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.

  • Complain of PF Withdrawal - MH / 94745 / 147
    I had applied for PF withdrawal in November 2010 and I got acknowledgement copy 3rd of February 2011. After that I follow up with your Kandivali office (Mr. Brito), but they lost my papers and they didn’t tell me the same. After that again I filled the form 19 and form 10C and submitted to Kandivali office in July first week. Till date I have not received amount.Kindly look into this matter and please do something to get it as soon as possible.

    • @Sanjivani
      You may have to wait for some more time to get your EPF withdrawal as department is taking 3-4 months as of now to clear accounts due to computerization of records.

      • But why 3-4 months more, Because i have acknowledgment receipt of the February 2011, and after that THEY lost my papers and IF i again filled and submitted. THEY should take it on priority basis.
        my company's PF consultant suggest me to put written complaint regarding this so that they can take immediate action.
        Do you really think that i have to do this.

        Please suggest.

      Please wait for some more time
      Due to computerization of PF accounts, department is taking even 4-5 months to clear refunds. My own PF withdrawal is due since April.

  • Hi Pankaj,

    I have applied for my PF on 14-05-2011 , and still the status is in process. So much more time have to wait. If my PF was in Kerala might have got my refund within 3 weeks as its in Bandra Mumbai no way of dreaming so.

    • @Jisha
      All PF offices are going under big changes of computerization. Thats one of the reason why refunds are being delayed.
      My own PF refund is pending since April, 2011 with South Delhi office.
      We have no solution but to wait and watch.
