hi, I submitted a PF advance claim on behalf of my friend a couple of weeks ago. A week later received a message as claim approved and it will be credited to the bank account number. four days later again a message has come from EPFO stating that the settled claim has been revert back to the EPF office. Bank details updated in EPFO are correct. but my friend’s name in the Bank doesn’t have initial and the EPFO has initial will this be a complicated one for the amount not getting credited to the given Bank Account number.

Hi, its showing claim settled in Dec 2019, but not credited in my Bank account nor in my PF Account back. Twice filed grievance but of no use? Bank account number is correct except first two zeros which can not be entered. Please advise.

Dear Basu..
Thank you for informative article as always.. I have a question not related to epfo portal but VPF.. Is there any limit to contribute via VPF irrespective of the basic salary by employer and also any lock-in period for withdrawal of money from VPF??
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Aravind,
Yes, there is a limit. Including VPF and EPF it should be 100% of your Basic+DA. VPF features are exactly like EPF.
Aravind
Thank you so much..
