As you may be aware, the EPFO has launched an online EPF claim facility during the month of May (2017). This is a great initiative by the EPFO. This online PF withdrawal facility is beneficial for both PF subscribers and employees of EPFO.
Besides the online EPF withdrawal facility, an EPF subscriber (employee) can also submit his/her offline PF claims through new Composite Claim Forms.
However, it has been observed that the online EPF withdrawal facility has often been shut down for maintenance activities, due to which the employees are unable to withdraw PF online.
One of my blog reader’s has suggested an another alternative for making online EPF withdrawals i.e, through Govt’s UMANG App.
UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) is envisaged to make e-governance ‘mobile first’. It is developed by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and National e-Governance Division (NeGD).
UMANG is one single mobile APP for availing various government (central/state) services online. It is expected that the app will soon integrate almost 200 government services by 2019. You can download this single mobile app instead of multiple apps for each department and can easily avail many Govt services at your finger tips.
As of now, you can find very popular services related to EPFO, PAN, NPS, Aadhaar, Passport, AICTE, CBSE, Pathshala, GST, HP Gas, Bharat Gas, Indane Gas, PMAY, DigiLocker, National Scholarships etc., on UMANG.
UMANG app has an exclusive tab for EPFO related services. It offers both employer and employee-centric services. Under employee services option, you can avail below services;
Below are the pre-requisites to make online EPF claims through UMANG app;
Let’s now discuss the EPF withdrawal process through UMANG mobile app in detail.
The UMANG APP can also be downloaded by giving a missed call 9718397183 or from UMANG website. Erstwhile EPF mobile services will soon be discontinued.
A word of advice – Your EPF contributions / savings are meant for your retirement (long-term). So, think twice before you withdraw your PF money. Try out all the options and sources to fund your expenses or needs. EPF Partial Withdrawals should be your last resort.
Latest update (03-May-2018) : EPFO Introduces ‘View Pension Passbook’ Service for the pensioners through Umang App. On clicking ‘View Passbook’ option in Umang app , it requires PPO Number (Pension Payment Order) and Date of Birth information to be entered by the pensioner. After successful validation of the information fed, an OTP will be sent to the registered mobile number of the pensioner. On entering OTP, ‘Pensioner Passbook’ will display the details of the pensioner like Name, DOB along with last pension credited information. The facility to download the financial year wise complete pass book details is also available.

Hi, I worked for 2 companies, I already withdraw form19 from both pf accounts, I have transfered the 1st pf account to the 2nd one, now I want to know, when I apply for form 10c, will I get both pension contribution amount from latest pf account?
Dear Shravanthi,
Ideally, you should get the total accumulated EPS amount, provided your service period is less than 10 years..
Can I withdraw using umang app for form 10c?
Dear Shravanthi ..Yes, you can..

Hi Sir,
I want to withdraw my of through Uamang but procced to claim options not click options so plz suggest
Dear Dinesh,
Mostly your ex-employer might not have updated your Date of Exit and Date of Joining in your service history. Kindly contact them. Once they update these details, you will get to see the options for EPF withdrawal (Form 19) and EPS withdrawal (Form 10c).
I have applied form19 through Umang app on 26th November 2018. How may days it takes to get the amount in my account??
Dear Jasmin,
Generally online claims are settled within 10 to 15 business days.
You may submit your grievance to the EPFO online via this link..
Raise Claim Tab is not showing up on the Umang Application,is it an ongoing issue ?
Dear Nitesh .. It can be temporary tech issue.. kindly try after sometime..
Hi Sree, I got my Canadian PR recently. Planning to relocate next year, Can I withdraw my PF amount for contributing for a purchase of property abroad. How much can I withdraw, I have downloaded Umang app and my UAN is linked with Aadhar.
What option do I choose? Any documentation or proof to be submitted along with the online claim?

Dear Deepti,
I believe that you can make partial withdrawal.
No documentary evidence is required. You may kindly go through this article @ EPF Partial Withdrawals / Advances : Details, Rules & Guidelines

While opening passbook both amounts are showing. Do I need to do transfer request in online to get both amount. How to withdraw both amount? Currently am not working.
Dear Sruthi,
You can get the funds transferred online from your previous EPF ac to new/latest one and then can withdraw total accumulated EPF.
OR
You can withdraw the funds from latest EPF account online and from previous EPF ac offline through your ex-employer.
