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.

  • Hi,
    I don't know my PF account number and I am fed up asking to our HR about the same. Please tell how to proceed further.

    • @Manish
      Without PF number, a little can be done.
      If your employer is deducting PF from salary, he is legally bound to provide details in salary slip/statement.

  • 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.

  • hi pankaj
    i am x employee of a bank..my employer has been deducting my pf...bt i have left the job in 5 months...can i withdraw my pf and my employer is not intersted in paying my pf...kindly advise

    • @Tannu
      You can apply for PF withdrawal after 2-3 months of leaving job. You can also get PF amount transferred to new PF account with new employer.

  • thanks pankaj for ur information but iwant 2 know that if my previous employer is not ready to sign form 19..can i still get my pf refunded...

    • @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.
