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 company A for 3.5 years. As per the new system we can only withdraw fund online. I've created my profile on PF portal and see that all of my KYC details are updated. I left my previous job on 4 March 2018 and joined company B on 16th April 2018. My company A has updated the last working date in the system but as per the process I've linked my UAN with my new company B. I wanted to withdraw PF for my company A on urgently basis but since I've linked my UAN my date of joining has been changed and my date of exit is also vanished. I tried a lot online but unable to claim my PF. Can you please help me in this matter? I don't know what to do.
I also visited PF office and they've given me the PF form to withdraw it offline but my previous organisation A is not ready to accept it as PF office is not accepting the offline form from them. Below is the screenshot which shows that even online transfer can't be done.
Dear Yusuf,
Did you share the same old UAN with new company (B)?
Kindly note that EPFO has reversed its decision and will process even offline claims..
As you are currently employed and contributing to EPF scheme, you can not withdraw full PF balance, however you can make partial withdrawal based on the certain terms & conditions. But, before that you can transfer funds from old EPF ac to new EPF ac. You may kindly take help of your ex-employer or current employer reg transferring of funds.
Kindly read :

Hi
By clicking form 19 button do i get full amount ,that is , employee, employer contribution and pension amount. ?
Dear Surya ..Form 19 is for EPF balance withdrawal (employee+employer share + accumulated interest).
So.it doesnt include pension amount. To withdraw pension amount i need to submit again
Dear Surya..Form 10c is for EPS withdrawal.
