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.)

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.
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.
Kindly read :
New Composite Claim Forms..
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,

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,
That’s surprising! Only EPFO can answer to this query !
Suggest you to drop your grievance online..click here..
Dear Aloknath,
Can you please let me know the process in the PF office to get my Aadhar authenticated.
Thanks and regards,

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.
HI Sreekanth, I have purchased 14 years old flat 2.5 years back. I want to know do i am eligible for Partial PF withdraw for addition/alteration of Flat. I am working with MNC.

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,
You may contact EPFO ..click here..
May I know your total years of contribution to EPF?
Dear Sreekanth,
2 YEARS, 9 MONTHS
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?
Dear Tresa ..It is the case of name mismatch between details available with EPFO (UAN) and Aadhar card.
You may get your name corrected in UAN as per your Aadhar card.
You may submit your grievance online..click here..
Thanks for the details for PF online withdraw. When I click on “Online Services tab”, below error message appears.
” AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office.”
All my KYC documents are approved and shown in the UAN Portal. Can you please help me how to process further.
Dear Amar ..My guess is that your personal details (name, DoB, father’s name etc) in your Aadhar card may not be matching with your data linked to EPF account. Kindly cross-check..
Hi Sreekanth,
Thank you for the detail information on PF online withdrawl.
When I click on “Online Services tab”, below error message appears.
” AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office.”
Could you please throw any light on this issue?
My KYC (PAN, AADHAAR, Bank account no with IFSC) are already seeded into UAN interface by my employer.
Dear Harish ..My guess is that your personal details (name, DoB, father’s name etc) in your Aadhar card may not be matching with your data linked to EPF account. Kindly cross-check..
Hi Sreekanth,
I was also getting the same error
AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office.
I went to the PF office , they have checked in the system , My name is correct over there but the only thing in One system it is in Small caps and in other its in CAPS so they said tht it need to be corrected from Delhi only.
now what to do? government seriously need to do something in technology, they are lagging way behind
Kiran
Dear Kiran ..Yes, EPFO can implement something like the online facility provided by the IT dept regarding linking of Aadhaar with PAN..
I have already verified with the local EPFO office. There is a technical glitch in the new online withdrawal feature. Everyone is getting the same error only even if your AADHAR and other KYC details are properly seeded with your EPFO account.
Online withdrawal facility is NOT YET Ready. As per the EPFO office, it may take 2-3 more weeks for the technical issue to be sorted out and for the official release of this feature. Don’t waste your time on online withdrawal.
Go for manual withdrawal using the newly introduced Composite Claim Form (introduced on 20-Feb-2017 and replaces Form-19, Form-10C and Form-31). Again, there are varieties here – AADHAR (Employer seal not reqd.) and NON-AADHAR (Employer seal reqd).
Thank you dear Leo for sharing this update / info.
Could you please share the withdraw Link.
Dear satish ..I have now updated the post with the required details.
Hi Sreekanth, Please can you help me with the online link to withdraw my PF balance(as per the update which was posted on 01 may 2017 which states that PF balance can be withdrawn within 3 hours,without any paperwork).
Dear Tresa .. As per EPFO, the online withdrawal facility will be provided in UAN portal interface. Kindly login to your UAN account and check if they have activated this facility.
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for the very detailed and latest article.
Please help me with my situation.
I worked for 11 years (2005-2016) in a company in India and moved abroad on Permanent Resident visa. Its been 6+ months I’m out of India and not have any income sources in India.
I have an activated UAN number. Using the Unified online portal, will I be able to withdraw all my PF balance (employer + employee) ?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, dear Shiva..you can withdraw EPF amount, but EPS is withdrawable if contribution period is less than 10 years. You can get Pension after 58 years.
