Hi Pankaj,
Thanks a lot for the helpful information. My EPF withdrawal request has been submitted on 11/08/2011 and it is still showing as under process. How much time it takes to get the approval?
@Poonam
There is no fixed timeline provided by EPF department to release EPF withdrawals. Can’t comment on how much time they will take.
My own EPF form is pending since April 2011 due to computerization of department.
as per your intimation my pf withdrawal form submission date is 28.06.11. but till date i am not received my claim amount.please inform me that how many time you will take now.
Hello Sir,
I need to withdraw my PF amount and currently working in MNC in Chennai and My PF amount is Around 50000
Let me know the criteria for the same
whether can i withdraw the full amount of my PF?
Regards,
Rengaraja
@Rengaraja
You can withdraw full EPF amount which was deposited during previous employers.
PF deposited with current employer cannot be withdrawn generally unless there is special request like on buying/constructing home, daughter’s marriage etc.
Hi Batra,
thanks for your reply….But my company says that we can able to withdraw only,if the Persons should complete 5 years of service

If you withdraw before completion of five years of service, amount would be taxable, but you can very well withdraw it.

Sir,
I had submitted my claim of EPF through my employer M/s Craftsman to EPF office(Delhi south) three years back, but no amount was released nor it was rejected due to any deficiency. Despite my repeated requests, EPF amount was not released. I have again submitted my claim during May,2011 through my ex-employer, but still EPF amount is adamant to release the EPF amount. I have requested several times to the concerned office, but needful has not been done. Can I hope that they will release the amount immediately with interest which has been delayed for more than 3 years. Claim No. is DL-32177/0157.
@Deepak
Did you checked EPF Claim status on their website (http://www.epfindia.com/ClaimStatus_New.html).
Does it shows there. If yes and it shows 3-4 months old deposit date, you better file a complaint on http://epfigms.gov.in/
Your deposit will still be earning interest during all these times.

Due to computerization of EPF department, they are delaying processing of refunds since last 6-7 months.
God knows when they will be finish this task.
My own PF withdrawal in pending since April 2011.
If they are nor replying on grievances too, I would suggest you to file a RTI to know the status and further time it would take.
Thank you Mr. Pankaj Batra, the EPFO link was helpful for PF refund complaint.

@Umanth
You should fill form for EPF transfer and deposits in all old accounts.
After this all amounts from previous accounts will be transferred to current account. This will also make you eligible for continuous service rule.

Dear Pankaj
Re PF Transfers from prev. employers:
-Understand that no matter how old – one can yet get PF transfers – from Government RPFC !
-Does that apply to transfers from PF Transfers from PF Trusts [ manitained by the Companies themselves ] ?
– Where does one complain Re PF Trusts [ manitained by the Companies themselves ] ?
@Anil
I am not really sure about timeline for transfer in case of company PF trust.
To complain about company PF trust, it should be directed to company HR/Management and PF trust heads.
HI,
I left my previous employer in June 2010. I submitted my PF withdrawal forms recently and it is under process. I worked with that employer for 3 years.
I read in many sites that the PF amt is taxable if I withdraw before 5 years. Now my question how will the tax be deducted. Some ppl say that PF dept deducts tax before they settle it and some say that they settle complete amt and we have to declare it as other income when we file IT returns. Which one is true?
@Pradeep
PF department generally do not deduct TDS on EPF payments. They have been scolded multiple times by income tax department and Govt for the same. But still they are not doing it to save their headache of income tax computation, deposit and form-16 issuance etc.

Hi Pankaj, I recd an sms stating amount approved for payment through cheque and payment under process…..Does it mean EPFO dept will transfer through NEFT ( i had given all details including cancelled cheque) or will send a physical cheque at postal address. Waiting for reply, thanks Amit
@Amit
Even if they pay by NEFT, status shows cheque only. It has happened in my case. So can’t really say whether they will send amount through cheque or NEFT.
