Online EPF Withdrawal Facility : Details & Procedure

Last updated: June 27, 2018 | by

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 portal UAN Aadhar Bank account EPF online Claim EPS PF advance loan pic

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.UAN portal login for online EPF withdrawal url link Provident fund claim pic
  • 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.EPF balance withdrawal online PF advance loan EPS online withdrawal procedure link url pic
  • 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).

Members will continue to have the choice of withdrawing the entire / balance amount, if they want to close the account, after two months , provided the member is unemployed and/or do not make any fresh PF contributions.
Currently, the EPF Scheme allows Final withdrawal (full withdrawal) only after two months from the date of cessation of employment of the members.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • Hello Sir,

    While 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 let me know why I am getting this error and how can I resolve it.

    Thank you

    • 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:

      Open the PDF file in PDF Converter Professional.
      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

    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..

  • 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.

    • Ask them to update your date of exit . If your date of exit is not updated you cannot withdraw all the pf contribution

    • Dear BAILOCHAN,
      Mostly your employer might not have updated Date of Exit / Date of Join.
      Kindly contact them and get these updated. You can check these details under Service history tab in UAN ac.

      • Dear Sir,

  • 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

  • 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 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

      • 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.

    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??

  • 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.
        It is informed that your grievance is being treated as non-actionable due to the following reason(s):

        • 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.

  • 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.

      • 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 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.

  • 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 Sreekanth,

    I have applied for a home loan towards purchase of a flat . All disbursements from the bank has been done. The construction is complete and I have received the possession letter by mid nov.. But I still have one last installment of
    2Lakhs to be done from my hand. I am completing 5.5 yrs of service in a month and my current PF balance is 1.5L. So my questions are:
    1. Can I withdraw from PF account?
    2. How much can I withdraw?

    Thanks for your reply in advance.

  • 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?

      • 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.

        • 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 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

    And form 19 is showing claim settled as of now while form 10c status is under process. So is there issue with applying both the form for both separately ?

    Thanks in advance.

        I want to know that after withdrawal what happens with the UAN no. And PF account number? Does it get closed? . If I want to join another job after sometime. Can I give same UAN and PF account number to the new employer?

        Regards

        • Dear Abhishek .. Your UAN remains active and you can share the same number with your next employer.
          However the EPF ac gets closed, your new organization will allot new EPF account number (member-ID) which will be linked to existing UAN number.

  • 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

      • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 Sreekanth,

    If I have to withdraw the PF and Pension, using a form, which form should I fill. My KYC is updated on EPFO

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 sir
    My KYC details are already approved by employer.But till date i can’t filled up my online claim form.they give this error
    “Your service details are in the process of being migrated to Central Portal. Please try again in a weeks time.” i wait 2-3 months already.

    what i do now?
    please help me…
    thanking you.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    • 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.

  • Dear Mr.Sreekanth

    I was trying to fill kyc details. I got following message:-

    In UAN it is mentioned “Rukmani Nair” and income tax dept.” Rukmani Gangadharan Nair”

    Further, it is mentioned “Invalid gender details for Aadhar authentification”

    Please advise how name can be corrected in UAN and also where gender details to be mentioned. Please advise if these corrections can be done by myself .If so please advise the steps

    Also please advise if providing KYC is mandatory.

    Thanks in advance .

      • 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.

  • hiii

    why all kyc peding slow……..how much time for approval ….i have summit all details before 10 day

  • I wanted to withdraw PF online, I have prepared all documents based on the instructions & was ready to send the document through post to delhi. Now as seen in news the withdrawal in possible through online procedure, so I have login the UAN & i have an option for online Services—> Claim(FORM-31, 19& 10C)—> Proceed for Online Claim. But in dropdown I am getting only PF Advance Form-31 option, whereas I want PF Withdrawal option. Also when I
    am clicking on Transfer Request there below text is displayed:

    Online claim request cannot be processed as :-

     Present employer has not made payment in your PF account.

    Please can you help?

  • 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?

  • 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?

          • 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.

  • Sir i was submitted form31 june27. And they send me processing message also but there have a one problem its running 20 days but Still not creadited my bank account my pf belence. Can you help me why it s heppend?thanx

  • 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

        • I was facing the same problem. It gets resolved when verify the adhar through the link which is available right side of approved KYC.

            • 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).

  • 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 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?

      • 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?

  • 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

    • 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 Sir,

    • 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,

    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 Sir,
    I have transferred my balance from my previous id to the ID maintained by the present employer but both the id are
    still linked with my UAN and I am able to download both the pass book although the entire balance of old id has been transferred to new id along with interest.
    when I am trying to down load form 31 from the unified member portal of online service of EPFO it is giving a message mulitiple IDs are linked with the UAN and required to be transferred before proceeding. I have generated online grievance with EPFO and they have replied the entire balance from previous id has been transferred to new id and in case of problem in submitting online advance claim the physical form 31 can be submitted.

    Can you please tell why this problem is coming for online submission of form 31

  • 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.

  • hi there,

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 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?

                    • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

    • 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.

  • 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 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 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

  • 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

    • 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).

  • 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!

      • Portal logs in now. But, claim option gives error:
        “AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office”

        Nearest EPF centre is too far for me. I’ll see what else options I have to full withdraw my PF.

        Thanks!
