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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Hi Pankai,

    In April of 2011 I applied for PF withdrawal but until now it still shows UNDER PROCESS can you tell me what to do next. I even send them Grievances complaintin which my Grievances is lodged with the office: EPFO, RO, Gurgoan.

    Ph #. 01242578633 (though i tried to call them for many days, still its not working)

    plz call 08004172920

    • @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.

      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.

      We cannot do anything in this matter as we are not running EPF department.
      Its a platform to share information and knowledge by and for common people.
      You should write to PF officer and may complain at epfigms.gov.in

      It may take some more time to receive your rejection letter at your address.
      In case you do not receive even after 30-40 days, file a complain at epfigms.gov.in

  13. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. Hi Pankai,
