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.

      EPF refund takes minimum 1.5-2 months to process.
      There is no minimum service condition for applying for refund. If you apply before 5 years, refund will be taxable as per income tax slab.

  5. Hi Pankaj,

    My frined and I had filed a PF refund form at my previous employer at same day in the month of december last year. Both my friend and I had got a NEFT transaction for the EPF refund amount on Monday (28-02-2011), where my friend got 2 NEFT transaction amonting to 2 lac and I had got only single NEFT transaction of 16K only, although both of us should be getting equal amount as a refund. He had got it already and now its almost 3 days over and I have not got my 2nd NEFT transaction.

    Should I wait for some more time or should I take some action?
    Kindly advise

  6. It is frustrating to see the PF department in Pune, sending a cheque after 3months to a bank which has shifted..inspite of providing them with the cancelled cheque & complete bank account details.

    Is there any Bank account type restriction for PF cheque to be deposited?
    Has it got to be a single account?
    Can a EPF refund cheque be credited to a Savings account of a Non-nationalised bank, the account is in joint name of EPF account holder & his spouse.
    Thanks, Shri

  13. Hi, I have joined new company in Sep-10 and sent form 13 to my previous employer. After completing formalities they forwarded the form to PunePF office in Dec 2010. But till date the amount has not got transfered into my new PF account.
    I have 2 questions
    1) Now whose responsibility it is to follow up with PF office, mine or my current employer’s?
    2) If it’s my responsibility, then do I need to go to PF office personally and try to find the status or there are some organizations/people who can help me out.

    Thanks in advance.

    • @Ashish
      Unfortunately, PF department operates in a least transparent and open way.
      If you directly ask them about transfer status, they won’t tell you. Better is to get it asked from your current employer.

    • @Tannu
      In case, its not possible get employer sign, get your signature verified from a bank Manager, any gazetted officer, by Member of the Central Board of Trustees. / committee / Regional Committee (Employees’ Provident Fund Organization) or Magistrate / Post / Sub Post Master / President of Village Panchayat / Notary Public and submit the Form to the PF office with a covering letter mentioning clearly the reason why you were not able to get form verified by previous employer.
