Online EPF Withdrawal facility has been one of the long-pending requests from the EPF members. At present, the turn around time to settle EPF withdrawal claims is around 30 days. In some cases, it goes beyond 30 days.
Online PF withdrawal facility can end the tedious paper work that it presently needs and make the process a lot simpler for EPF members. The EPFO has been planning to launch the online PF withdrawal facility for the last one year or so.
Good news is finally out.. Today, EPFO has released a press notice that henceforth all 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)
The physical processing of the above three claims form around 80% of EFO’s workload (claim-processing). So, online PF withdrawal facility may prove to beneficial for both EPF members and EPFO’s employees.
Online EPF Withdrawal : Details & Procedure
Below are the pre-requisites to submit online PF claims ;
- UAN & Mobile Number : To avail online EPF withdrawal facility, you should have activated your UAN (Universal Account Number) and the mobile number which is linked to your UAN should be in working condition.
- Aadhar : Your Aadhar number should have been seeded in EPFO website.
- Bank Account : Your bank account and its applicable IFSC Code should have been seeded with your UAN.
- PAN : Permanent Account Number (PAN) should also been seeded in EPFO database for PF Final settlement claims in case your service is less than 5 years. (Read : ‘EPF Withdrawals & new TDS rules‘)
How to withdraw EPF & EPS balance online?
- You need to login to UAN portal (member interface) with your credentials.
- Kindly check your KYC details whether they are correct and have been verified.
- You have to select relevant withdrawal claim namely ; EPF full withdrawal (and / or) EPS withdrawal claim (or) EPF advance.
- You have to authenticate online PF claim using OTP (One-time password) received against the mobile registered with UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) to complete the online claim submission. So, your mobile number linked to your UAN and Aadhar should be one and the same.
- EPFO will get your e-KYC (Aadhaar) credentials from UIDAI and processes your online PF claim.
An EPF member can complete the whole process online. As per EPFO, for online withdrawal facility, there is no need to interact with your employer / EPFO staff. The claim submitted by you would flow in soft form to EPFO database where it will be processed and your bank account will be credited with the claim amount.
For online EPF partial withdrawal, you are not required to give any supporting documents. Member’s applying online will be taken as his / her self-declaration for preferring the advance claim.
EPFO says that with the launch of this online EPF withdrawal facility, the settlement of PF claims can happen within few hours. Let’s hope this new provision proves to be useful and beneficial to all the EPF members.
(Kindly note that for ‘Online EPF transfer’ & ‘EPS Withdrawals’, seeding of Aadhaar number to UAN is not mandatory.)
Latest Update (27-June-2018) : 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).

When i go to UAN portal for withdraw of PF, only option of PF withdrawn is showing. Please guide me as i want to withdraw full amount.
Dear sanjay,
As you are contributing to EPF scheme again and employed, you can not make full withdrawal from your previous EPF ac.
You have to get the funds transferred from old EPF ac to current EPF account and then can apply for partial withdrawal (if required).

My sister quit her job almost 1 yr back for some reasons. Now her ex-employer is not willing to help with regard to her pf account. Only Aadhaar is seeded in UAN & the rest not updated.
How can I go about???
Is there any way out for her pf withdrawal without having to do with the said ex-employer…
Wud really appreciate your valuable advice.
Ragards,
JAMES

If so, kindly submit your grievance to the EPFO at this link..
Hi Sreekanth
Actually I’ve quit my job in 2011 & that time the UAN process was not there for the withdrawal of the PF amount. It came into existence in 2014.
Then I contacted my company to generate my UAN No. They generated my UAN No. and I’ve registered my Aadhar No. with UAN portal.
And now when I’m trying to fill the details in KYC the following error popup in the screen:
“This functionality will be available, once your UAN is linked to any establishment” .
Kindly help me to resolve the problem.
Regards
Megha
Dear Megha,
You need to link your EPF account (member-Id) to your UAN.
Else, you can submit withdrawal request (offline) through your ex-employer as well. (assuming you are not contributing to EPF scheme now).
After entering the adhaar otp first I’m getting a socket time out error and then invalid otp, please try after some time. Kindly help.

Dear saju,
If you are employed and currently contributing to EPF scheme then you can not withdraw full PF balance either from previous or current EPF account(s).
Suggest you to transfer the funds from old EPF account to new EPF account.
You can only make partial withdrawals.

Hi,
I claimed for my pf part withdrawal, before claiming i did transfer my pf from old company to new company and is successfully done and in present company passbook it is showing the past company amount also. Now when I claimed I got only amount of present company employee share. I didnt get the past company employee share.
Please help me on this issue.
Dear Subbu,
I believe that you are referring to EPS amount.
Suggest you to kindly go through this article @ What happens to EPS on Transfer of EPF account (or) when you switch Jobs?
Hi Sreekanth – It’s more than two months since I have come out of my last job (after working for more than 8 years) and currently not working, hence understand that I can withdraw EPF. However, I have couple of queries that hopefully you would be able to clarify: (1) am I allowed to withdraw full EPF amount or any restrictions? (2) given that EPF interest for FY2018-19 is going to be announced towards the end of current financial year only, how will EPFO pay interest for the period from start of Apr 2018 till I raise EPF withdrawal request i.e. will it be based on previous year or is it essentially lost?
Thank you very much for your inputs..
Dear Raj,
Yes, you can withdraw full EPF/EPS.
In case, you withdraw your EPF balance now, you will get the interest payment till date.
Hi.
It was already 20 days i have applied for my pf but still it is showing under process.

Also tried on Umag app like you said, and same response there too. I have emailed to grievance cell and sent email to employee feedback email. Not sure what to do. Maybe just wait and check every day.

Download your Aadhar card and open it in Adobe reader. You can find signature unknown or unverified box.
Please follow these steps to verify the digital certificates and digital signatures received from trusted sources:

Left-click on the Digital Signature field.
Click “Verify Signature”.
Click “Properties”.
Click “Verify Identity”.
Add “Contact information for certificate owner:”.
Click “Add to List”.
Click “Close”.
Click “Verify Signature”.
The “Validity Status” should now show “Signature is valid”.
Click “Close”.
Digital Signature should now display a check mark and “Signature Valid”.
Same issue but can we withdraw the pf after we verify the digital signature in aadhar card
No we can’t. I tried withdrawing after i have validated the aadhar signature. EPF portal is still giving XML error even after aadhar sign is validated.
This i got from pf team for above issue.i have also same issue.

If you are employed and currently contributing to EPF scheme then you can not withdraw full PF balance either from previous or current EPF account(s0.
Suggest you to transfer the funds from old EPF account to new EPF account.
Hi
Could answer below questions
1. Unable to withdraw because of the same error which are reported below.When is this error going to be fixed.
2. For Claim we only have two options “Only PF withdrawal (Form 19)” and “Only Pension withdrawal (Form 10C)” ; Cant we withdraw both PF and Pension together ?
Dear Paul,
1 – Looks like its a temporary tech issue. You may submit grievance to the EPFO..click here..
2 – You can submit both forms separately.
Same error reported when you try to raise a Claim and get OTP via AAdhar. Looks like a glitch on EPF website. why are they taking so long to fix this ? this has been an issue for the last 3 days. Customer service number is not reachable.. always busy. No email to communicate to them.
No idea or ETA on when this issue with DIGITAL CERTIFICATE ERROR will get resolved.
Same here I am also facing same issue
Hi I’m getting Invalid key info in digital signature error message what should I have to do?
When trying online claim getting error “Error: Invalid key info in digital signature (this means that certificate used for signing the authentication request is not valid – it is either expired, or does not belong to the AUA or is not created by a well-known Certification Authority).” Please somebody help on this issue
it is a technical glitch according to PF officer
Same here 🙁

Hi Sree,
I have applied for Partial PF withdrawal online under illness clause but while filling the form I mentioned amount which is sum of my employee and employer share. Later I came to know we can only withdraw employee share or 6 month wages whichever is minimum. I wanted to know whether my claim will be approved or not?
Dear Uzair,
EPFO will mostly process your application and they will sanction the amount as per the eligibility conditions irrespective of the amount you had claimed.
Hi Sreekanth,
Please let me know, what could be the issue. I am receiving the below error.
Appreciate you help.
“Error: Invalid key info in digital signature (this means that certificate used for signing the authentication request is not valid – it is either expired, or does not belong to the AUA or is not created by a well-known Certification Authority).” during pf withdrawal .
Check with your employer if they had valid digital signature certificate or not. I think DSC of your employer is inactive. without active DSC in your employer UAN potal yours claim cannot be verified.
Problem with only employer i have also same issue i have contacted my employer today only solved my isssue
Hi Bharath,
I have also same issue and I contacted my employer also but they are saying everything is fine from there side. Can you throw some information which you knows.

Hi Koushik, Did you get to know what the possible reason for this?
Hi Aruna,

Check with your employer if they had valid digital signature certificate or not. I think DSC of your employer is inactive. without active DSC in your employer UAN potal yours claim cannot be verified.

Even I am facing the same issue
One of the other forums was saying this was a technical glitch. But even I am facing the same issue and am unable to submit online. Few weeks ago, I saw the message Online PF submission under maintenance and now this!
HI Kaushik. I am also facing the same error. If you are having the resolution for the same. Please let me knw. 9729700787 my whatsapp no.
I spoke with pf officer…it is a technical glitch…will be solved in a day or 2 itseems

Im also facing the same error, “Error: Invalid key info in digital signature (this means that certificate used for signing the authentication request is not valid – it is either expired, or does not belong to the AUA or is not created by a well-known Certification Authority).”

Hi
i have two pf accounts
1)one pf account is 5 years old(2013) now in active state don’t have any uan no and left it like that.
2)after i joined another company . they create another pf account with UAN no and pan card is not validated
can i withdraw pf from both account by submitting the form offline
please let me know
Dear sakala ..Yes, you can withdraw both the accounts. You need to quote new UAN number even in EPF -1 withdrawal claim form (as quoting of Aadhaar is mandatory on claim forms).
Your name in EPF accounts should be same as in any of the ID proofs (like Aadhaar).
Kindly read : New EPF Composite Claim Form | Single Page Form for different types of PF Withdrawals (Full / Partial)

hello Mr. Reddy-
in my old company i worked more than 1 year but due to short time of project i left that job and after some time i joined new company now im working there, So currently my both UAN no are active.
Basically i have two queries-
1-if i want to withdraw my full settlement from old company is is possible.
if yes then how ? because when i’m trying to withdraw online its showing two option one is for EPF settlement and another is for EPS settlement but there is no option for both settlement.
2-if i want to transfer my old account to new one then what will happend as my new eployer is exempted and they are not showing the member passbook.
Is it trustfull to transfer amount in new employer?
Kindly suggest me with complete details.
Dear Dhirendra,
1 – An employee should have only one active UAN. Suggest you to transfer the funds from old EPF ac to new EPF ac.
If you are currently working and contributing to EPF scheme, you can not make full balance withdrawal.
2 – Kindly contact your ex-employer and get the transfer done to your new EPF ac.
Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawal options & rules..
Hi,

In Online services, I have selected CLAIM(Form-31, 19&10c), then it asked me to verify the bank acc. no. After doing that I proceeded to the page where I need to select the form. Here the option for 10c is not visible. Only form 31 is visible.

Dear Himanshu,
As you are currently employed and contributing to EPF scheme, you can not withdraw full balance from your previous EPF account.
You have to TRANSFER funds from your old EPF account to current one.
After that, you may make partial withdrawal.
Kindly read :

i requested to withdraw epf online for illness but they rejected my claim by saying “SUBMIT ESI EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE/OK”.
Dear Rajan,
Earlier, to avail, partial withdrawal for medical treatment, one has to submit the ESIC certificate or doctor certificate. But as per the recent amendments, you are no longer be required to submit any medical certificate or any other certificate or document or any proforma whatsoever to avail advance.
This new guideline has been included and amended under paragraph 68-J or under paragraph 68-N of EPF Scheme 1952.
You may submit your grievance to the epfo online..click here..
you are saying that you are no longer be required to submit any medical certificate or any other certificate or document to avail advance for illness. But under the paragraph 68-J or under paragraph 68-N of EPF Scheme 1952, it is clearly written that you have to produce doctor certificate or ESI exemption certificate to avail advance. Please help
Dear Rajan,
I believe that EPFO has issued guidelines further to this notification. Blog readers who applied for partial withdrawals got the amount without submitting any documentary evidence.
You may kindly recheck this with your employer or EPFO.
Sreekanth.
I have raised partial pf claim on 23rd Feb through online UAN portal. Till now status shows ‘Under process’, no other update is shown. It’s ten days now.

I am feeling helpless as in pf dept they said they can’t do anything for online claim when I went there and helpline numbers call is not picked.
Thanks

Dear Ajit,
Are you currently employed?
If so, you need to transfer the funds from old EPF ac to new one and can submit partial withdrawal.
I am currently, but no EPF is deducted in the new company. Please advise.
Dear Ajit..You may withdraw funds from old EPF account offline through ex-employer and the recent one online.
Else, you can transfer funds from old EPF ac to latest one, consolidate it and then can apply for online claim.

For submitting EPS withdrawal online, one should have service of more than 6 months and less than 9.5 years.
You may have to go for offline claim for EPS (form 10c).
Dear concerned
I am trying to claim for my final pf settlement but I have received final amount from the latest employer contribution only (form 19,
DSNHP093968800000***** ) and have not received amount from previous account …I want to withdraw from the first company (DSNHP003396700000*****) .my uan is activated with all ekyc approved..and also my previous account are transferred to the current one …please guide how to withdraw the amount..I have an urgent need…my total working tenure is 2 and half years
Dear Kush .. You may be referring to EPF amount and have not received EPS (pension amount).
If so, you will get it in few days (EPF amount through Form 10c).
Sir I have received the eps and Epf from one member id but not from the previous one ( neither epf nor eps) in which I was employed before
Dear Kush,
Kindly contact the EPFO..
Hello,
I made a mistake while putting in the amount for the online withdrawl [Form 31] on the EPF site. I put in 9% of the amount where in I should have put in 90%. This is for purchase of a new house.
I would like to know whether it is possible (once this claim of 9% is processed) that I put in another claim for the remainder of the amount ?
Dear Aditya,
If you are buying directly from a builder then 90% of EPF is not allowed.
This is allowed only in case if one applies through a housing or cooperative society & the min service period is 3 years in this case.
If you are applying individually then 5 years is the minimum service period for partial withdrawal towards house construction.
If application is through a society or housing agency then minimum period is 3 years and you can claim 90% of outstanding EPF balance as withdrawal.
Hello,
I would like to do partial withdrawal from my present EPF from my contribution. This will be thru online (https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/). will i have to submit any documents when withdrawing, I can see from passbook Employee Share is around 3.25 L .can i be able to withdraw 2.25L , kindly suggest and also for this amount do i need to submit any proofs.
Dear
I confused to fill the form 10c .I have both pf accounts no and pension account no but in form 10c account sections column what we fill pension account no or pf account no.please revert back
Dear Naveen ..Are you submitting Consolidated Claim form?
No
Dear Naveen..If you are submitting an offline claim, only CCF forms are accepted by the EPFO.
Dear Sir,
My UAN account is showing only the most recent company in service history, because I wasn’t allotted UAN with my earlier company. I had transferred the earlier PF balance and it shows up in my latest UAN passbook. My online UAN account shows the date-of-joining and date-of-leaving only for my last company. The combined tenure for both company total more than 5 years, but my recent service is only 3 years. I am worried TDS will be deducted. I asked EPF Twitter and they ask me to email [email protected]. “[email protected]” always returns the same cooked response to contact my company. I also submitted a request to link my old PF account to UAN using the “One Employee-One EPF account” option in epfindia.gov.in website, but no action is taken for months. My companies are not helping either.
1. I am not being prompted for TDS till the ‘submit-claim’ step. Will they deduct TDS without warning?
2. Is TDS levied on the entire amount or only the interest? I had put a lot of personal contribution as well.
3. If 1 & 2 are YES, how can I escalate this issue and get my earlier service record connected with my UAN?
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
Dear Vijay,
If you have transferred the funds from your old EPF ac to new EPF ac, and if the PF balance is being reflected in UAN passbook then what is the issue here?
You may try to get more information on transfer of funds status by submitting your grievance online..click here..
My main concern is whether TDS will be deducted, since the UAN account shows only service of 3 years. The tenure of earlier service is not on being shown.
Is TDS levied on the entire amount or only the interest?
Thanks,
Vijay
Dear Vijay ..TDS (if any) is applicable on the entire amount.
Thanks, Sreekanth
Hi Sir,
I was trying to choose option having form 19 and 10c for full PF withdraw. It was showing an error that date of exit is not there however it was there. DOJ EPF, DOE EPF, DOE EPS AND REASON OF LEAVING… Are filled there but only DOJ EPS is not there. Is this the reason? Or something else is the reason?
Dear Mayur ..Can be.. you may kindly contact your ex-employer and get DoJ updated.
Kindly read : EPF online withdrawals – Processflow.
Hello Sreekanth,
Thank you for the detailed information.
I have transferred my PF from previous employer to current employer through UAN portal. EPF amount was transferred to my new PF account, but EPS transfer is not reflecting in the passbook.
From your article and your replies to other comments, I understand that I need to apply for withdrawal with 10c. I am following all steps as you have mentioned.
In Online services, I have selected CLAIM(Form-31, 19&10c), then it asked me to verify the bank acc. no. After doing that I proceeded to the page where I need to select the form. Here the option for 10c is not visible. Only form 31 is visible.
I have not completed 10 years of service. My DOJ & DOE EPS are both correctly showing in the service history.
Please help me in finding out why the option for Form-10c is not coming.
Thanks,
Himaank
Dear Himaank,
EPS balance will not be reflected in Passbook, however the previous service period gets carried forward.
As your currently employed and contributing to EPF scheme, you can make only partial withdrawals through Form 31.
Cant make full EPF/EPS withdrawals (through Form 19/10c).

How to submit withdrawal claim through Govt’s UMANG mobile app?
Hi Sreekanth,
I wish to withdrawal PF amount. I have completed 7 yrs in previous organization, and just completed 6 months in the current company. My transfer process has been completed, so I can claim through online. When I am applying online claim process, I am getting only (illness, Natural Calamities, Power cut, Purchase handicap equipment options). I want to maximum amount so which options should I choose? Will it consider my previous company duration OR will they consider only current 6-month working time? How much amount can I enter as an advance? Please help me. Thanks in advance.
Dear Ajay,
Kindly check if Date of Exit has been updated by your Ex-employer?
Are you still employed and contributing to EPF? If so, you can not make full balance withdrawal.
Thank for reply. Yes, I changed the company and still working (completed 6 months) in current company. I submitted the form 13 for transfer balance from the previous company to current company and it’s done. The current amount and plus old balance amount would be more than 4 lacks. I am able to claim online. When I am doing online claim process, I am getting an only illness, Natural Calamities, Power cut, Purchase handicap equipment options. So which options should I choose to get the maximum amount? Suppose I entered 2 lacks Rs on claim page, so EPF department, will consider only current company duration (6 months) OR all my previous 9 yrs experience? Please suggest for choosing options and amount. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
AJAY
Hi Ajay, mine also similar case. Did your issue got resolved?
Dear Ajay,
If the transfer of funds have happened successfully then EPFO will consider total 9 years as your service period.
As you are employed, you can not make full PF withdrawal.

Hello Sreekanth,
Thank you so much for all the information.
I am following the online process to claim my PF.
I was able to successfully process my form 19 request however every time i try to process form 10c i am getting an message as DATE OF EXIT EPS NOT AVAILABLE.
I have not completed 10 years of service. I am not involved in any job as of now. My last working day was 22nd sept 2017.
How do i process this?
Is there an alternate way??
Thanks,
Manish
Dear Manish,
Mostly your ex-employer might not yet updated the Date of exit details. Kindly cross-check this info under ‘service history’ tab in UAN interface.
If they have not updated, kindly request them to update the same.

Hi Sreekanth,
I have applied for Full and Final PF settlement via my company and submitted all documents to them i.e. Form 19 and 10C. I have got a partial payment from the company, i.e. company’s contribution and my contribution amount. However, I’d like to know 2 things.
1) How many installments does the PF amount get credited to your account?
2) I’ve got a message stating:
Form 10C(Withdrawal Benefit) ClaimID: PYXXXXX Acct No PYXXXXXXX rejected.
Reason of rejection: Certificate A/B/C/D/E/F not enclosed/signed. Remarks by DA/AO: Clarify the N C P days /OK
Rejection letter is under dispatch.
What has gone wrong and what does this message mean? Whom should I contact? Pls help me
Dear Karthik,
What do you mean by -‘I have got a partial payment from the company’??
EPFO settles the claim and not the employer.
I guess you have received EPF amount (Form 19).
Form 10c is for EPS withdrawal. May I know if you have service of more than 10 years?
Raised a concern with Grievance cell. This is the reply I got. Could you please explain more on what this means?
This is with reference to your Grievance registered vide Registration Number SROWF/E/2017/15926.

Dear Karthik.. Has your employer been contributing to EPF regularly? Looks there there has been some non-contributory period in between..You may kindly check with your ex-employer/employer.

Kindly read : Allotted two UANs??
Kindly also go through this article @ How to link Aadhaar to EPF UAN?
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for your prompt reply…
I have missed something, Initailly I have worked in company 1 and created UAN 1 and PF 1 for the same.
After joined in another company 2 i haven’t transferred my money UAN1 to UAN 2.
Now I am working another company 3 and I want to transfer my money from company 2 PF to company 3(Right now i am working in this company).
But I want to withdraw my money from UAN1.
Is it possible?
Please suggest me for the same.

Hi,
I am currently unemployed and my previous PF accounts are inoperative now. There was no UAN for my previous employments.
I have recently created UAN online using aadhaar and it is active now but how to link my inoperative PF accounts to my UAN.
Please let me know.
Dear Surya,
You need to activate your UAN by linking to your old EPF account.
Kindly go through this article..
Hi Sreekanth Reddy,
Thank you for you reply. I have already followed the same process as mentioned in your article and created my UAN. This UAN is created and also activated but there is no option to link my previous PF account. As i am unemployed, this UAN is created just based on my aadhaar data and its not linked to any PF account. I have logged into my UAN account also but i don’t see any option to link my PF account. What i need is how to link my previous inoperative PF account to my UAN. Please let me know if you have any idea.
Dear Surya,
As I dont have an EPF account, unable to play around with the options..
If possible, you may contact your ex-employer and submit withdrawal form quoting your UAN.
I will check with one of my friends who has similar issue like yours and get back to you..
Dear Surya,
My friend has informed that, only an employer can link the EPF & approve kyc it seems.
So, you may have to contact your ex-employer only.

Dear Sir,
We requested for PF advance through UAN portal online for purchase of Flat on 11th Nov.
On 15th Nov could see status on UAN portal as Claim settled and by EOD got half the requested amount as well.
Now on “Know your claim status” status is coming as settled on 15th Nov. PF passbook is also updated with disbursed amount. My doubts are:
1. Are we going to get half amount again as second set of disbursement. If yes. when to expect this?
2. If not, then as we can only claim once against this option how to go about this?
3. Please help with who can help on this further.

How many days require for resolving online claim maintenance issue shreekanth sir
Hi,
I have recently transferred my old PF to new PF but both have separate UAN accounts. So in new UAN I don’t see service history details of old one and DOJ PF is only current PF DOJ, because of this while trying to part withdrawals claim online it’s disabled the options which are required 5 years of service. My current and old PF combined service history is 6 1/2 years but unable to claim.
What to do if a person has 2 UAN accounts and PF amount is transferred to new PF?
I have tried to consolidate 2 PFs using One Employee – One EPF Account option but there is no update on that from 1 month. If a person has 2 UAN accounts for each then can we use One Employee – One EPF Account option to consolidate.
Dear Shaym..Yes, can use that online facility..Kindly submit your grievance to the EPFO..click here..

Hi Sreekanth,
I am planning to withdraw my full PF amount of 4 Lakhs (not working anywhere since two years) and my service is less than 5 years. I am submitting my PAN and Form 15G. I have no other source of income. What will be the TDS amount cut upon my full PF withdrawal?
Dear Divya,
I believe that if EPF withdrawal is more than Rs 2.5 Lakh, the EPFO will deduct 10% of the amount as TDS.
Kindly note that epf withdrawals done before 5 year service period is a taxable income.
Kindly read : EPF withdrawals & new TDS rules
Thanks Sreekanth.
Based on your reply, I understand that as my amount is 4lakhs and service is less than 5 years. two times tax will be applied.
1) From EPFO side: TDS @10% on 4 Lakhs.
2) As complete PF amount is taxable income as you mentioned above, so while submitting IT returns, I am liable to pay according tax slabs. i.e. upto 2.5 lakhs no tax and rest 1.5 lakhs @5%
Is the above understanding correct?
Thank you in advance
Dear Divya,
If you do not have any other source of income for the FY, then you can claim 5% as refund.
TDS @ 10%
Assuming your applicable tax slab rate is 5%.
That means you have paid more than what is required by way of TDS, which you can claim it as refund.
Kindly read this article : TDS & Misconceptions..
Hi Sreekanth,
I am trying to apply my PF claim online. I am having the following issue.
My PAN, AADHAR and BANK shows KYS Approved. UAN card shows KYC as “YES”.
When I click online ckaim it shows PAN NO : (PAN NOT VERIFIED). I have asked my previous employer and he sent an email with atatched screen that it shows verified to him. While applying online it sows (PAN NOT VERIFIED). in the Claim page under KYC details page.
Thank you in advance.
What to do in this scenario. Please suggest.
Hi Sreekanth,
I am trying to apply my PF claim online. I am having the following issue.
Under Manage menu if we click on KYC page, My PAN, AADHAR and BANK shows KYS Approved.
UAN card shows KYC as “YES”.
When I click online claim it shows PAN NO : (PAN NOT VERIFIED). While applying online it shows (PAN NOT VERIFIED). in the Claim page there are two sections i.e. Member details and KYC details . The PAN number is displayed at KYC details section and it showing (PAN NOT VERIFIED) exactly there.
I have asked my previous employer along with screenshot and he also sent an email with attached screen shot saying that its showing verified to him.
Thank you in advance.
What to do in this scenario. Please suggest.
Dear Andy,
Is it under ‘Approved KYC’ section?
In case, you are facing some technical challenges, you can submit new CCF (directly to EPFO or through your employer).
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for your response.
1) Yes, my Aadhar , PAN, Bank all are showing under Approved KYC section and Aadhar shows “verified” but PAN, Bank shows “—-” beside it.
I will submit “EPF Composite Claim Form (Aadhar)” as you suggested. Can I submit in any EPFO or only the place where I last worked? Please suggest.
2) I have 5+ years of experience from 2009 to 2015. One company from 2009-2010 (1 year 2 months) and 2011-2014 (4 years) with another company. I got UAN in 2012 and employer updated current employment details at that time. Now, in the claims section it is showing as short service as I spent with second only 4 years. Now I am working no where. How do I get added my previous experience. Which employer I should approach to get added the year 2009-2010 experience in UAN portal. Please suggest.
3) If I submit “EPF Composite Claim Form (Aadhar)”, how do I prove EPFO that I have 5+ years of experience. Please suggest.
Dear Andy,
1- You have to post the forms to the EPFO regional office where your EPF a/c is being administered.
2 – You can transfer the funds from old EPF ac to current EPF account.
3 – Once you transfer the funds, the service period gets carried forward.
Thanks Sreekanth.
My funds got already transferred as I can see an entry over the PF pass book.
Unfortunately, at service details section ( in the claims page) , it is showing SHORT service .
However I understood that in the UAN member portal under the menu “View->Service history”, Only last service(2011-2014) is displayed. The 2009-2010 experience is not showing. This might also be reason for the short service in the claims page.
Now again my doubt is, which employer is responsible to add the service history “2009-2010” period so that it will not show as short service in claims page.
I am worrying that if I post the docs to EPFO, I assume that EPFO will go to the UAN member page and finds that the service is less than 5 years and they may apply taxes that are applicable for short service. They may not look each entry in the passbook. Because 4 years entries are there and only one entry for the transfer.
I would like to get my service history added. Please suggest how do I do this?
Dear Andy..Were the funds from EPF a/c (2009-10) transferred to second or current EPF a/c?
You may submit grievance online..click here..
Dear Sreekanth,
My funds from 2009-10 transferred to current PF account. The PF passbook shows transfer entry too. However in the service history it is not showing 2009-10 service in UAN portal.
Who will be able to add this entry in UAN portal under service history? Which employer?
Dear Andy..If the funds were transferred successfully and your DOJ/DOE have been provided by your ex-employer to the EPFO, then kindly don’t worry, the service period would have been carried forward.
Thanks Sreenkanth.
Then, I am planning to apply CCForm using Aadhar as my KYC got approved in UAN. Could you please verify the following docs to submit at EPFO
1) CC Form(Aadhar)
2) UAN Card copy
3) PAN Card copy
4) Aadhar copy
5) Cancelled cheque
6) PF passbook copy
7) DOJ, DOE details
8) revenue stamp
9) form 15G (if applicable)
Please let me know if anything is required other than mentioned above. I assume no employer attestation is needed if I am applying on my own as my KYC already got approved and DOJ and DOE are visible in UAN portal too.
Please
That’s it dear Andy.

” AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office.”
Dear Hemnath,

Have you cross-checked your personal details between UAN interface and your Aadhaar?
I had visited the PF office and linked the aadhar , still it is not reflecting in KYC section and it is showing same message “AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office”
Office is telling , it may take 10-15 days to reflect in online. @hemanth when you linked your aadhar to UAN..?
Dear Deepak ..If that is the case, no other option but to wait..but it may get linked before 10 days itself I guess…
I had went to show this error in PF office , they are saying my UAN is linked with aadhar. there is nothing they can do , it seems.

Hi Sreekant,
Finally I was able to submit my claim online. I submitted the claim on 4th September 2017, and it shows Claim settled as on today on the EPF website, but have not received any update over my email or phone, nor anything in my account yet. I can’t understand what is happening. Please share your inputs on this
Dear Farhan…You will get the amount within 2-3 days.
Hi Shreekanth,Pavan here from Bangalore.Submitted online portal on 18 aug 17(Partial withdrawal form31).My PF claim is showing as settled from 30 aug 17 and NEFT done.In my EPF passbook amount is debited(showing in withdrawals) on 6 sep 2017.But amount is still not credited to my account.Could you suggest anything in mycase.I am following up with PF office peenya,but not able to get UTR reference number to check with my bank.
Dear Pavan..Thats surprising! Once the claim status is updated as ‘settled’, it generally takes 2-4 days to get the amount in bank account.
Kindly check if your bank account details that are linked to UAN are correct?
Did you try submitting your grievance online?
thanks for your reply.It’s surprising.EPFO through facebook,have replied that bank will be clearing pendancy tasks by Monday(11 sep 17) and so i am waiting till tomorrow,hope it will get creditted.Greviance already registered SROPY/E/2017/01685.as per them,following is the message:”NEFT file was forwarded to our link branch on 01.09.2017. On telephonic enquiry, bank has confirmed that the file has been processed on 05.09.2017. Please verify with your bank. For the UTR number, this office is yet to received the processed report”
Dear Sreekanth,My account number was wrong(two zeroes were missing),so PF office,asked me to submit re authorisation form,I have submitted everything through mail(since I got reply through mail).Again pF office peenya have requested to submit hard copy.So I went to PF office-peenya yesterday(20 sep 2017) to submit,but it’s surprising to see that they are not receiving the said documents(they are saying it is not reflecting in their system).I am really not able to understand how this EPFO works.Very pathetic.They are having many errors in their internal processes.Finally we are the sufferers and nobody in PF office takes responsibility.
Dear Pavan,
EPF account number is wrong?? Is it that you have provided a wrong EPF number by mistake? Or Have you been issued wrong EPF a/c number?
Did you check with your employer?
Is this for full or partial withdrawal?
Dear Sreekanth,It’s not EPF account number.My bank account number.Previuosly my bank account number in UAN, was fed wrong(two zeroes missing) in KYC by our company.At that time,I did online transfer(form31) on 18 aug 17.Later on While I was checking daily,I observed there is change in my bank account number in KYC uploaded.I updated,changed my bank account number in KYC on 30 Aug 17.at the same time my employer approved.In this time span,EPFO did the neft to my wrong account number.so,finally now(20 sep 17),i have submitted Re authorisation as asked by them.But as said above,they have told to submit hardcopy,but when I go there they are not receiving the same.
Dear Pavan,
One of my blog readers had informed me about similar issue, he had to meet the EPF officials twice, escalated this issue with Accounts dept.
They have issued an acknowledment to him after receiving the request/authorization letter.
EPF has informed him that they have to reconcile the accounts first and then Credit will be issued, may take around 30 days or so.
Dear Sreekanth,Thanks for your reply.30 days from 20 sep or from my submission date.
Hi,
My previous employer has exempted pf trust and i submitted form 13 to transfer PF. The request is completed but in passbook I can see only the PF got transferred not the EPS. Am I able to transfer/withdraw EPS amount now and if so can you please let me know the process. My service in that company is 3 years and I left the company in 2015.
Dear Gowthami,
IF you have submitted the EPS transfer form also, then no worries!
The EPS amount does not get reflected in PF passbook, however when you transfer EPS amount, the service period gets carried forward. In case, you withdraw EPS in full in future, you get the total accumulated EPS amount (old + new a/cs).
hi
My Online claim has been rejected due to Form 15G/15H. How can i fill that online? i am unable to find it.
Also do we need to send the confirmation receipts of submission of claim to EPFO office?
-Sanjay
Dear Sanjay ..That’s surprising… I am not sure if Form 15G is required for online claims??
Online claimed settled showing but amount not credit in account.
Online claim settlement takes generally 20 days from claim submission to amount credited.

I had applied to withdraw my entire PF but I got only half of my money back ……….
Dear Nishant ..Mostly you might have got either EPF or EPS amount, you may soon get the remaining amount..
how can i update DOE(date of exit)
DEAR SIR, HOW CAN I UOPDATE MY DOE(DATGE OF EXIT)
Please ask to your employer to update the DOE In to pf portal.I did the same.
Hi, How long does it take once the claim is submitted through online ..
Dear Shipan..the turnaround timeline is 10 days (or 2 weeks max).
Hi Sreekanth,
I submitted my online withdrawal application on 30th July 2017, But the status is still showing as “online claim submitted at portal”. It’s been a month the status has not been updated. Please suggest.
Hi Mahendar,
Sometime pf department does not update the status on UAN portal on time.So please check your updated status on https://passbook.epfindia.gov.in/MemClaimStatusUAN/ or http://epfoservices.in/homepage_claim_status_new.php.
Thank you dear Gaurav for providing your inputs..
Hi Gaurav,
I checked on both the links provided by you, but it says no record found.
Hi Mahendar.
Sorry my mistake.
Use these links.
http://www.epfindia.gov.in/site_en/KYCS.php
https://passbook.epfindia.gov.in/MemClaimStatusUAN/
Gaurav,
I checked these links as well, but still the same. No record found.
Hi Mahendar,
These links are working for me and my friends too.Something might be going wrong at your end.Please use chrome and clear the cache.Also check if url is proper at your end.
Additionally, you can search “pf claim status” in google and you will find both links there and use it.
Dear Mahendar ..Thats pretty long-time..the EPFO generally settles online claims within 2 weeks. Suggest you to submit your grievance online..click here..
Sreekanth,
I already raised a grievance. But the closed it stating “Sir, it is informed to you that in EPFO records no claim is showing with this PF number”. I am not sure what’s the hold up.
Hi Sreekanth,
If I have to withdraw the PF and Pension, using a form, which form should I fill. My KYC is updated on EPFO
Dear Farhan..You can submit new Composite Claim Form..
Hi, What is the duration for processing
I am getting a error from last week “Claim Is Not Submitted on portal,Please try again later” while filing a pf advance claim online.
I saw one solution from :Prasanna” that address info on the 2 address fields ‘equally’ (earlier, first text box had much of the details while second box only had my village name) and that had nailed it for me.its works for many users too.
Can any one explain me above solution with example?
I tried above solution in many ways but my bad luck i went wrong somewhere may be.
I had cleaned cache and cookies already.
Hi,
I also tried to submit the claim form and got the same error “PF Withdrawal Claim Is Not Submitted on portal,Please try again later”.
Even splitting the address it doesn’t work. Also i tried in different browsers.
Dear Anand & Gaurav..You may kindly submit your grievance online to the EPFO…click here…
I contacted [email protected] and below is the reply
there is some technical error in otcp/withdraw claim portal. Therefore member is advised to submit the form manually
I am able to submit online today.
Thanks Bro. I submitted today and its working now
I have been trying the same to withdraw PF, however ending up with the same error message… cannot submit on portal, please try again later. saw the post from AUG 5th, unfortunately that does not work.
Even i faced that problem but its working fine now you can submit online claim form without any error. 15 mins ago i have submitted my form.
Posting it as a fresh comment since the same query is raised by multiple users on diff comment chains. If you are facing the error – ‘Claim form is not submitted in Portal. Pls try again later’, I’ve already shared the workaround on this blog (pls refer to my comment dated August 5, 2017 at 2:56 pm). I see (on this blog and the another one) that, it has worked for many others too.
So, it is a good idea to glance through the comment section once, before posting the same query.
The claim form is not submitted on the portal. my kyc is already updated and date of joining and date of birth evry thing is updated but i am unable to submit kindly help
Dear Suraj..Did you authenticate/verify your Aadhaar number?
pf online partial withdrawal claim status showing – Claim settled but not credited in my account,
kindly help me out.
In my case, it had taken 2 to 3 days for the amount to be credited after the status on UAN portal changed to – ‘Claim Settled’.
Thank you for replay…
not yet received amount
Kindly tell me whom should i contact.
finally Amount received with 10 days.

HI Sreekant,
I am trying to withdraw my PF online, but when I go to the online claim page, i only get 2 options to select:
Apply for
1) Only PF withdrawal (Form 19) and
2 ) Only Pension Withdrawal (Form 10C).
I want withdraw the entire amount. I am not sure what should I select. Please help me on that
Dear Farhan,
You have to select both the options to withdraw EPF and EPS.
it allows me select only one option at a time, do you have to select the first option for PF complete it and then do it again for the second option. How many days does it take for the amount to get deposited in account?
Hi Sreekant,
I tried submitting the claim online, but its giving an error “Claim is not submitted on Portal. Please try again later”. I tried multiple times, but still getting the same error.
Hi,
Sreekant,

Hi Sreekanth,
I changed my job a couple of years back and got a new PF member id, however the UAN number remained the same. Also got the amount transferred to the new PF member id last year.
However now when I am trying to partially withdraw using the way mentioned by you in your post getting the following error – Multiple member-id’s found linked to your UAN. Kindly transfer all to current member-id before proceeding.
Tried to do it through the following link https://goo.gl/7dy4g3 for one employee -one epf account on the epfo website but it also gave an error stating invalid credentials.
I am unable to find a resolve for this. Please help.
Dear NS,
Are you sure the EPF amount from old EPF a/c has been transferred?
Or Do you have any other old EPF accounts (where the funds have not yet been transferred)??
You may also submit your grievance online to EPFO..click here..
Hi Sreekanth,
Yes the employee and Employer share has been transferred and is showing in the member passbook. Not sure if the Pension contribution has been transferred as well. Please advise the process on that as well.
Grievance was submitted online as per your suggestion to someone on a different comment however got the following reply- For UAN issues it is requested to send mail to [email protected]. In order to avoid delay in settlement , you may submit physical claim form 31 through your employer along with covering letter mentioning the reasons for not submitting online.
Dear NS,
Looks like the EPS has not yet been transferred.
You may submit offline or online request for the transfer and then can try withdrawing partial EPF amount.
Dear sir- Claim Is Not Submitted on portal,Please try again later

Dear sauman ..You may submit your grievance online..click here..
dear sir

Dear Sir,
I have updated my all details in UAN and employer has also verified all the documents, but when I am trying to withdrawn or try to use online claim than showing
1. AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office.
2. In approved KYC , their is a link of blue color beside the Adhar card, when I have clicked their, they have shown me a message, date of Birth is missing & gender is not available.
Please help me sir, what is the main problem, if I rectify my adhar card than problem will solve, or what will i do.
I have also visited to the nearest EPFO offfice but they are unable to say anything.
Dear Kundan,
1 & 2 – There can be a mismatch between UAN Vs Aadhaar details. Are you able to see ‘Verify’ button in KYC section next to Aadhaar? If yes, you can verify and authenticate the link, else you may have to visit nearest EPFO office and get it linked. Have you updated DoB in UAN? (or) Are these details not updated in Aadhaar? Kindly check..
Sir,
When i have clicked on the verify button, their is a message , Date of birth & gender is missing.Sir, is this problem in Adhar card?, I have applied for adhar correction also, in my UAN card , they are showing Date of birth & gender is missing .I have called to my previous employer and ask them to update all details, but they are not co-operating with me.
What should i do sir?, please help me, if my employer is not co-0oerating than .its almost 1.6 years and I am not able to get my money, I have complain to grievance also but their is no result.
Dear Kundan ..Kindly note that changing the personal details (like DoB) in the EPF account should be done jointly by you and your employer. You have to submit necessary document proofs to your employer and they will submit the request to EPFO.
Sir,
They are not co-operating with me and I am not in town, is their any other way??
I received PF final settlement amount today. Online withdrawal request was submitted on 26th July. So it hardly took 10 calendar days. Issues I faced with the tool (nothing after submission though) are already shared on this blog and elsewhere as appropriate.
My special thanks and gratitude to Mr. Sreekanth for putting up this page/blog which I’ve found very useful when I was groping in the dark.
Hello Sreekanth Sir,
I have joined new company before 6 months and i have submitted my old UAN no in new company. Now i applied for PF online transfer. This message is showing when entering details in case of Member ID
Present & Previous member ID’s must be different. when i enter UAN No this message is showing-No previous employment details found against this UAN
Can you help me.
Dear Shaily ..Was the previous member-id linked to your UAN?
You may take help of your current employer and get the transfer done.
Kindly read : How to do EPF transfer online?
Hello,
I was receiving the same error. I reached out to my previous employer and asked them to update EPFO site to reflect my Date of Exit. Once done, within seconds, I was able to submit the transfer request.
Thank you dear Prasanna.
Thanks for sharing the update and responding to other blog readers’ queries as well.
Keep visiting ReLakhs!
Hi Sreekanth,
I applied for PF withdrawal but i am getting only Form-31 is there, which is used for partial payment. Kindly guide me how can i apply for my Final settlement or find Form-19 in Online Portal. I already left that Organisation 1 year ago.
Hi Manish,
I had been through the same. As per their FAQ sheet (attached elsewhere on the parent portal), ‘Date of Exit’ is a mandatory field without which final settlement option will not be made available. In hindsight, it makes all the sense.
I asked my ex-employer to update this date (to my Last w0rking day in that org) after which I could see Form-19 option.
Hi Sudarshan,
My online portal is up to date with all the necessary data correctly filled in and KYC details submitted and approved by EPFO a month ago.
Now having left my job for 6 months, I’m trying to make an online application for withdrawal of my PF since last 3-4 days, but an error pops up that “CLAIM NOT SUBMITTED. PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER”
Can you help me with this?
Oops, my bad. I mean Sreekanth Reddy and not Sudarshan. 🙂
Dear Gaurav ..May be a technical issue..you can submit grievance online..click here..
Hi Gaurav,
I had faced the same issue too. After trying out many things, on an impulse, I redistributed my address info on the 2 address fields ‘equally’ (earlier, first text box had much of the details while second box only had my village name) and that had nailed it for me.
Thank you Prasanna for sharing this information..let’s hope this works for Gaurav too!
This worked, and helped me to resolve issue
Dear Prasanna,
I am also trying to enter the equally distributed address in both the address fields, but still I am getting an error of “Xml validation error- Invalid OtpRequest Data”.
Kindly Help.
Regards Rashesh Jain.

Dear Rukmani,
You can submit name correction (in UAN) request to your employer. They in turn will forward the request to EPFO.
You need to enclose required documentary proofs (ID proof copy).
If gender details in UAN are wrong, you may also request for correction.
Thanks a lot Sreekanth

Hi
I tried applying for partial withdrawal of PF online and the form is filled and aadhar otp is also put, but the claim does not get accepted. All bank, aadhar are linked.
Is online pf partial withdrawal facility working now? How many days will it take to get PF amount to account?
Dear Tamizh ..I have observed that some of blog readers go partial withdrawal online within a week.
I ve applied for my epf amount withdwal through the online claim process on 23 july 2017. Present claim status is ‘under process’
I just want to know how long it takes to complete and credit the amount to my given bank account?
Dear Nazme..It should be max 10 days of time..
Nazme 1o days over.
have you got your PF money.
please update us.
Hi Sudarshan – I got it in about 10 days – 26th July -> 7th August.
Congratulations…
Actually I visited PF office for Aadhar verification it’s more than 2 weeks.still Aadhar not verified.how long it took for you.
In my case, Aadhar was already seeded by my ex-employer. But still, I could not launch ‘Online Services’ page. I was shown the error – “AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office”.
Since many others were also facing the same issue, I dropped a note to EPFO helpdesk ([email protected]) seeking clarification. After 6 weeks or so, page started loading. May be correction was done in the back-end. Btw, my wife still had the same problem. Since she was still in service, we didn’t press it further. Just a week back or so, when I was checking it again for her, I saw a new button – ‘Verify’ listed against her Aadhar record in KYC tab. I just clicked it and ‘Online Services’ became enabled.
If your Aadhar is already shown under ‘KYC’ and approved, look for that ‘Verify’ button.

Dear rahul ..You submit your grievance online..click here..
My Aadhaar, bank details and PAN under the ‘approved KYC’ list and it is approved, but when i go to “claim link” is shows below error” AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office.”
I aleardy visted nearest EPFO office on last moth 16 june 2017 and done my seeding and i got email approval in my mail.
below is mail “Your Aadhaar number XXXX XXXX XXXX was used successfully to carry out e-KYC Authentication using “OTP ” on 16/06/2017 at 15:27:26 Hrs at a device deployed by “Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO)” ”
Please provide solution to remove above error.
Thanks,
Sunil Rana
Dear Sunil,
This is surprising! I do not know what could be the reason …… you may submit grievance online..click here…
grievance online submit have lot issue with capcha image, no able to log complain.
Both UAN and AADHAR data shoud have the same mobile number registered
Yes.same mobile no.
I was facing the same problem. It gets resolved when verify the adhar through the link which is available right side of approved KYC.
Thanks.
It’s giving error “Information mismatch”. How to resolved that issue?
Dear Sunil..Mostly your personal details (like Name/DoB etc) which are in UAN interface may not be matching with details linked to Aadhaar.
You may have to get them corrected in UAN interface (if you believe that Aadhaar details are correct). I think you may also visit nearest EPF office and can authenticate the details (can get both UAN & Aadhaar linked).
go to uidai link and get authenticated in few seconds
Hi ,
Its nice article. Thanks for posting this.
I served with my company more than 10 years and resigned my job March 2016. I no longer working in India. I didn’t withdraw my EPF. I received my EPF statments from my previous employer for the year 2016-2017. In that TDS 10% is being deducted for the interest amount . Could you explain why TDS if I am not withdrawing my amount?
Total amount in EPF : 10 lakhs
Interest credited approx for this year : 86,000 RS
10 * TDS decuted : 8600 RS
Can I claim this 8600 RS in my IT returns and get refund?
Thanks in advance for your response.
Dear prasanna ji ..Interest income on EPF is a tax-free income.
Something is wrong here! You may contact your previous employer on this.
If they have deducted any TDS, you may ask them the reason and you may also check your Form 26AS on IT website to know if the deducted TDS has been deposited to the Govt or not.
Hi Sir,
I checked with my employer and received the below response. I am still not clear.. Will you please explain?
”
The interest on your PF balance as on 31st March 2017 will attract tax as per below income tax rule. ”
“Under Section 10 (12) of the Income Tax Act, the ‘accumulated balance’ due and becoming payable to an employee participating in a recognized provident fund during the tenure of his service, do not form part of total income.
The expression ‘accumulated balance’ is defined under Section 2 (f) of the Fourth Schedule – Part A, to mean the balance to the credit of an employee on the date he ceases to be an employee of the employer maintaining the fund. Thus the accumulated balance, is the sum of the amount of provident fund credited to the account of the employee during the tenure of the employment of a member.
The interest credited to the accumulated balance of an employee who has resigned or retired from his services, does not fall within the exceptions provided in Section 10 (12) or Section 8 of Part A of the Fourth Schedule, and is therefore to be treated as income liable to be taxed. The Company / Trust is therefore under the obligation to deduct tax at source from such interest under Section 194A of the Income Tax Act. ”
Thanks in advance for your time.
Hi Sir,
I would like to add one more point, I was under loss of Pay for an year between 2013 and 2014. Will it be considered as break in the service and treated as less than 5 years service? Is it the reason for tax on interest?
Best Regards
Prasanna
Dear prasanna,
I am sure that interest on EPF is a tax-free income, and any withdrawal from EPF after continuous service of more than 5 years is not subject to taxes.
You may kindly check with your employer if they have considered your service as less than 5 year period (after a break)??
I have submitted my KYC details but It is still showing as Pending. Can anyone tell me why they are still showing as Pending?
Dear Karm..Your employer has to verify and approve those details. Kindly contact your employer.
Thanks sir. I reached out to the employer and they will do it.
Dear Sir,
Kindly suggest me what should i do?
When i click on Online Services0–>>claim Form 31, 19 & 10C. It shows Two options.
1 – only pf withdrawl (Form 19)
2- only pension withdrwal (Form 10C).
Now the problem is, I want to withdraw my full PF (EPF+EPS). should i fill both forms one by one or there is any other option for full withdrawl?
Dear Rathindra..You may submit two forms for withdrawal of EPF & EPS.
Read : EPF online withdrawal – Process Flow.
I am having the same issue.
i am also getting the above two options.
however i want to withdraw me full PF.
what do i do.
I read the ‘EPF online withdrawal – Process Flow’ but there it is mention as to select option EPF full withdrawal (and / or) EPS withdrawal claim (or) EPF advance.
However these options are not available.
Options available are ‘Only PF Withdraw’ and other is ‘Only Pension Withdraw’.
So what do i need to do should i select both these options one by one?
Please advise.
Dear Disha,
You may submit both the claims online (EPF & EPS), should not be an issue.
Else, you may also kindly check with the EPFO..click here..
Hi,
My UAN is activated, Aadhar seeded. But still I see just Form 31 for partial withdrawal of PF and not Form 19 that allows for full withdrawal of PF. Has anyone able to withdraw their PF online?
Thanks
Dear Ravi ..Kindly check if your personal details in Aadhaar card match with the details in UAN interface..
Hi,
Do you have DOE (Date of Exit) updated on EPFO ? As per FAQ sheet, it is a mandatory requirement for full withdrawal and rightly so.
I also see only partial withdrawal option. But in my case, DOE was not set. I’m working with my ex-employer to get it updated. Even with DOE, full withdrawal option is not shown, then it could be another glitch in the system.
Dear Prasanna ..It can be something to do with your Aadhaar seeding also.
Kindly read this article…EPF online withdrawal process flow..
Dear Sir,
my aadhar card already show in UAN sysytem & verify the my aadhar number then below massage show on this system.
Error while verifying AADHAAR. Please try again later.
every time this massgae show in UAn portal .
what can i do sir?
V Soni
Dear vinod ..The aadhar details might have been verified by your employer, but the details present in UAN interface and Aadhaar may not be matching (name/DoB/Gender etc). You may to visit any nearest EPFO office and get them linked, or get your details in UAN corrected.
Hi,
I will complete my service of 4.6 years in August, and planning to join new company in August. Now my question is
1) can I get 90% Employee+Employer share
2) Which month I can expect amount of PF
3) Even if joining new employer then there will not be any problem for withdrawing of PF.
4) PAN, Aadhar and Bank Account already updated in EFO portal as KYC
Dear Shruthi,
If you are joining a new company immediately and going to contribute to EPF scheme again then you cant withdraw EPF balance, you have to TRANSFER the funds from old EPF account to new EPF account.
Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawal options.
Thanks Shreekanth.
But in case if I need money, please suggest any other option. I need money within 3-5 months.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Dear Sanjay ..I am not on this. You may also try checking with your current/previous employers.
Hello Sreekant,
Need your help!
Few queries…
1. How to transfer PF amount from previous employer PF account to present employer PF account. Is there online/offline way.
2. How much time it take the transfer to take place.
3. Once transfer, i would like to initiate partial withdrawal process stating urgent reason ( medical) with all supporting documents.
What i tried…
I’ve registered to member online portal ( URL – https://goo.gl/VTvU39 ) few days back, but that time when i was trying to do an online transfer from my previous employer PF account to my present employer PF account. But I was getting an error that My ADHAAR is not seeded, though on the portal, under Approved KYC field I can see my ADHAAR details. Can you please let me know how to sort this out. Not sure why
yesterday itself, i again tried to open that url but it is no more working. Is that URL changed?
Nothing is working now. I tried reaching out customer care (1800 11 8005), but call does not get answered.
A very pathetic system.
Could you please help me out and suggest way forward.
Thanks a lot in advance
Dear kailash,
1 – Yes, you can do it through your UAN interface.
2 – Generally 2 to 3 weeks.
3 – Probably, your personal details like Name, DoB etc between Aadhaar and UAN card may not be matching. You can visit nearest EPFO office and can link your Aadhaar with your UAN. Else, you may have to get the details corrected in UAN.
Dear sirs,
My KYC is not updated in UAN While i have uploaded in KYC details field 7 month ago but now the document is not approved yet, yesterday epfo officer Was available in my office then i tell the them so they said that your document would be recieve to epfo office by your employer after received few months epfo approved your document and you will see in UAN Member PORTAL. before it’s I have send a mail to epfo but i did not get any positive response they said , contact to your employer so in this case what can i do for withdraw epfo amount without it’s would not be done it’s showing error.
Dear Ashish ..You may have to check with your employer first as to why they have not yet approved your KYC documents.
If you have to withdraw EPF, you may still submit new composite claim form to your ex-employer and get it processed.
hi
i have joined a company in the month of march 2014 and now i want to withdraw my PF and i do not have adhar card
how can i withdraw.
Dear anand ..Kindly read : New EPF composite claim forms..
hi there,
i left my organisation in may 2016, and not employed till now,i called them up for guidence on online wd facility of PF, they informed me that since the PF is managed by a trust and handled by vendor, i will have to submit hard copy withdrawals form itself. is that correct.
secondly i am not able to link my adhar card number due to gender error, guess i did not capture gender info in profile, its not allowing to modify .
thank u
Dear icarus,
You may submit the New -Composite (Aadhaar form) to EPFO directly, if Aadhaar details have been approved by your employer.
Hi Srikanth,
I have moved to abroad 2 years back and haven’t claimed my PF from EPFO from my previous employer.
When i tried to claim, i see the following error:
“AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office.”.
It is not possible for me to visit nearest EPFO office as I don’t have any plan of visiting India for another 1 year, so is it possible to claim my PF amount without visiting EPFO office.
But my PAN, AADHAR & Bank account is under Approved KYC.
Could you please provide your suggestion.
Thanks in Advance.
Dear Sudhir,
Mostly the personal data between Aadhaar Vs UAN interface may not be matching.
You may route the application through your ex-employer.

Hello Sreekanth, thank for your the insightful article.
I have query on PF withdrawl and this for my wife. She used to work in pvt sector for 4.5 yrs till Jan 2016. We then moved out of India. Sadly were not able to apply for Aadhar. She has her UAN sorted on the portal. But not having Aadhar I am wondering how can we now withdraw the pf money?
Is there any other way out here?
Thanks in advance for the help. Rahul
Dear Rahul,
Yes, she can submit New Composite withdrawal form (Non-Aadhaar) to EPFO through her ex-employer.
Hi Sreekanth,
Now working in abroad. I’m no longer employee to my current company. Will i get complete PF amount? and my previous employer is asking me to submit form 15G .I’m not able to understand Form 15G and the details to give in that form.
Thanking You,
Pavan
Dear Pavan ..Yes, you can withdraw complete EPF balance (subject to taxes, if any)
Read : How to fill Form 15G?
Yes, form 15 G is important, else 35% TDS deduction will happen.
Dear Sir,
I had worked and contributed in PF for 3yrs & 10 months in pvt co., now i want to withraw PF for purchasing a residential property but my company is saying that I being ex-employee there can not withraw PF tax free for this purpose and I have to pay income tax/TDS on withdrawal amount.

Dear Nayan ..Are you employed now and contributing to EPF again?
Read : EPF withdrawals & TDS rules.
Sir
I am working in other company which is contractual job hence not contributing in EPF now. Can I withdraw accumulated PF in my previous company where in IT would not applicable for property purchse. If not, alternatively can I transfer this PF amount to NPS a/c tax free.
Rgds
Nayan
Dear Nayan,
As your contribution period is less than 5 year, EPF withdrawal (full) is taxable. Kindly go through the above suggested article.
Kindly read my article on EPF to NPS – should you transfer?
Sir
Many paid consultant also does not reply so promptly, appreciate. In above case can I withraw 90% amt tax free.
Rgds
Dear Nayan ..As you are not contributing to EPF scheme now, you can withdraw 100% PF balance (subject to taxes).
Hi Sir,
I have a small doubt regarding withdrawal of Employer contibution to EPS.
I have read somewhere that the withdrawl is based on formula.
Amount Eligible = Number of Years of Service x Average salary for all the years
That is coming as quite a good number for me with 5 years of service and Average salary as 38000.00
where as actual amount in that is only rs. 55,000.00
My doubt is am i eligible according to the formula or only how much is available ?
Please confirm sir
Dear Hemalatha ..You may go through this article..
Thank You Sreekanth
I had all the documents updated and approved on the EPFO portal. Upon trying to claim, I got the error “AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office”.
I eventually took time out for today and went out to my nearest EPFO and got my UIDAI authenticated by the personnel there. Received an email confirmation on the same, stating my UIDAI authentication with EPFO account was successful.
I tried to claim the EPF online, and the same error still pops up. Any advise on that?
Dear Aloknath,

Hi,
I have changed the company 2 months back and PF is not transferred to new company PF account yet.
My PF account is 5.5 years old, Now i want to withdraw my previous company PF amount for to purchase a plot.
Is it possible to withdraw my PF amount without transferring to new PF account .
Dear Tejaswini ..Suggest you to transfer your old EPF a/c monies to your new EPF a/c and then apply for partial withdrawal..
Ok. Thank you
Can i get both employee+employer share ?
Dear Tejaswini ..Yes, I believe you can withdraw up to 90% of EPF balance (employee + employer share) .
Thank you
Hi,
I’m not able to update KYC getting the error as below
Pan verfication failed. (Name against UAN does not match with the NAME in Income Tax Department)
Temporary problem at AADHAR server. Please try after some time.
I’m trying to update KYC from more than 6 months but not able to.
Please let me know how can i update KYC.
Dear Tejaswini,
Mostly the name across all the three may be different (UAN Vs PAN/Aadhaar).
You may have to get them updated with the same name.
Kindly contact your employer if you would like to correct the name in UAN portal.
Thank you.
My UAN name is slightly different than PAN/aadhar.
If the name is slightly different than PAN/Aadhar is it not possible to withdraw?
Dear Tejaswini,
You can submit New Composite EPF claim form to EPFO through your employer.
Thanks for your reply.
I changed the company 3 months back.
The new company PF office is in Mumbai since it’s a pune based company even though work location is Bangalore. and previous company Pf account is in Bangalore.
PF is not transfer yet to new employer yet.
It might take more time to transfer and withdraw from current employer.
Can i submit the form from previous employer?
Dear Tejaswini ..Yes, you may do so.
But, EPFO may suggest you to transfer as you have two EPF accounts linked to one UAN.

With Respect Sreekant sir, I Shyam Kumar Bhattarai would like to withdraw some amount of my PF for use in college Admission of my younger brother in July ,
So kindly suggest me the necessary steps what I should do.
thanks regards
Shyam Kumar Bhattarai
Dear Shyam ..I believe that one can not take advance for brother’s higher education purposes…
Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawal rules..
Hi Sreekanth, thank you for detailing out the withdrawal steps. I need some help with the following detail.
1. If I choose to withdraw PF as I decided to quit my job (and it already been 2 months and above). What should I be choosing for the following options online.
*जिस उद्देश्य के लिए अग्रिम की आवश्यकता है/*Purpose for which advance is required – Should I choose No wages > 2 months does it mean that is equivalent to FULL withdraw ?
2. आवश्यक अग्रिम की राशि (रु में)/Amount of Advance required (in Rs.)* – If choosing the option No wages > 2 is complete withdrawal then why should I provide the amount in advance, this shows up as a mandatory item. I do not find an option online which clearly mentions PF complete withdrawal and calculates the yearly interest for me to provide the final amount value automatically.
Can you please help me on this ?
Dear Chitra,
1 – Are you planning to withdraw your EPF in full or taking advance / loan??
2 – Form 19 & Form 10 C are full withdrawal of EPF & EPS. Form 31 is for partial withdrawal.
Sreekanth, I am planning to withdraw my EPF in full.
Dear Sreekanth,
Thanks for you blog.
Well I am trying to upload the Aadhar to link to KYC to withdraw PF Online.
When I try to upload Aadhar number, I get below error. Please help.
“”Name, Gender doesn’t match the registered portal or Temporary problem at Aadhar Server, try after some time.””
Regards,
Prabhu Kishore Reddy.
Dear Prabhu ..It can be a temporary issue. However, kindly cross-check the details in Aadhaar Vs EPF a/c, whether they match..??
Afterall its a a government site, when u go to claim Form 31, 19 & 10C it says “Please update your AADHAAR”.
And when you go to update aadhar in KYC, you see that Aadhar is already listed.
Again when you try to add ur Aadhar just to check, it says “Member Invalid Gender details for AADHAAR authentication”.
Dear Nishant,
Yes, this is certainly pain-staking..
I believe that EPFO should provide a provision to link Aadhar number and UAN based on OTP feature even though the name in both differ, provided other details like DoB, mobile number etc match.
This has been done by the Income Tax department (to link PAN with Aadhar).
Dear Sreekanth,
Same problem i am facing. When i click on ” claim Form 31, 19 & 10C” it says “Please update your AADHAAR”.
How to possible then Aadhaar Based Online Claim Submission ?
Rrgards.
Rakesh
Dear Rakesh ..You need to link your Aadhaar number to your UAN account and get it verified by employer/EPFO.
Dear Sreekanth,
Aadhar card, PAN Card, Voter ID and Bank details are verified and approved by the Employer. Still am facing the problem when i click on Online Services0–>>claim Form 31, 19 & 10C. Error will come as ““Please update your AADHAAR”.
Regards,
Rakesh
Dear Rakesh ..Mostly the details in UAN Vs Aadhaar may not be matching.. You may kindly visit nearest EPFO office and get it verified/linked.
Dear Sreekanth,
Thanks for the valuable response. I have rechecked with Employer and get corrected the problem. Now i am facing another problem. I have applied for PF Online Claim Form 19. But I am unable to apply for Pension Witrhdrawal Scheme Form 10C , showing error as “DATE OF EXIT NOT AVAILABLE”. I checked with Employer again, they told they have updated EXIT Date. Still am not able to apply for Pension Scheme. In UAN portal DOE EPF is showing Exit Date, but DOE EPS is showing “NOT AVAILABLE”.How can i update this option ? where as employer says, he has done with all the option. Looking forward your help..
Regards
Rakesh
Dear Rakesh,

Hi Sreekanth, I tried the link to withdraw my PF online but I am getting the same error. My name which is registered to the previous company is Tresa George Joseph and on my aadhar card its registered as Tresa Nilesh Magar which is the name after my marraige. But my addhar card is linked with the UAN as well, so did I get the error which states that I have to authenticate it to the epfo office.Please advise me what to do now?
