article at this link..

Can you please let me know what will be reason if the amount was claimed for 2lacs but approval amount is 172000 and what amount remaining amount
Hi Sreekanth,
I already made an online partial claim for 4 times. Now I am unable to do a online partial claim. I am getting an error MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ONLINE CLAIM SUBMISSION HAVE BEEN EXEED, PLEASE SUBMIT CLAIM THROUGH PHYSICAL MODE. Kindly let me know how to proceed? I made claims for medical treatment and I has been settled for all 4 times.
Dear Paranee,
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.
You may also submit your grievance to the EPFO via this link..
Thanks for the quick response. Will it work after March?

Dear Jayaprabhakar,
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).

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 ?
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.

Hi Sreekanth,
I am moving to the US in a few weeks. I am still not terminated from my company’s records (this will happen in a few weeks). What is the best way for PF and pension full withdrawal?
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..
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?
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.
Kindly read :

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.
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 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.

Does it mean I need to request Form 11 from my previous company (KN/41023/xxxxx) and resubmit them in offline mode? Because in online we dont have any option to upload any document.

The amount generally gets credited within 2 to 5 days from claim settlemnet date..

Tried calling on the number that i could get but all the numbers either kept ringing or incorrect
Hey Sreekanth
You are doing a great help with your blog. I have a question on the process flow of PF withdrawal process. So if the status is “under process” does that mean that the claim was approved by the field Officer?
Dear Faizal,
Under process does not mean the claim is approved.
The EPFO can reject or accept the claim after it processes it.

Dear Murali ..Yes, you may do so..
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..
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 Sir,
I applied for partial withdrawal on 28.12.2018, till today 11.01.2019 status was showing under process, but today on 12.01.2019 approved amount is showing But, Dispatch date : N/A, and status “STATUS NOT AVAILABLE” What is it means
Dear Shabeer,
You may receive the amount soon.
It takes 2 to 5 business days from claim settlement date to receive the amount..
one question
claim is not submitted on portal,please try again late……..?
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
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
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.
first i have applied for form 31 because from 10c & 19 was not showing in option. What will be my next action.please advice.
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.
Sai.
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.

Dear Priti,
If this an online claim then you may submit your grievance to the EPFO via this link..
Hello sir, my PF online withdrawal claim rejected with following reason ” SERVICE DETAILS FROM OTHER ESTT COUNT IT DOUBLE SUBMIT FOR COREECTION THROUGH TECHNICAL SECTION/OK” what does mean?
Dear Ankit,
Looks like this is a technical issue. Your ex-employer might have submitted your service details twice to the EPFO.
Suggest you to kindly contact your employer/EPFO for more details.
You can submit your grievance to the EPFO via this link..
Thank you sir for your feedback. I register grievance and got reply that ” transfer in amount could not be processed due to technical problem and matter has been referred to technical team. Please wait for sometime.” So do I need to submit claim again or technical will inform me if it’s resolved, because my status shows rejected so are they still working on it? Thanks.
Dear Ankit,
Suggest you to wait for couple of days and then again submit Grievance request, if you dont get reply from them.
You may then submit your claim request again.
Meanwhile, kindly check with your ex-employer as well.
Hello sir
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.
Dear Jyoti,
Was the transfer of funds successful? Did you select both form 10c and Form 19?
Hi sir I want to withdraw my whole pf amount ie period of my service is 3 yrs but while applying online only form no 31 is in option and it guides for partly withdrawal so please guide me
Dear Dr Suniil,
Mostly, your ex-employer might not have updated the Date of Exit under Services history menu tab. Kindly check with them.
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.
Dear Meenakshi,
Kindly note that EPS pension is payable only if the service period is more than 10 years.
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.
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.
Hi, I have online transfer the previous pf a/c to new pf a/c as no option to online withdraw but status shows as submitted even after 40 days. Please explain what does that mean?. Tried to send hard copies to previous employer and epf office but got rejected stating that i need to apply withdrow/transfer online and no physical documents are required.
Dear Mahi,
If you are currently employed and have been contributing to EPF scheme then you can not withdraw (full) PF.

Dear Archana,

Hi Sir, I submitted online PF advance claim for illness on 6th September 2018 and status still showing under process. I tried to know reason for delay and submitted grievance. They closed it stating that claim is in progress. I recently changed employment and new of account has been added on my UAN. Is this delaying the process? Please advise
Dear Ramesh,
Change of employment may not affect your partial claim request.
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.
Hi sir,
My date of joining is 01.06.2017 and date of leaving an organization is 31.07.2018. The same is updated in my pf 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
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.
Dear sir,

Please help me to know if i can claim partial amount under illess form 31 thrice in ayear . Means what is the frequency in a year to claim.
Dear Rajindra,
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..
Hi Sreekanth,
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
Dear BASANTA,
If the bank account number and name are correct then you should receive the claim amount even if the IFSC code is incorrect.

Hi Sreekanth,
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. Do I need to submit the Pan card copy for online application also?
My Regional office is Chennai and my service period was 4+ Years.
Dear Asad..Kindly refer to our FB conversation..
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
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).

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
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..

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.

Dear Ashish,
You may kindly submit your grievance to the EPFO..click here..
I have already submitted the same on 26th june with reference number DELSO/E/2018/10970, but its only showing status as “RECEIVED THE GRIEVANCE”. Please suggest the next action. do i need to take the loan statement from bank to show it as a proof? how much advance i can get against it? will i be able to withdraw my employee and employer share as advance? how long it takes to reply or solve a problem when submit grievance?
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.
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 :
* New EPF Composite Claim Form | Single Page Form for different types of PF Withdrawals (Full / Partial)
* EPF Interest Income & Withdrawals | Tax Implications | Is EPF Interest taxable?

Hi,
My First job PF amount not able draw. It has PF trust. When i raised query to EPF grievance said exit date is not mentioned. Previous company is not co operating. How to proceed further
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.
hello,
i leave my job on 26th may 2018, and join new company due to no work life balance, i worked from 12 noon to night 1 or 2 am around, so there were no work life balance, i given resignation but my employer say i will not accept this,

he herrasing me that i delete some of his computer files important documents,
but he dont have this proof, but i have proof that i did not do this,
as i have record an another call with my company another staff, he said all files are ok, before my leaving there were an a another staff also, when he leave they said the same thing to him that you deleted files, but on that time I have checked file that all were ok, they saying this not for paying due salary, the owner always use mothe* ch**, bad speeches, so i leave the job,
but he hold my salary, hold my pf, i have already updated my pf kyc, but till 2 months they dont verify that,he also not ready to give signature in my pf withdrawal form,
how to get my pf amount,as currently in my new company there are no EPF or ESIC,
from last 6 days, he saying many people that he will see me,will heat me, kill me and many more,
what can i do now ???
i have all call records,pf details,esic details also,,
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?
Hi, I applied for PF loan of 35k. status is showing CLAIM SETTLED and amount is debited from PF account but not credited to my bank account which is linked to PF account. later I noticed my bank account number was wrong. now I updated the correct bank details. what will happen now?
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?
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.
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)
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?
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.
Hello Sreekanth,
I have applied for PF on May 19th. Sent to field office on same day. today is 14th day(jun 4th)excluding sat and sun. but it is not approved. it still shows under process. If claim settled need to be done 15 days it should hav been approved by 4th june 2018.
pls suggest

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
Also my DOJ and DOE of the previous org are updated as per the service history shown in epf website
Dear Kowshi,
You may kindly go through this article @ What happens to EPS on Transfer of EPF account (or) when you switch Jobs?
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
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.
Hi Srikanth,

Dear SYED,
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..
Hi SreeKanth,
I have 2 PF account, both are from Chennai ofc and from same company. Latest one is added in the UAN. 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.
Is there anything that i have done wrong.
Is there anyways of doing it apart from manual ftransfer via employer.
Please suggest.

subrata
Dear Subrata,
Is your previous EPF account maintained by a Pvt Trust of your ex-employer?
Hi Sreekanth,
Both PF are from same company (same PF office , no previous company). PF accounts are maintained by same (no pvt trust).
Dear Subrata,
An employer can provide only one EPF account. I am not sure how can they provide two EPF accounts??
Suggest you to contact your employer reg this..
Dear Sreekanth Sir,

Dear Niten,

Did you also apply for EPS (Form 10c)?
Is you PAN linked and verified in UAN interface?
Hi Srikant
I have 2 account under same UAN after successful online withdrawl submission i have checked and found that the date of joining and reveling is showing for last company. Questions are

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.
Adil
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.
Thanks for you prompt response Sreekanth.
I haven’t transfer fund from old EPF account to the latest one. Need your assistance here.
How can i withdraw old EFP , what is the porcess and how much time will it take.

Once you transfer the funds, you can withdraw partial withdrawal only, if you are employed.

Hi Sreekanth,
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
Rahul
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?
Dear Kiran,

Suggest you to contact the EPFO immediately.

Dear Rajindra,
Did they mention any reason for rejection?
Did you mention any purpose/reason for your partial withdrawal?
I have mentioned the reason illness, the same i had mentioned in first claim also.
Dear Rajindra,
Mostly there may not be any eligible available balance for withdrawal.
“For the purpose of ‘medical treatment’, the least of 6 months basic wages (or) employee share with interest is allowed as partial withdrawal.”
Hi Sreekanth,
Can you please expalin why the EPF approved amount and the amount i received is not same?
Thanks
Dinesh Reddy
Dear Dinesh..Is this partial or full PF withdrawal?
Are your KYC details have been approved and verified in UAN interface? (Aadhaar/PAN)
Hi Srikanth,
Applied for form-19 on 1-may -2018 which is approved(But did not get the same approved amount), Yes my KYC details are verified. And applied for Form -10c on 10-may, it is under process.
ThanksDinesh
Dear Dinesh,
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?
Hi Srikanth,
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
Dinesh
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
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
Hi Srikanth,
A small question, is it possible to calim the TDS deducted, if we are no more working in india?
Thanks
Dinesh
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.
Thanks a lot Srikanth for your great work

Hello,
I raised withdrawal request for PF advance on 28 Apr 18 through online. The same has sent to field office and the status was set to Under Process on 29th April. I still see no changes on my request and It’s under process only. Can you please advise how to deal with it?
I have completed already 5 years with my company and requested for 80% of my pf amount with the reason for Natural Calamities. Hope there are no issues with my request.
Dear Deepan,
I dont think you can get 80% of your balance for the said reason.

Dear Mr. Reddy ,
I have tried raising a claim online for pf advance but it says “maximum number of online application is reached , please apply offline .”
Could you please tell me what is this maximum limit of online applications and when I can apply further again?
Dear Amitabh,
May I know the purpose of partial withdrawal? Did you apply for the same reason recently?
No , I had applied for Mother;s illness recently. I wanted to withdraw further for house construction .
Dear Amitabh,
Suggest you to submit your grievance to the EPFO and ask for clear reason..click here..
Hi Sreekanth , as per paisa bazar website , the minimum service required is 3 yrs for house construction ( partial pf withdrawal ) ..is it correct ?
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.
Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawal options & rules.
I have applied PF online on 9/5/2018 on and it is showing settled in claim portal payment sent on 10/5/2018 through NEFT. But in UAN my bank account number is with 11 digits(It should be 12 digit) only …first number is missing…What needs to be done..Please suggest…
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..
Please suggest.
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.
Dear Chandra,
“For the purpose of ‘medical treatment’, the least of 6 months basic wages (or) employee share with interest is allowed as partial withdrawal.”
Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawal rules & options
Hi Mr Reddy,
I have applied for final settlement of my pf on 2nd May 2018. Could you please tell exactly how many days would be taken for the approval.
Please note that everything is fine with documentation.
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
Ulhas B
Dear Ulhas,
EPF interest generally gets reflected in passbook by June.
However, if you withdraw funds now, you will still be receiving the interest for accumulated balance as on last month.
Thanks, Sreekant for this valuable info.

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 ?

Dear Kumar,
For short service cases, one can withdraw EPS through offline mode.
Hello,
I have applied for PF withdrawal and EPS online on 7th May 2018 but still it is showing under process , may i know when should i except the settlement message and amount.

Mam can you plz call me I need to discuss about pf thanks
Please update on my comment as well as still it is showing under process from last 7-8 days.
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
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.
He can not withdraw pension (10c) only, all he is required to have the date of exit updated.
Hi All,
Update – My claim was settled/dispatched on 1st MAY and today I have received the payment into my bank account.
Again thanks to Mr Reddy for such a helpful Blog.

Dear Sudhakar,
EPFO is just creating a lot of confusion in this regard.
Till now, for online partial withdrawal claims, employer is not involved. Not sure, if there is a new notification in this regard, which I am not aware of…
Hi Sreekanth,
I have submitted form 31 on 7th April and the status changed to “Under process” on 11th April. I see the same status from then.
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.
Thanks and Regards,
Deepa
Same thing happened in my case as well. The passbook shows amount debited under Claim Against PARA 68J however when I checked EPF Claim Status, it shows Status Not Available.

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
Dear Sir,
Last week only i myself withdrawmy pf advance Rs.40000/- due to my illness. And after my withdrawal, portal shows Employee Share Rs.26000/- is there.. I want Again Rs.20000/- very badly for my some illness. I Myself today submitted form 31 for again withdrawal (Rs.20000/-) The current Portal shows now ” Your Online claim Submitted at Portal”… Am i eligible for this Rs.20000/-??? It will not Reject ??? I have doubt regarding this.. Kinldy do the needful..
When I will get Rs.20000/- Credits???
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.”
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.
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.
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?

subrata
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.
Thanks & Regards
Dibyojyoti Das
Dear DIBYOJYOTI ..Yes, you have to share the same UAN number with your new employer in future.
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
Sorry for typo..
Dates are not of April. It’s 1-5-18 claim submitted and 3-5-18 status changed to settled.
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.
Still not received the funds. Status still shows as claim settled.
No change since 3rd May. Hope it gets credited today.
Deepak…please leave a message here once you recv fund..
like me there are a few more in the queue from 3rd may here

subrata
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
thanks for this update … I will also try to call
Thank you dear Deepak, for sharing this info!
Just got sms from Bank that amount has been credited… Finally.
So it took 10 business days for me.
Subrata – I hope you also get it today.
thanks
Thank you dear Deepak, for sharing the status update!
Dear Sir,
I have submitted claim of my PF Amount on 3 April 2018 and when i submitted the same its show Form 19 and Form 10 C but its filled only one so i filled Form 19 and its settled on 03 May 2018 but Pension amount not settled and now when i filled form 10 C its showing >>>>>>> DATE OF EXIT IS LESS THAN 2 MONTHS FROM TODAY OR TOTAL SERVICE IS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS……
So Please guide me accordingly when i get Pension amount
With Regards
Dear VIJIT,

You can have to submit form 10c through offline.
Thank you So much sir….

Suggest you to update your bank details under KYC immediately and get them approved by your employer.
hi
I have left my previous organisation on 27.02.2018 but my current organisation have still not made my pf account link to my uan can i go ahead and withdraw my pf amt before the new pf account is link to my uan
No, You cannot withdraw as you are still contributing in EPF.
You can take advance once your PF account is transferred to new employer.
Dear rizwan.. Suggest you not to withdraw funds from your old EPF ac.
Kindly get the new EPF ac linked to same old UAN and then transfer the funds from old EPF ac to latest one.

Cross-check if you have provided correct bank account details in your UAN account.

In this stage, do I need to issue re authorisation letter to transfer to new account number.

Dear RAVI,
There have been lot of tech issues being reported @ EPFO online claim processing facility.
Suggest you to wait for few more days for the claim status to change or try submitting the claim requests again (if the system allows you to do so..).
My online epf form-19 is settled and sent via neft on 20/04/2018 then i did recieve the money only epf and deduction in my epf passbook has already made). I did not receive my eps amount. Kindly guide me how to withdraw my eps amount by online.
Dear MOHIT ..You need to submit Form 10c also to get EPS full amount. (provided your service period is less than 10 years)
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.
Have you received any response for the status
No update yet. Meanwhile the PF Passbook is also been removed, am getting Error Code FO0001=4063, while trying to open the passbook on EPFO website. Fortunately saved a copy with complete balanced Passbook a day before yesterday, in case required.
Please keep us posted if you received any response…

So that we guys will plan accordingly. Since we dont find any response from EPFO we have come to you.
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Sir,
I dont know how, but I have 2 UAN number,
First one is 5 year old and now where I have some amount . Second one is from my current employer.
I want to withdraw all my money from First UAN (PF account) is it possible as I am currently working in new establishment.
Also could you please let me know, if withdraw is not possible how to merge these 2 UAN in single active UAN.
Thanks
Vishal T
Dear Vishal,
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.
Kindly read : Have you been allotted two UAN numbers? How to get multiple EPF UANs merged?
Hi
I submitted my Online PF claim on 27 March but till date it is showing under process
Not able to connect customer helpline number also to know the status
Kindly suggest what to do
My Claim Status shows sent to field office on 11 April 2018. Under Current status its showing as Under Process. How much time will it take. As per govt guidelines request should be handled within 5 days. Any estimate how much time will it take more??
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.
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!!
no change in status…no communication..infact now pf balance has become nil (:P) … i’m jus watching the drama unfold!!
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 😉
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
Thank you dear Akshay, for sharing this information! Good luck and keep visiting ReLakhs.
