EPF refund status

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

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.

  • Hi Pankaj,

    I've registered grievance for delay in PF withdrawer with Kandivali office a month ago and also have sent reminder a couple of days ago.
    What other step I need to take in order to get PF withdrawer settled earlier?
    Thanks for your help.

  • I am a resident of Pune but holding a company (vMoksha Technologies) PF account in Bangalore. My PF account number is – KN/BN/35006/608. I left that organization in Dec-2003. Since then (almost nine years) I am following-up with the Bangalore PF office for my PF withdrawal.

    It is ridiculous to know that it takes such a long time to get my own PF amount back. Also, there is no clear communication about the reasons why my PF withdrawal request is not yet processed.

    Since last multiple years I am following-up with PF office in Bangalore and other government offices several times to understand the status of my PF withdrawal but no luck. Also, PF grievance (REF # SROWF/E/2011/04330) filed online did not result in any response from Bangalore PF department.

    For your understanding below are all the previous postal communications made to PF offices and government departments -

    Request Date - 13-Nov-2006
    Documents submitted - Original form 10C & form 19 duly filled
    Response received - 20-Mar-2007
    Response - PF A/C number not correct, Claim form not signed by previous employer, Employer seal not affixed

    Request Date - 08-Mar-2008
    Documents submitted - Original form 10C & form 19 duly filled and attested by previous employer
    Response received - 31-May-2008
    Response - Provide documents to prove your identity

    Request Date - 01-May-2009
    Documents submitted - Original form 10C & form 19 duly filled and attested by previous employer, self attested copy of service leaving certificate, copy of passport and pan card
    Response received - 29-Oct-2009
    Response - Provide indemnity bond with due attestation to prove your identity

    Request Date - 31-Dec-2009
    Letter sent to PF department Bangalore & Minister of personal Grievances asking for the status of PF withdrawal. Not response received from PF department. Response received from Ministry of personal Grievances that my request is forwarded for appropriate action.

    Date – 31-Mar-2011
    Letter sent to PF department Bangalore asking for the status of PF withdrawal. Again, no response received.

    Request Date - 18-Nov-2011
    Documents submitted - Original form 10C & form 19 duly filled and attested by previous employer, self attested copy of service leaving certificate, copy of passport and pan card, Rs 100/- stamp paper duly notorised indemnity bond for identity, certificate of bank manager declaring my saving account is active and operative, copy of ration card, pan card, driving license, latest telephone bill and electricity bill, bank statement copy, cancelled bank cheque, break statement letter from the employer
    Response received – No response yet

    All the register AD acknowledgements and copy of above communications are available with me if required.

    I am really hopeful that you will be able to resolve my issue at the earliest. Request your help to follow-up with PF department & get my PF money deposited in my bank account at the earliest.
