EPF refund status

Now you can check your EPF refund status online, Click Here Remember to open it in Only in Internet Explorer.

In case, you are not happy with status of your withdrawal/refund application, you may contact EPF office. You may find address/phone number on this link: http://www.epfindia.com/epfo_directory.htm

If they also do not listen, launch a complaint on this website: http://epfigms.gov.in/

EPFO (Employees Provident Fund Organization) is now moving to electronic payment system. PF refund amount will now be credited directly into member’s bank account through NEFT (National Electronic Find Transfer).

Currently department issues cheque and post it to member’s address, the process takes up to a month and leads to a large number of complaints. EPFO will also collect the mobile numbers of the members so that it could send SMS alerts informing about credit of the pension amount.

  • I have submitted form for withdrawl EPF on 12th April 2011.... still not recd amount in my mentioned saving account. When can I get the money (It already more that 3.5 months over)

    You mentioned that If they also do not listen, launch a complaint on this website: http://epfigms.gov.in/ I have raised complaint on this website also with Registration Number is : SROWF/E/2011/02687 .... still no response?

    • @Ankur
      As computerization of records is going on in all PF offices, it may even take more time.
      Be patient as nothing more can be done except waiting for it, like thousands of other account holders.

      • Hi Pankaj, Epf office rejected my form and said that Form 3A and 6A are not matching.... what is the meaning of that? and what I need to do next. Please suggest. Thanks

        • @Ankur
          Employer sends form 6A to PF office every year.
          In case there is a mismatch in form 3A attached with PF withdrawal form and 6A in records of PF department, they may reject the form.
          You should contact your previous employer who issued form 3A asap and get it corrected.

  • Hi Pankaj,
    I applied for PF withdrawal in the 1st week of June 2011. If I check online it says it is under process. But if I try to check the amount, it says invalid entry. The same happens when I try to check the PF that I am getting from my current company.
    I served in the previous comapny for nearly 1 and half year. And then I was converted as a full time employee. So will there be a TDS on my PF as I am withdrawing it? And does the PF office deduct it? How can I get it back? Appreciate your help in this regard.

      Account balance system is not fully updated as of now, don't worry about what it shows.
      Please read How to calculate tax on EPF withdrawal here .
      Most probably PF office won't deduct TDS and you will have to compute yourself and add to your taxable income,

    • @Akhilesh
      PF department may reject PF form if you are joining a new company and in-spite of getting EPF account transferred you are withdrawing the amount.
      To make sure amount gets withdrawn, write a different reason like leaving India, self-employment etc.

    • @Sunny, @Yasmin
      As computerization of PF department accounts in under process. They are not clearing most of the withdrawal cases.
      it may even take 2-3 more months in refund.

    Sir,
    Sub: Balance Payment of P.F withdrawal Amount.
    Ref: Killick Engineering Ltd P.F A/c No: MH/THN/99902/0003.

    Please ref to our letter Date: 26/05/2011 copy enclosed for ready reference, which is self explanatory, on enquiry I found that there is clear cut error / mistake gross negligence in making payment to me. Now I have to receive Rs. 2,56,618/- (approx) from Provident Fund Office. Simple Points:

    1. When you can start pension by considering two companies services, why cannot you pay full amount credit available in my P.F. account.
    2. Instead of rectifying your own mistake you are orally asking me resubmit Form No: 19 without any justification.

    You are therefore requested to look into the matter immediately and oblige.

    Thanks & regards.
