You can complete the whole process online and you neither needs to interact with the employer and nor with EPFO field office to submit the online claim. The claim submitted by the you would flow in soft form to EPFO database where it will be processed and the member’s bank account credited.

- Check that KYC and service shown against your UAN are correct.
- Select which option of withdrawal you want to select like EPF Withdrawal, EPS Withdrawal or Partial or Advance EPF withdrawal.

Dharmesh Bhalala
Sir I’d applied for pf claim on 10 feb, today on 10 March I’ve received a massage that ” claim rejected member wages showing 15000 but eps not deducted. Plz clarify”
What is this issue? What is the solution for this.
Kindly suggest
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Dharmesh,
Hard to say. Better you raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Denzil Correa
Dear Dharmesh
If your pf wage is 15000 eps has to be deducted. From employers contribution 8.33% goes to pension or eps maximum 1250 and the remaining goes to p.f employer contribution.
If this is your first company they have to answer that.
If this is the second company what was the deduction like in first company.
This issue will take sometime to get sorted out because p.f. is clear regarding this issue.
Anything further do write.
Denzil Correa
Dear Dharmesh
It is mandatory to cut Eps when wages less than or equal to 15000
Shridhar M
Sir,
I have applied for Online Pension on behalf of my father. The claim got rejected giving the reason “Claim Rejected EPS CONTRIBITION NOT RECIVED FROM THE ESTB FOR THE PERIOD SEP2015 TO JAN2016 PLEASE CLARIFY” How to proceed with this? As I donot have any option to reply for the same EPFO login. If it has to be done from company side do i need to apply fresh claim after company has given clarification?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Sridhar,
Approach the employer to know why the contributions not done for the said period.
Shridhar M
Sir,
It was due to medical reasons it was made LWP for this period.
Denzil Correa
Dear Shridhar
That’s correct what the Pf office has done.You have to request to correct your dad’s date of exit of pension and p.f.
That should be before lwp.Because as far as they are concerned exit date and contribution received should match.
Sriram
Hi Sir,
I have worked in three companies (A, B, C) from May 2016 to June 2020. Now, I don’t work anywhere. I have three Member IDs and haven’t transferred my EPF amount from A and B companies to C company. Three companies come under EPFO offices in Delhi, Tamil Nadu and Agra while I stay in Maharashtra.
Now, I need your guidance for withdrawing the PF and pension amounts from these three companies.
1) can I withdraw PF and pension from all these three companies through online EPF portal?
2) Do I need to make separate applications on online EPF portal for withdrawing PF and pension from these three companies?
Please clarify my doubts. Thanks in advance.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Sriram,
1) Yes, if all the EPF are under one UAN and KYC complied.
2) If different EPF accounts, then you have to apply differently.
Dharma Teja Bale
My EPS service is not transferring automatically with online EPF transfer. When I checked and raised grievance for the same. But EPFO Bommasandra is asking for Member Ledger Card from my previous organization’s PF Office i.e. Gurgaon. And PF Gurgaon is not giving the member ledger card.
Why PF Bommasandra is asking for Member Ledger Card because they claiming that my PF wages are more than 15000 at the time of my joining. But my first organization PF wages (Basic + DA) are well less than 15000.
Tried to raise grievances with both the offices and raised RTI as well. But no use. For our amount we need to struggle this process is not employee friendly.
Any suggestions any one can give. Any one having escalation contact mail id of All the PF offices. Because both PF Gurgaon and PF Bommasandra are not resolving the issue.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Dharma,
No option but to approach the regional EPFO.
Denzil Correa
Dear Dharma
Print your passbook from your old office and give a copy to Bommasandra which will be a clear indication that you are a pension member.
This way all doubts will be removed and your pension service will be transferred.
Sashi
Hello Basavaraj Tonagatti,
I need your suggestion for the below mentioned query.
I have one UAN number and 2 member ID’s(from company A and company B). Transferred the PF from company A to B long back when I switched jobs. Currently, as I am not working anymore I had my EPF claimed and it got settled successfully. But while I checked my Pension which is still reflecting in my first company(company A and post checking online I got to know that during transfer of PF only PF gets transferred not the Pension amount and it stays back with the old company or Company A here.) Now my pension amount is reflecting in the old(or first)member ID(w,r,t company A) and please suggest me how to withdraw the pension. By the way, there is no pension contribution from Company B. Also I got to know that the pension can be withdrawn even if the service is less than 10 years and not working(without employment/job). Moroever when I try to claim the Form-10C, the service details section page(where we fill in out bank account number in the first page once we click on claim) it gives the second member ID(as I did the transfer from A to B) and as the second company B didn’t contribute to pension, my claim gets rejected.
Please advice.
Thanks.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Sahi,
Using the physical form, you can withdraw the earlier EPS.
Sashi
Heelo sir, thank you for sharing this. In other words, you mean to say that I have to submit physical form in person in the EPFO office ? Here, the composite form has anything to do with this ? Or just the Form 10C is enough ?
Thanks.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Sashi,
Better to submit the Form 10C.

Dear Tousif,
Raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Denzil Correa
Dear Tousif
It looks like you have transferred your pf from 1 company to the next.But as u are aware pension service should get transferred but the reason is they make an entry in their books manual entry in form 9 which basically is the history in short for an employee and eventhough it shows in the computer it does not give updated status.I suggest if the pf office is close by u visit them and give details of your working.That is the only way to get your full money.
Or else it will be rejected because your last service is less than 6 months.
Ramesh MR
I unable to withdrawal of pension (FORM-10C) due to not updated DOJ EPS or DOE EPS to claim ONLINE CLAIM (FORM 31,19,10C & 10D).
How to update DOJ EPS or DOE EPS in online portal?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Ramesh,
Better to take the help of your employer.
Ramesh M R
Thank you
Denzil Correa
Dear Ramesh
Please note the employer does not enter your doj of Eps.
When doj is entered when an employee joins that is considered as doj of epf and Eps.
Also employer does not enter doe of Eps .When an employee resigns his doe from epf is entered and that is considered as doe from Eps.
Chandra
I have total of 12 years service (first service is 10.6 years and second service is 1.1 years). Currently, not employed.
I was suggested that form 10 C should be applied.
When I apply for same, I receive this error.
TOTAL SERVICE IS GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 9.5 YEARS OR SERVICE LENGTH IS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS
What should be done?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Chandra,
You can’t withdraw the EPS but you have to apply for Scheme Certificate.
Ajay
Thanks Denzil Correa and Basavaraj Tonagatti for your advise,
Yesterday, I have asked company to update my DOL on EPF portal,
SERVICE DETAILS
MEMBER ID DOJ EPF DOJ EPS DOE EPF DOE EPS Reason Of Leaving
MHBANXXXXXX 04-JAN-2016 04-JAN-2016 23-SEP-2020 23-SEP-2020 CESSATION (SHORT SERVICE) – Any other reason.
Now I am able to see 3 options for PF withdrawals. Form -19 (only PF withdrawal), form-10C (only PF pension withdrawal, Form-31 (PF Advance withdrawal), means exit date is mandatory for terminated employees and has to avail only form – 19 complete PF withdrawals.
Not sure the reason for including advance PF amount for non-receipt of wages > 2 months in list,
obviously, if the company exit, then employee would have applied for some other reason. even if the employee is terminated or not getting salary for 2 months, it doesn’t mean that company must be closed. Parent company exist and he is not getting salary > 2 months, then portal must allowed for advance money, till he get’s the new job. else he can’t apply for advance. It has to be complete PF withdrawals. (not talking about age > 50 or for pension schemes). So, EPF portal advance reasons must be updated.
Thanks, I am going to applying for form -19 to withdraw complete amount and close my existing home loan.
Denzil Correa
Dear Ajay
You can update the exit date when u enter the system.There you are prompted with the last contribution of the employer.In that month only should be the last date which you enter twice The second to confirm.
You are not allowed to use form 31 only form 19.
Anything further pl message .
Ajay
Hi Sir,
I have been working for 4.9 years in a MNC company and due to pandemic reasons, company started reducing work force. So, I was removed from services on Sep 23rd, 2020. Overall PF account is maintained for 12 years with EPF and PF passbook got updated saying, PF amount not received for past two months and 29 lakhs balance amount is showing from year 2008 onwards. Currently, I am not working and almost completed 3 months without any salary. So planning to take advance through form – 31, but online claim form – 31 was rejected with reason “NOT ELIGIBLE U/P 68H(1) AS ESTABLISHMENT IS LIVE”. means. I can’t take advance by using form – 31, incase current company is still exist or live. I have selected purpose of requesting advance as “non – receipt of wages > 2 months. (no other option available for me to select other than form – 31 advance. ) Means, form – 19 or 10c is not enabled for me, because my company not yet updated exit date on EPF portal. So is this exit date is mandatory for taking advance through form -31 or using form – 19 . If the company not updated exit date, then how will I get advance, even form – 19 can’t be used for final settlement, unless no exit date or I am decided not to work for future. (I don’t have any other reasons like illness, purchase house, .etc ? Could you please help me, how to get advance. (of-course, if I get new job, then I will raise online claim for money transfer from old company to new company member id).
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Ajay,
Using the Unified portal, you can enter the exit date and apply for withdrawal.
James Joseph
Dear Sir,
Myself James Joseph wish to withdraw my EPF & EPS for my previous company. But while going through the UAN portal we can’t make the both withdrawals together. I think need to do separately. In this case first I need to do EPF withdrawal & then again shall I need to place another claim for EPS also. Please help me.
Currently I have around 1,80,000 in EPF & 85,000 in EPS. So can I withdraw the full amount. Help me.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear James,
Yes, do separately.

I have joined organization on 26 Oct 1991 but I left the organization and withdrawal my PF but didn’t withdrawal my FPS. Then I rejoin the same organization in 06 Apr 1998 now my DOJ EPF is 06 Apr 1998 and DOJ FPS 26 Oct 1991 reflecting in PF portal.
I have applied for advanced PF withdrawal but same is rejected due to joining date not tallied as per KYC. Please suggest what I should do now.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear PK,
Raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Denzil Correa
Dear Pk
Date of joining of fps will always be 26 Oct 1991 .What you should look is what is date of joining of Eps which should be 6th Apr 1998.
Why rejected is hard to say and dates i feel should not be an issue.

Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Lajara,
You can update the exit date on your own now.
DenzilCorrea
Dear Lajara
Exit date of Eps comes automatically on entering epf exit date automatically the system will put the same date.
If you are over 58 when exiting epf then eps will be put by the system after calculating 58 years from date of birth.

How to claim my eps online as I am unable to do the same I received my pf amount but not received my eps amount as its not making me withdraw the same
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Sherry,
Better you approach the regional EPFO.

Dear Sherry
There can be only 2 reasons.
There is no contribution to EPS or you have worked over 10 years then you are not eligible to claim EPS .

Ankit Jain
Hello Sir,
How can we see history of our employment prior to UAN? On EPF portal, I can see my service record starting 2015 only (when UAN was issued to me). Though I have done PF xfer from previous employer to current employer successfully, I am unable to see EPS related data for my service history (when UAN doesn’t used to exist) and hence unable to withdraw EPS contributed before UAN.
DenzilCorrea
Dear Ankit Jain
Whatever your service was before Uan started you cannot see.If transfer is done successfully from one employer to the next your service details automatically get transferred to the new employer and the moment your total service is more than 9 years 6 months you cannot take out Eps and will have to claim reduced pension at 50 or normal pension at 58. From your side when you make the claim you should be aware of your total years of service .
DenzilCorrea
Dear Ankit
When you do a successful transfer of p.f. your service details which is Eps gets transferred automatically to the new employer .This is not visible to you.
Regards
Denzil Correa
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Ankit,
No need to worry. If you transferred your earlier EPF to new one, then your EPS will also follow.
Rajesh George
Left the job on May 20, 2020 and I have around 12 years PF Contribution.Now I would like to withdraw the amount but the interest is not credited yet in my PF account.
Could I get the interest of Last year along with this withdrawal or I have to wait for interest to be credited in my account,In such cases could I get the interest for such period. last year interest was credited on October 2019.
Can Apply for EPS withdrawal also
DenzilCorrea
Dear Rajesh
You will get last year’s interest if this years interest is not credited to your company at the time of your claim.
Regarding Eps since you have worked more than 10 years you will get deferred pension at 50 or normal pension at 58.
Regards
Denzil
Wasim
Hi Sir, I have not received interest component for 2 years in a row now.. I have written to the grievance cell a few times, but they only say that interest for previous years is yet to be settled. I’m now in a situation that I need to fully withdraw my PF balance. If I do so now will they credit my interest component before processing my withdrawal or will I lose that amount? Its a very substantial amount and I’ worried. Please advice
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Wasim,
They will credit and you no need to worry.
Wasim
Thanks for your reply. Just so that I understand this clearly, did you mean that they will eventually credit interest and then after that I could withdraw OR they will process the interest dues along with my withdrawal request?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Wasim,
No need to wait. You can request for withdrawal and they credit the interest.

Hello Basavaraj,
My claim is rejected for following reason
´Your Claim [ Claim Id – GNGGN190750106876] has been rejected due to : 1) DOJ FOR PREVIOUS TRANSFER IN PF AND EPS DIFFERS, CLARIFY 2) CERTIFICATE ENCLOSED IS IMPROPER´.
Since my previous service history is not added in the UAN login (however amount from the previous PF is already transferred), I put DOJ as what is shown in UAN login (the date when I joined my current organization). Can you please tell me if I need to give DOJ as actual joining date of EPF (which is 16/08/2011 but not shown in UAN portal) or date of joining 15.10.2012 (shown in UAN where previous history is missing). OR do I need to file Grivence to get something corrected. Please advice.

Hi
As per my current employer I’m not the member of pension scheme EPS because I have mistakenly mentioned it in form 9 during joining.
Now they are saying to check with previous organization regarding EPS withdrawal or EPS certificate. Current employer can transfer only PF not EPS. Employment history is 6 year 6 months

Dear Param,
Sadly they are misguiding you. If you are a member of EPF, then by default you are also part of EPS.

Gayathri
Hi Sir,
I have a query regarding TDS deduction. I have experience of more than 5 years holding PF account, I am unable to verify pan. Is PAN verification and Form 15G mandatory for online PF claim?

Dear Gayathri,
If PAN is not verified, then yes they deduct the TDS.

Kaustubh
Hello sir
I left my job on dec 2018 with 3 year exp complete and did not join any else further,
And post 2 months of leaving i applied for form 9 and 10c.
Following 15 days i got the amount (“96k” as salry was 18k pm).
Now when i open my epfo online portal i saw a pdf which shows employee share+ employer share
Both r withdrawn, last column of pension contribution is still showing few amount of 35k approx,
As my service is less than 10 yr can i withdraw that amount?
If yes please explain process.
Thanks in advance

Dear Kaustubh,
Yes, you can withdraw it. Follow the process like how you did while withdrawing the EPF.

Hi Sir,

In that case, your EPS also followed your EPF.
Jalaluddin
Hi Sir,
Hope ur doing great!!I’ve received final settlement for EPS contribution by Filing Form 10C online.I’ve some queries regarding calculation.Here is my service details
DOJ EPS DOE EPS
1 Company A 23/05/2013 17/02/2015
2 Company B 13/05/2015 24/11/2017
3 Company C 11/12/2017 25/03/2019
I’ve transferred PF from A to B then B to C as well(And I hope EPS has been transferred with Service history).Final PF settlement has been done through Company C. Now at the time I’ve filled form 10c that time my basic salary was 25000. The approx. EPS contribution during these 5 yrs 10 months is more than 50000. However finally I’ve got 15300 as EPS final settlement. is there any discrepancy in calculation or I got the correct amount? If any discrepancy in calculation pls guide me how i can recover the rest amount. Pls clarify my doubt. Thnx in advance.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Jalaluddin,
As your service is less than 10 years, you will not receive the full EPS but only part.
Jalaluddin
Thnx Sir. It means calculation is correct, 15300 out of 50000?? Then I don’t need to raise any grievance???
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Jalaluddin,
Yes, it is correct.
Jalaluddin
Thank you so much, Sir
Santosh Kumar
Dear Sir,
My DOJ EPS is not updated by the Employer and already claimed online PF final settlement with Form 19.

Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Santosh,
You have to first make sure that the DOJ be updated.
Sandeep
Also Sir, I see that Interest is not updated in the EPF passbook for me for this year (March-2019) and for last 2 years for my wife (March2018 and March 2019).

Better you raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
schandra
Hello sir,
My father retired in 2015 and since then we have been receiving monthly pension, with lot of delays and hitches. The company he worked for is on the verge of shutting down and it is not co-operative at all unfortunately towards retired employees.
1) What is the purpose of Form 10C ?
2) Is there a way to withdraw full remaining pension in lump sum, rather than getting monthly pension ???
3) If there is a possibility, could you kindly tell us how to go about it…..
Will it involve the communications with the Employer as well ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Schandra,
1) Form 10C can be used to withdraw EPS if your service history is less than 10 years.
2) NO.
3) Already replied.
Parul
Hello,
I want to fully withdraw EPF and EPS, my company has stopped submitting my EPf and EPS since 4 months.
I have verified aadhar and bank details online, but not able to update PAN. my PF contribution is 4 years and 8 months.
Can i withdraw all amount online? Is there any deduction from amount?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Parul,
First try to link your PAN to EPF by visiting personally to the regional EPFO. Then you can apply for online withdrawal.
Parul
Hello,
I have visited EPFO, they told me that there is a issue on site for PAN link up, I can fill form 15G and claim.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Parul,
Then do as they suggested.

tejaswini
Hi Basavaraj,
Morning!
I am totally confused with EPS and EPF, though I have got some understanding on both and their criteria, I have a few doubts and hopefully you will answer them.
I have worked for 6.5 years in my previous organisation and I withdrew my PF before quitting by claiming it online on UAN portal.
Its been 6 months that I have joined a new organisation and I got to know about EPS, until which I had no clue that EPS existed also. My questions are:
1. Since EPF and EPO contributions are separate, will the claims to be made towards each are separate? As informed above, I have withdrawn PF while I was in previous org so does this mean I have got only the PF share and not the EPS amount?
2. In the above case ( point 1) how can I withdraw my EPS? and how do I check my EPS balance ?
3. In case I withdraw my EPS by not opting for scheme certificate, what happens after withdrawal? will my service gets reset and starts from 1st year since i lose the existing years of service due to EPS withdrawal? will the EPS still gets contributed by employer post withdrawal?
Note: I started working since july 2010
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Tejaswini,
1) Yes, they are separate and you have to claim them separately.
2) You have to apply for EPS separately. Regarding the balance, you can check it in the passbook.
3) If you withdraw EPS, your new EPS (which is attached with new EPF) will show the service history freshly without adding the past history of your old EPS.
tejaswini
Basavaraj,
Thanks a mill for the reply, May I please ask my last few questions……
1. In umang app, for my previous PF account it is showing the details as below
employee share : 6380
employer share: 51116
pension contribution : 72080
since i had withdrawn PF already, under withdrawal section it is showing :
claim against PARA 68B(1) (C)
employee share : 166000
employer share : 34000
Q1: so can you please clarify what is my EPS balance as per details above? does it mean I have a total balance of 129576 ( sum of all 3 above ) or is it just 72080 ?
Q2: I tried to claim EPS using online services tab on UAN portal but it is showing me the current PF account in the drop down and I cannot select or enter the old PF account number ( as my balance is in old PF account ). Also, I do not find an option for Form 10 c to claim and i assume that is because my current PF account is selected by default.
Q3: How will i be able to withdraw my EPS and remaining PF balance from old account if the portal is not giving me an option to select old account.
I started working from July 2010 so am I eligible to withdraw EPS?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Tejaswini,
1) It is Rs.72,080.
2) and 3) Better you submit offline by visiting the concerned EPFO.
Rilesh Patel
Hello Sir,
1) i can’t submitted my PAN for KYC in UAN Login.
2) i have worked 4 years and now i want to withdraw my pf then i got “As your service is less than five years and your verified PAN details are not available under Unified Portal, Income Tax at the highest slab of 34.6% is liable to be deducted if your settlement amount crosses Rs.50,000/-. You are advised to update your PAN details before filing for Online claim and also check your balance before proceeding to submit PF settlement Claim.”
3) i personally submitted my PAN & 15G to PF Office on Thursday and they told you can claim within 3 days.
Now i am trying to claim online then i got same warning of my point (2)… also trying to call but no one receive any call from yesterday….. what should i do?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Rilesh,
It seems the data is not yet updated. Hence, better you have to wait.
Ashish Yadav
I have applied for my PF withdrawal online. But it got rejected and the remarks given were ” WAGES LESS THAN RS.15000/-ELIGIBLE FOR PENSION MEMBERSHIP BUT ESTT NOT REMITTED PENSION CONTRIBUTION/OK ” .
Can you please help me understand what does that actually mean ??
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Ashish,
I think it is an issue with your employer. Check with them.
Kalpana
Halo Sir,
I worked for an organisation from Nov 2009 to Oct 2018 (8 Years 11 months). I want to claim (withdraw) both EPF ans EPS amount.
While trying to do it online, after verifying my bank details it is giving me only 2 options in drop down i.e.a) Only PF withdrawal and
b)Only pension withdrawal, composite (both PF and EPS) option is not available in drop down.
My KYC is completed. Please assist on how to go for claim ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Kalpana,
I am not sure the issue. In that case, try to withdraw separately.
Manoj Kumar Ananda
Hi sir,
I had applied for PF transfer from previous employer to present employer through online and as well submitted form 13, pf office has rejected my pf transfer request.
They say that, after 2014 who has a new pf account are not EPS member, hence they are not eligible for person scheme.
Where at previous employer I joined in year 2015 and this my only one and new PF a/c .They have showed the contribution under both employer and Pension scheme as their practice.
Now PF Office are instucting that they have to reverse the contribution made for pension scheme to employer and which has to be shown as equal to the contribution made by employee.
They say it is possible for employer to reverse this and employer will have to send a letter to PF office to do the changes after reversing as said.
After then PF office will do the necessary changes and do the pf transfer.
1, Is it true, my previous employer would have not contributed to pension scheme?
2, My present employer also contributed to pension scheme, do I needs to inform my present employer to reverse the contribution made under pension scheme?
3. How I take the way forward, please advise.
I have been running around with PF Office since last October 2018, I request you to please please help me in this and do the needful.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Manoj,
I am unable to understand your difficulty. Better you raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Rajinder Singh Bindra
Thanks for these details, I am trying to get my Pf and EPS withdraw. I have submitted “I want to claim my PF ONLY” Option.
Now it is not letting me select theothe option “I want to claim my EPS”.
It is showing error, you have one request pending.
Shall i wait for PF amount to be clear first, then raise it for EPS? Because it is not showing any composit option.
Also, it is not showing any options for saving on tax.
Pls guide.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Rajinder,
If your service is less than 6 months or more than 10 years, then you are not allowed to withdraw EPS.
Raj
hi sir,
your article is very informative, thanks a lot for sharing it:)
I have a query regarding EPS, cant i withdraw money if i want now? the Portal says – TOTAL SERVICE IS GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 9.5 YEAR OR SERVICE LENGTH IS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS.
Can you pls help me on this?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Raj,
If your service is less than 6 months or more than 9.5 Yrs, then you are not allowed to withdraw.
Tushar
Hello sir,
I worked in a company from 24/10/2016 – 23/08/2018.
Submitted form FORM-13 on 7th June 2018 . Claim settled.
Now I resigned from my job and submitted FORM-19 on 4th January 2019 .
Claim settled.
But still my pension amount is unavailable for withdrawal. I tried submitting Form-10C. But after I select it . It shows
” Date of EXIT EPS OR DATE OF JOINING EPS IS NOT AVAILABLE” .
Date of joining is 24-1016 and date of leaving is
23-08-2018 which is visible on my EPFO portal along with my other data like mob number, UAN ,name, PAN. ETC.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE done to withdraw my whole pension amount.
Thank you
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Tushar,
Hard to point of what went wrong. Hence, better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Sang
Tushar no worries, all you need is to contact your last employer and tell them to update your DOJ & DOE date for EPS accordingly in the PF account, that’s it. I just contacted my previous employer today and request them to update DOE for my EPF & EPS which they did immediately and i was able to apply for withdrawal right away.
Dinkar
Hello Basavaraj,
I have completed 10 years service and also few months back I have withdrawn my EPF online. I have completed 10 years from 03 Employers. As I gone through your detailed EPS article I understands now I need to apply for Scheme Certificate from Employer by Submitting Form 10 C. My questions are below
1. Can I submit request online to get Scheme Certificate or only it can be done through Manually submitting updated Form 10 C to PF Office
2. I have 03 former employers and I am not working for any employer at present. Do I need to get scheme certificate for all 03 employers ?
3. I see Rs 1,02,239 accumulated in my EPS account from 03 employers. Will I get this amount back after I reach to age 50 ? or I will get pension based on last employer EPS deducted amount. My last employer has contributed Rs 1,250 to EPS account which I am seeing in EPF Passbook though I am not sure
4. After I get scheme certificate what is the next step? Do I need to wait till 50 years ? or I can submit Scheme certificates to PF office once I get all
Kindly let me know
Thanks
Dinkar
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Dinkar,
1) You can do it either online or offline.
2) NO.
3) You will get pension but not lump sum amount.
4) Yes, you have to wait till retirement age.
Dinkar
Thank you basavaraj
I don’t see any option to get Scheme Certificate on EPFO site. Is pension withdrawal and Scheme Certificate both are same? I heard like as I have completed service more than 9.5 years I cannot withdraw my pension and need to apply only for Scheme Certificate. Kindly share me link to get Scheme Certificate
Dinkar
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Dinkar,
Yes, it is true that you can apply for EPS Scheme Certificate. If you are unable to find it online, then apply by visiting the regional EPFO.
Logik
Hello Basu,
I have epf with exempted trust. The EPS is with EPFO. My employer gives me a statement for EPF. At the bottom of the statement, there is a single note mentioning that Rs. XXXX will be credited to EPS scheme help with regional EPF commissioner office. There is not dedicated column or even summary of EPS amount credited so far.
1) Is there any way I can really cross-check that the EPS is actually credited per month. Can I approach the EPFO (using UAN number ) for the statement of EPS OR the trust is supposed to give me some proof of
2) Also – Do people having EPF with trust get an EPS account number? (Just like EPF number)
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Logik,
1) If your employer is not providing those details, then definitely you can approach the regional EPFO for the same.
2) There is no such EPS number, as it is linked to EPF.

Sir,
I have following Queries-

Dear Sameer,
1) Why the need now?

Hi Basvaraj,
I have recently quit my job and joined another company. I want to withdraw EPF and EPS from my previous organisation. I have quit my job after 4 years of service and my total experience is 7 years
From the UAN portal I am only getting option of withdrawal of EPF. I am not getting option of withdrawal of EPS.
Should I submit the request for the withdrawal of total amount EPF+EPS in one request only i.e. EPF withdrawal? If that is not the case where I can claim my EPS amount from my previous organisation?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Chitrank,
Using composite claim form you can withdraw the both.
VASUKI T S
Dear Sir, Recently I had applied for for both 19 and 10C. I had completed
12 months service. The EPF claim got through and i received the money too. But EPFO (Bommasandra,B’lore) has rejected the 10C claim quoting the reason “WAGES ABOVE 15000, BUT PENSION ALSO CONTRIBUTED”. As usual nobody at PF office, Bommasandra answer the calls in any of the enquiry numbers provided in the website.
Request your help as to how to resolve this rejection.

Triparna Chakraborty
Dear Basu,
I have worked in 2 companies. Can you please tell me what is the procedure to submit for EPS Withdrawal ? Should I submit form 10 to my last organisation or to my 1st organisation ?
Thanks
Triparna
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Triparna,
You have to submit it to your last organization. However, if you are currently working, then you are not allowed to withdraw it.
Triparna Chakraborty
Dear Basu,
There is a bit of confusion with my PF and EPS withdrawal because my 1st company had the money in 3 trusts, and the 2nd company had just 1 pf account.
When I quit my 2nd company, I received the
total PF amount . But I don’t know about the EPS. I can’t see how much is my EPS balance online. This is why when I wrote an email to the 1st company, they asked me to submit form 10.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Tripana,
If your earlier EPF was managed by trusts, then it will not reflect online. You have to contact the earlier EPS.
Triparna Chakraborty
Dear Basu,
Ok so if I understand it right, because my 1st company has trusts I cannot withdraw the complete EPS from 2nd company. I should apply for EPS withdrawal separately to both companies ?
To withdraw earlier EPS I should send form 10 to my 1st company ?
And, to withdraw 2nd EPS I should contact the 2nd company ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Triparna,
YES.
Sudeep
Dear sir,
I have the same problem. First company maintained money in trusts but 2nd company had 1 PF account. My question is, in this scenario, should I submit for EPS withdrawal separately to 2 companies ? or as you mentioned I should still submit form 10 to the 2nd company ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Sudeep,
Better to submit separately.

Yes, you can withdraw your first EPF and EPS. The amount of EPS will be based on the Table D of EPS.

Alok Mittal
Hello Sir,
I was going through your blog on HOW TO WITHDRAW EPF AND EPS ONLINE.
I have retired on attaining age 58 in May’2018, I have not been a contributing member after November 2015 and wish to apply online for final settlement of EPF and also submit claim for pension under EPS
Would be grateful if you could kindly advise on following :-
1] I tried connecting to the online form but could not find any option for EPF final settlement (in fact the composite form was not available there). There was only an option for advance request. I have UAN, AADHAR, PAN & bank account details, mobile, email, etc registered and verified. Kindly advise
2] I could not see interest details for the year 2017-18 in the pass book, it shows interest credited till 31.3.2017 only
regards
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Alok,
1) It may be due to your employer not entered exit date. Please check the same with your employer.
2) They will update.

I am not employed anymore. My questions are
1. Do I have to wait for 60 days after my last working day to withdraw pf amount?
2. Can I withdraw 100% amount or only employee contribution is allowed to withdraw? If so when can I get the employer contribution?
3. Is there any tax deduction on online withdrawal?
4. How long it takes to get money for online withdrawal?
Thank you
Ambily
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Ambily,
1) Yes.
2) You can withdraw both employer and employee contribution.
3) No as your service is more than 5 years the amount you receive is tax-free.
4) Around 10-15 days.
Mahi
I need to know how do i withdraw the eps amount?Am i even eligible as I have just completed 3.5 years of service with my organization?

Dear Mahi,
As you are in job, you are not eligible to withdraw the EPS.
Manali Dasgupta
I left one company on 30.03.2018 and another on 01.07.2018. Both the pf account is showing in UAN portal. The bank account details have been updated in UAN portal and Addhar seeding has been done. But the option of final withdrwal is not appearing in the portal . Only partial withdrwal is appearing . Kindly help
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Manali,
Either date of exit not entered by your employer or if you are working using same UAN, then you are not eligible to withdraw but can transfer it.
RRT
Hi Basavaraj,
This is a very helpful blog.
I read many replies posted by you to various questions and they are very helpful.
But I didn’t find exact answer to my question.
My previous company closed our working unit on Oct-2015.
I’ve UAN with verified AADHAR and updated SBI saving bank a/c nunber.
When unit is closed, I’ve completed 4.3 years (DOJ: Aug-2011)
Now, I’m working with other company and this company has his own PF trust.
UAN portal shows both PF a/c numbers (but can not access present a/c).
I didn’t transferred my PF balance of old a/c and received interested on it for 2 years (still I didn’t received interest for the last financial year).
And my question is,
Can I withdraw all amount (EPF+EPS) of my old a/c?
I don’t want to transfer it to this EPF trust a/c.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear RRT,
YES.
RRT
thank you so much Sir,

Dear Sir,
In my UAN I have one pf account in which all my kyc and bank details are updated and approved by my employer ( which i left 1.5 yrs back).
For the last 1.5 yr , no pf amount deposited in that account.
Now recently I joined another employer , they opened new pf account and linked with my UAN.
But If I click on claim to withdraw the pf now , I got a message that :: Please update your latest Bank account no. and valid IFSC details through your employer/Unified Portal. Even though my previous employer have already approved my all kyc and bank account details on portal.
Please suggest what to do and why it is like this ??
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Sourabh,
Whether those KYC details approved by EPFO? In my view, no. That is the reason you are getting such message.

Dhanalakshmi
Hi Sir, My employee share – 31850, employer share – 9738 & pension contribution – 21678. My total service is one and a half year. My Aadhar is verified. I have 2 questions.
1. If I withdraw my EPS alone, is it taxable?
2. My total EPF is about 40k (Employer + employee), So this is taxable or not? becoz, the flowchart saying above 30K without PAN is taxable and when I tried to claim, above 50K it is table. What is correct?
Can I proceed my claim without PAN verification?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Dhanalakshmi,
1) YES.
2) I said there will not be TDS if the amount is less than Rs.50,000. However, it is still taxable income for you.
Dhanalakshmi
Thanks, Sir. Still, I am confusing. How is it a taxable income for me? Because my total EPF is Rs. (31850+9738).
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Dhanalakshmi,
As your service period is less than 5 years, even if they not deduct TDS, it is taxable income for you.

Hi Sir,
My employee share – 31850, employer share – 9738 & pension contribution – 21678. I raised a ticket for some queries in the grievance cell and they said Rs. 24101 is available in your account. Since it is less than 30000 TDS is not applicable. I have some confusions.
1. Why are they saying its only some 24k available in my account?
2. Can I withdraw my both PF and pension at a time or separate claim process required?
3. Am I eligible for TDS deduction or not?
4. If I withdraw both PF & pension amount, totally how much I will get in my account?
Please Clarify
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Dhanalakshmi,
I am not sure why they say so. As per me, you can withdraw EE+ER+EPS (part of). Check with them only.

Hello sir,
I have few doubts. I left job on feb 3rd 2018 and updated all KYC details including bank account. The company also has updated the end of employment details.
I want to claim the EPF amount as well the EPS amount(pension amount). My service is only for 2 years. I am going abroad and I am not going to continue employment here.
I submitted the online form 19 for claiming the EPF amount.
Now to claim the EPS amount whether I should submit the option as “ONLY PENSION WITHDRAWL(Form 10C)”
It means whether I should submit it twice (form 19 and form 10 C online seperately)
Also, my employer advised me to send a two copies of form 15G and a pan card to PF office after online submission.
Whether I should download form 15G fill in and send it?
Please help me in claiming full amount.
Many thanks in advance
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Sowmya,
Yes, you have to submit Form 10C also. Yes, download the Form 15G and send it.

I have transferred the PF amount from my earlier organization to new one. I see the amount got transferred into the new PF account with new company. But my EPS amount was not transferred. I realised this will be be transferred after one resigns a company.
In the claim request I dont see an option to withdraw the EPS amount . (10c). Can you recommend other options I can explore?
Avinash
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Avinash-In composite claim form it is available.

Thanks Basavaraj for the response. But my doubt still remains. But I can see only the Form -31 option on the claim option
Logged into the unified portal –> Online Services –> Claim (Form -31,19 & 10C) –> in the drop down only form 31 option comes up. Nothing else
I have submitted a transfer request earlier and the status in Accepted by field office.
Am I looking at the right option you are referring to? Kindly advice.

PUN
Hello,
I completed my service of 9 years and 9 months and left the job form privat company. I placed request for final withdrawal of PF online, which is currently pending. By mistake I missed to claim the Pension portion. Will I able to raise the Pension withdrawal separately? Please guide. Thanks.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Pun-Yes, you can request for pension now.
PUN
Hello!
Thanks for the quick response. As suggested, I tried requesting pension portion online. It showed the following messages and hence I could not proceed:
“NOT ELIGIBLE FOR PENSION WITHDRAWAL” :- Your Previous Claim (Form 19) is Pending Already.
I hope I am eligible; but can raise the request only after current claim for withdrawal of PF portion is closed. Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Pun-Yes, you are right and I hope your earlier pending withdrawal also requesting the EPS also. Anyhow you have to wait.
PUN
No. As mentioned earlier, by mistake I selected the ‘PF only withdrawal’ while submitting the current pending claim.
Sure, let’s wait until it’s closed.
PUN
Hello,
As mentioned earlier, I had placed the PF withdrawal request online during the first week of April, which is currently showing under process status.
To my surprise, today when I checked the EPFO portal, many of the details available earlier under my profile have disappeared. Details like ‘exiting service’ etc are now blank.
Also under the claim, only advance claim option is available; where as, earlier 3 withdrawal options (only PF, only PS, and combined) where available.
Is this change in my portal temperory as the claim is under process. I am quite surprised to see this status.
Also, last midnight I got SMS from the EPFO (same message 21 times). The content of the message was: “A auto transfer claim for transferring your EPF accumulations from XXXX. P LTD to XXXX. P LTD has been considered against UAN XXX. If this transfer does not belong to you, it can be stoped claim within 20 days of date of linking(13-APR-2018) by login to https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface or contact your employer /concerned EPFO field office.”
Please guide. Thanks.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
PUN-I think there is an issue with the portal. Better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance cell Online.
PUN
Did you mean to say that there is an issue specific to my case?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
PUN-May be with portal.

Rahul Chauhan
I am facing issues with my EPF withdrawal, after more than six months of exit. During this time, I have worked as an independent contractor, and may take salaried employment at some time during the future.
I would be happy if some things could be made clear to me, by an expert, point-wise.
1. I had incorrect date of birth registered with my EPF account. I filed the changes through the epfo portal. The employer sat on it for 45, days, but agreed to send a joint declaration fixed it. (I don’t need clarity on this, just added this for context)
2. I understand that Aadhaar number, bank account, and Pan number are essential for online transfer. As of now, the employer tells me the following
i) The employer has lost credentials to the epfo portal (irresponsible, but plausible)
ii) The employer is saying that they are submitting form 9, and form 2 (or both)
Can you tell me what these forms are for, and do they, in any way, help in approval/updation on the KYC? Or is the employer being clueless, or worse, being deceptive?
3. Suppose, by magic, these KYC are completed. (Aadhaar, Bank A/c with IFSC, PAN), is there any employer involvement/approval for EPF withdrawal? (I mean for the online process). In the past, I have done an online transfer, and employer approval was needed, but it was granted promptly.
4. In case I do an online transfer to a future new employer, will the past employer approval be needed? (Online)
5. I had also filed a grievance, with the relevant authority. The reply was as follows:
It is informed that after processing your grievance,the following action(s) has been taken:
Necessary directions have been issued to the establishment to update KYC and the same will be approved shortly. Member has joined xx-yy-zzzz and left on aa-bb-cccc member may apply in claim form 19 and 10c for withdrawl
Can you tell me what is the role of form 19, and form 10c? Do either, or both need the employer’s signature?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rahul-It is hard for me to handhold you in all aspect of EPF. Be in touch with concerned EPFO.
Rahul Chauhan
Thanks, I am perfectly capable of looking after myself. As you can see, I have done a fair bit of work on my own, unlike many of the other posters. I just wondered if you knew what these forms were, and have some knowledge about the process. And I’ll obtain more info from RTIs, and try to be more helpful than you to those who need it.
I just hoped that you could be more helpful.
So, thanks, but no thanks.
Veer
Does EPFO database gets itself updated if employee is unemployed for two months with Exit Date taking last PF contribution into account or that’s done manually though we have all automated. Does this functionality exists of DOE updation automatically?

1. Sir is there any time gap defined between two organizations for withdrawl of eps?
2 . My organization is exempt establishment hence unable to check on epfo site in passbook. Is there any other way?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Shirish-1) To withdraw EPS or EPF, you must be out of job for at least 2 months.
2) Then contact your employer itself. They might have the internal set up.
Samuel
Hello
I have worked in a company for 7 year and now I am not working anywhere. The company has updated my Last working day and sited reason as Cessation (short service). I tried to claim form 19 and form 10 c. But in UAN I am getting seperate options. “Only PF Withdrawal (Form-19)” & “Only Pension Withdrawal (Form 10-C)”, how to submit the claim. Is it like twice I have to submit if so can I do both the submissions the same day?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Samuel-Use Composite Claim Form.
Swati
Hi Sir,
I am facing same issue as there are only 2 forms listed in the drop down “Only PF Withdrawal (Form-19)” & “Only Pension Withdrawal (Form 10-C)” and no Composite Claim Form is listed there.
I have applied for PF using form 19 but while selecting form 10-c for pension amount I am getting “DATE OF EXIT EPS OR DATE OF JOINING EPS IS NOT AVAILABLE”.
Please suggest regarding it.
Thanks!
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Swati-I think your employer not entered the date of exit. Hence, you may be facing an issue.
MJ Menon
I have submitted form D. The claim status initially was Under process and now it is Status not available. What does this indicate?

2. I have never withdrawn my PF but kept transferring to the new PF account till my last employer.
3. I resigned on 4th July 2017.
4. My DOB 14/08/1960.
5. I have now received my PF ~ 70 Lacs and applied for pension by submitting form 10D providing all PF Account Details of previous employments.
6. My last CTC is approximately 63 Lacs.
7. What will be my Pension amount.

Sourav
Hi Sir,
I worked for 7 years in Company A and then moved to Company B. I transferred my PF from A to B. Both of this PF were mapped to UAN A. Now when I moved to Company C after 1.5 years, they have created a new UAN B (I do not know why) . I transferred to my pf from UAN A to UAN B. Now from UAN A , I raised EPS withdrawal claim. Will it be accepted or rejected? If accepted then will I get both of the EPS amount of Company A and Company B?
Thanks in advance.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sourav-You can move EPS from UAN A to UAN B.
Sourav
Hi Sir, Thank you very much for your prompt response. But I did not see any option to transfer eps from UAN A to UAN B while placing withdrawal request from UAN A.
Also I want to withdraw this eps amount of UAN A now. Am I be able to do that?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sourav-Yes, this what I wanted from you to know. EPS will never get transferred. Whenever you transfer EPF, your EPS records will be updated by EPFO. But before that you have to request EPFO through your current employer for the merger of both UAN.
Ajay Panwar
Hi Sir,
I do have a question;
As on the Portal it is showing the options for Online Claim as “Only PF Withdrawal (Form-19)” & “Only Pension Withdrawal (Form 10-C)”, Am I eligible for both of them & withdraw one at a time, or I can only Apply for ” Only PF Withdrawal (Form-19)” i.e Employer & Employee Share.? I served a total Period of 2 years & 3 Months in the Organization..
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ajay-You can withdraw both.

2.I am being released from the current company on march last week and company joining will be april 1st week.So when i need to submit the online withdrawal EPF and EPs request?
Basavaraj Tonagatti

2) After 2 months from not being in job.
Mallesh
Hi Sir,
1.Shall apply for EPF advance withdrawal(90% Total EPF) for my personal emergencies while working in the company?
2. If so the total EPS and rest of EPF(10%) will be transferred online to other company pf account if I leave from current company?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Mallesh-Personal Emergencies in the sense? You are allowed to withdraw only for purposes like health issues, purchase of property or educational cost and that also with some rules and restrictions.

Due to some health issues only I wanted withdrawal.
So in that case could you please answer my previous queries

I worked in previous organisation for 1.5 years (1st and only Job) and I have applied for EPF (Form 19 ) and EPS (Form 10C) both together. Its been more than 2 months I left my previous organisation and I am jobless now. Will I get full EPF and EPS amount? My total EPF+EPS is around 56,000 INR so, will there be any TDS deduction? If yes, then how many percent?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Disha-You will get full EPF and part of EPS. They deduct TDS. Refer my post for the same at “EPF Withdrawal Taxation-New TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) Rules“.

I have claim final settlement and Yesterday EPFO credited the amount of PF into my account but not credited Pension contribution, so they will credit pension amount or not?

shiva
Hi,
I have raised a PF transfer request form UAN portal. EPF amount has transferred to my new PF account but EPS/pension contribution was not transferred.
can you please help me to get pension contribution my new PF account.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Shiva-EPS will never get transferred. EPFO just update your service records.
shiva
Hi Basavaraj,
Thank you so much for your reply.
If you dont mind can you please tell me
1. where can we track our pension contribution as you said EPFO update our service records.
2. when can we withdraw pension contribution from our EPF account.
3 what is the terms and conditions to withdraw pension contribution.
Thanks.
Shiva
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Shiva-1) You can check online using your employer-provided facility (if they trust). Otherwise, request your employer to share the EPS balance details.
2) You can withdraw after 6 months (when you leave the job). But if you are withdrawing before 10 years, then you will get part of it but not fully as per Table D. If you completed 10 years, then you will get scheme certificate which is eligible for pension when you retire from your employment.
3) I already explained in 2nd answer.

Mohammed Akram khan
Hello, I applied for PF using Form 19 and 10-c and now Passbook showing Employee share-Rs.21306 and Employer share –Rs.6517 in withdrawal column and Pension Contribution showing is Rs.13426, i got a message 2 days back that Rs. 13426 has been credit in my account, but still not yet received, what about the Employee share and Employer share amounts, please help me and advise me .I did not understand please advise me
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Mohammed-Usually they credit in slabs but not in one shot. Wait for up to Tuesday. If it is not credited to your account, then approach EPFO.
Nithisgowtham
I need to claim both pf and pension, but in EPF site shows two options 1 ONLY PF, 2 ONLY PENSION ,Third option is not available how can I claim both at same time
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nithisgowtham-You have to claim separately (as per the process).
Meeta
I am trying for Full PF settlement through online Form 19. On selecting the option, it only asks me to fill the address on the form and then on the same form there is a small box to check for OTP generation. Should it not show me ‘Generate Claim PDF’ option to generate ‘Claim form’ first for my review before I allow for OTP generation or will i get the claim form generation option after OTP is authenticated?
Also I completed more than 10 years of service and am under 50 years of age. Is it right that i can not withdraw EPS online for that reason? If yes, then what is the process to get ‘Scheme certificate’ ? Is it possible to do it online?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Meeta-Once you generate OTP, then you can view the claim form. As you completed more than 10 years, you are not allowed to withdraw. Hence, you have to apply for Scheme Certificate. Approach the concerned EPFO for the same.
Meeta
Thanks for your prompt reply.
With regards to Scheme certificate, do i need to have form 10C signed from my employer? How long generally EPFO takes to process the Scheme certificate ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Meeta-Yes, you have to submit the Form 10C. Hard to say anything about the process timeline.
Vinayak

Karun
Hello Basavaraj,
I had transferred my PF from employer A to employer B. I understand that PF amount gets transferred to my new employer whereas EPS, only service record gets updated on UAN and the amount does not get transferred to the new employer account.
Now I am unemployed for 3 months and have claimed for PF withdrawal by submitting for 19 & 10C online. I want to know if EPS from my previous employer (A) will also get credited along with the entire PF amount of A&B?
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Karun-YES.

Triparna
Hi sir,
I can see that my PF from ex organisation has got transferred to my new organisation. But I can’t find the EPS amount.
I have quit my current organisation in order to study outside the country. So I wanted to place a request for EPS withdrawal. Please tell me how can I do it ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Triparna-You have to use the EPF Composite claim form for withdrawal of both EPF and EPS.
Triparna
I got the PF transfer done from the 1st organisation to the 2nd organisation I worked for. But I dont know whether the EPS also got transferred because it didn’t reflect in the passbook. The 1st organisation maintained 3 trusts.
When I left the 2nd organisation few days back, I submitted the composite form for PF withdrawal.
So now I am wondering what to do about the EPS in 3 trusts from my 1st organisation. Can you please let me know what can be done ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Triparna-Your EPS also followed your EPF.
Triparna Chakraborty
Ok thank you so much for your quick reply. Much appreciated !
Gayatri
Hi,
I have 4.3 years of experience and i claimed for EPF partial withdraw today online.
My PAN is appproved by my employer but online verification status is “Unverified”. My Adhaar is linked to my UAN and bank account details and mobile number are provided correctly.
After submitting the claim, i found in the claim pdf that the PAN is reflecting as “Not Available”. As the amount i claimed is more than 50k, i heard that there would be TDS deductions of 34% if pan is not provided.
But my doubt is, My PAN status. is it considered as provided because it is approved by my employer in the portal and also linked to my Adhaar, or considered as not provided as it is unverified?
Also, if there would be more TDS, i would like to cancel my claim. Please suggest how.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Gayatri-This is all happening due to your employer NON-verification of PAN. Inform the same to your employer. Also, avoiding TDS does not mean avoiding tax. Due to your service period, the income you receive from EPF is still taxable income for you and you have to pay tax on that.
Arun
Lemme share my experience here.
My KYC (Aadhar, PAN Bank A/C) was verified 3 years ago by my previous employer. A couple of weeks ago, UAN shockingly displayed that my PAN failed. PAN Unverified!!
Then i realised that the name on my PAN card ended with my initials while UAN and Aadhar just had my name spelt as ‘Arun Kumar’.
When i tried uploading my PAN i encountered an error message on UAN that stated (Name against UAN does not match with the NAME in Income Tax Department).
Worried about the 34% TDS deduction while withdrawing PF if PAN not verified, I thought of correcting the name on my PAN online. It took around 12 days to get a copy of my corrected PAN from NSDL to my residential address.
After which, I was able to upload /re-submit my PAN on UAN for my employer’s to digitally verify the same. Right now, its all fixed.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Arun-Do you think avoiding TDS means avoiding tax?
Arun
TDS stands for ‘Tax Deducted at Source’. PF withdrawals above 50,000 is taxable. TDS will be deducted at the rate of 10% unless PAN is submitted or verified on UAN.
However, in case Form 15G or 15H is submitted along with pan by the member, then TDS is not deducted. These forms are to declare that their income would not be taxable after receiving payment of their PF accumulations.
Note : If PAN is not updated then there will be a deduction of 34.6% for PF withdrawals above 50,000.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Arun-But avoiding TDS does not mean avoiding TAX. Also, all individuals are not eligible for submitting Form 15G or 15H. Your income must be below Rs.2,50,000 for that year.
Arun
Basavaraj, nowhere in my earlier comments have i mentioned about avoiding tax. Lets not get mixed-up between avoiding vs. saving. My intention here was to highlight the savings of 10% tax against 34.6% when PAN is provided during PF withdrawals.
If an individual withdraws PF above 50,000 before the completion of 5 continuous years of service then he/she is entitled for TDS.
If PAN is verified on UAN then they are entitled for a 10% TDS. If PAN not provided then the TDS is deducted at 34.6%.
Not all PAN verified members can further save the 10% TDS as there are certain criterias that make them eligible. To get detailed explanation on who can submit Form 15G/H and when, please visit the following link:
https://www.relakhs.com/form-15g-form-15h-clarifications/
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Arun-Whether the TDS is 10% of 34.6%, at the end, it is based on the individual’s tax slab. This is what I am trying to say.

Ok, so I have been facing the same problem, because I provided an incorrect and invalid account number, the payment did not get credited to my account, however, EPFO has deducted the amount, now I have raised a grievance about the same issue and gone to the regional office, where they asked me to get in touch with my bank but the bank has no information about this. The claim status is “settled” . I don’t think they really know what that word means.This has been going on since March 22nd, 2018. Clueless.

Sanjay Kumar
Hello,
I moved to Germany(don’t have employer in India) and trying to place a PF withdrawal request using UAN portal where I have everything activated however I am getting the following error. As per the pre-requiste, all the pf balance must be transferred to the last PF account, since I don’t have employer in India, I even can’t initiate a transfer as the employer must sign in this case. So can you please suggest any alternate way to withdraw the EPF and EPS ?
Error -> Multiple member-id’s found linked to your UAN. Kindly transfer all to current member-id before proceeding.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Sir,
Thanks for the brilliant blog.
I have one query. I have resigned from my company (Infosys) and am currently unemployed and no longer plan to take one for next 2 years. KYC shows that we need our employer to verify our documents. But I have no employer currently. Who has then to validate my Aadhar document in KYC? I need this so that I can claim my EPS money online as per your blog.
Regards,
Aikya
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Aikya-If Aadhaar linking and verification is pending, then you can visit the concerned EPFO and link it offline.

Neetu
Hi,
I was on maternity leave and had to resign due to personal reasons. My employer has credited 2 months extra salary to my account, when the whole maternity policy was being changed by the govt. Now my employer says i’m not eligible for new policy. they added salary by mistake and i’ll have to return it to complete exit procedure. I want to withdraw my pf online but my name doesnt match with aadhar and my employer is not cooperating to change it or help me withdraw my pf until i pay the due amount. I’ve been struggling for almost 3 months now and i dont know what to do.
I want to know if we require the company relieving letter to withdraw pf directly from epfo office.
I wanted to avoid visiting epfo as i’ve heard it takes a lot of time and too many visits. It’d be difficult for me to manage with a baby and sick mother at home. but looks like i have no choice.
Not sure if you can advice something helpful but i just thought of asking.
Thanks anyway for your blogs, they’re very helpful
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Neetu-Sad to hear your story. But check whether your EPF is KYC verified. If YES, then you can withdraw online. If NOT, then you have to apply offline by visiting EPFO WITHOUT EMPLOYER also.
Nancy
I’ve completed 8 years in an organization. Would like to withdraw my pension amount. What is the procedure?

Hi Sir,
I am currently not working. It has been more than 3 months since I resigned. Now I am planning to withdraw my PF. But I am not using the bank account which is updated in EPF portal. Are there any options to change my bank account number against my PF.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Lakshmi-You have to change the bank through your employer.
Biswajit Bhattacharya

Rishav Soni
Hi Sir,
I am Rishav and i have worked for 22 months and now I’m pursuing my MBA. I’m financing my study my self and for that i needed my epf and eps amount. I applied for both online using form 19 and 10C. My epf request is settled but my eps request is rejected. Can you please help me in resolving it because I’m in need of money.
Thanks.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rishav-I am not sure why they rejected EPS claim. Raise the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Rajendar Raj
Hi,
I am planning to withdraw PF for paying for my new house. I have paid the downpayment but I want to prepay my housing loan. My PF is linked to my AADHAR and I have submitted an online statement to my housing society.
To withdraw, do I need to submit the composite form? And should I give my personal bank account number in the composite form (which is already linked to my PF account)?
Also, I have not been working for more than 2 years due to ill health but I have only 4 years of continuous service. Will I be taxed for this withdrawal? If yes, is there a provision to not get taxed?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rajendar-Refer my post “EPF withdrawal for house, flat or construction of property“.
Rajendar Raj
Thanks Basavaraj. I read through your article and it doesn’t answer a few questions:
(a) I have not been working for more than 2 years due to ill health but I have only 4 years of continuous service. Will I be taxed for this withdrawal? If yes, is there a provision to not get taxed?
(b) If the downpayment is already made through a bank loan, can it be used to prepay the bank loan (not EMI but prepayment)
(c) The composite form doesn’t have any provision to write some other bank account number there (e.g., bank account number of the loan)
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rajendar-a) If you are taking as an advance, then no tax.
b) Usually, they allow to pay to the builder not to bank to reduce your EMI. But still, check with EPFO.
c) I am not sure of this.
Anil
Hi,
Can I withdraw the EPS amount rather transferring it to a new account while moving from one organisation to other?
Can I do this each time?
If yes, please let me know the procedure.
Thanks,

Anil-NO.
Balaji K

Balaji K
Thank your for your update !
It is reflecting under the approved KYC along with Aadhaar and Bank details , but Verified status is available only for Aadhaar and not for PAN .
Sandesh Agrawal
Hello Basu Ji,
My total service experience is 3.6 years, I used to work for an IT company and worked there for almost 3 years and now i have changed my job 5 months back, after joining in new organization i applied for PF transfer and can see that PF transfer has been done successfully. but wanted to know about the EPS amount.
Can I withdraw that amount? if Yes, than what is the procedure for that?
Thanks in advance,
Sandesh
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sndesh-Your EPS will follow your EPF. But it never get transferred. EPFO will just update your service records. Hence, you no need to worry.
Sandesh Agrawal
Actually I am in need of some small amount as of now, so can i withdraw it, if yes than what is the procedure sir?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sandesh-NO.

Ritika Taneja
Hi Basu,
I left my job 6 months ago after working for 2 years and 9 months and am currently persuing studies.
I am in need of some money and was thinking of withdrawing my EPS.
Can you please help to clear my following doubts:
1) Can EPS be withdrawn without withdrawing EPF?
2) Am I right in thinking that EPS withdrawal is better for me than EPF as i do not need the whole amount, EPF will still earn me interest for 3 years and will also be taxed since I have not completed 5 years of service?
3) Does EPS withdrawal alone attract any taxation?
I would be really greatful if you can help to clear my doubts please.
Thanks in advance 🙂
Ritika
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ritika-1) NO.
2) I am against the withdrawal of both EPF or EPS. Keep it like that and once you join job, then use the same EPF.
3) I already replied.
Priyank Saxena
Hi Basu,
I requested for PF Final Settlement online and I got the amount credited to my account. While filing the claim I selected option ‘Only PF withdrawal (Form 19)’. My question is – when I request for PF final settlement – does this amount includes the pension amount. Or I have to file another claim online using option ‘Only Pension withdrawal (Form 10C)’. Please suggest what needs to be done – As per my understanding – Pension is credited in a separate transaction. Hence, I have not received Pension amount. I was in a job for 8 years and now a freelancer.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Priyank-Instead of all these doubts, why can’t check the EPF part balance and cross check the same with the money credited.
Priyank Saxena
Alright thnx 🙂
Sunil Kumar

Thank you for sharing the useful Info, Can you please guide how can I get my PF amount transferred since I am having 2 UAN one for current employer and one for last and now no one is ready to help. Pls suggest

Basavaraj Tonagatti
Duraimurugan-Hard to believe. Better you raise the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell online.

Hi Basu,
I quit my job last year and want to withdraw my PF balance as i am not in a job anymore.
My UAN has 2 PF accounts linked to it and when i try to claim withdrawal online, i get an error message saying i need to transfer the PF balance from first employer to the second one before withdrawal. My question is do i really need to do that. As my Aadhaar data is seeded can i not withdraw using the composite form and UAN number and submit it to the EPFO.
Thanks,
Sanjay
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sanjay-Actually not required but they are asking means you have to.

Brinda
Hi,
I have been trying to claim the PF amount (partial withdrawal) on the portal. However, keep getting an error message ‘Multiple member-id’s found linked to your UAN. Kindly transfer all to current member-id before proceeding’. The transfer from previous organisation is reflecting in the passbook with a note saying ‘subject to verification’. Have frequently followed up with the EPFO, but in vain.
Could you please suggest how the above issue can be resolved in a timely manner. It has already been more than a month and the wait is still on.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Brinda-Raise the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Swathi
Hi,
My name is Swathi, I have complete 10 years of service in my current organization. I am planning to go for
PF partial withdrawal for purchasing a house. I have below doubts. Can you pls check and reply .
1) When I try to apply for the loan online, in the purpose of Loan filed i could see only the option “CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSE”. So for “purchasing a house” also I have to select the option “CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSE”?
2) Once I received the PF loan for “purchasing a house”, do I need to send any documents to the EPFO
after the property registration. If so, is there any dead line (time period) to submit the registration documents to
EPFO?
Thanks,
Swathi
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Swathi-1) YES. 2) In my view YES.

Hello Mr. Basavraj,
I am a 66 year old individual who took VRS in 2003. I have submitted 10D form for withdrawal of EPS after I completed 58 years age. But the EPFO has not yet given me the EPS. They have been giving some of the other reasons and totally I have submitted the form many times. I have been trying since last 8 years. Also they do not respond to any of my letters until I raise a grievance.
Now finally they are saying that my EPS of some of my years was not transferred to the right office. Finally I got that to done. Now after I have sent everything they are still not responding. I do not know how to raise a complaint and get my EPS. Please advice now I can withdraw my EPS without these many problems.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ramesh-Whether you raised the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online?

Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ramesh-If you are not satisfied with the service of EPFO, then you can opt for legal action.

Ragavendra
Hi Sir,
I have transferred by EPF amount from my previous employer to current employer through online .
However my EPS amount still not yet transferred to my current employers EPS account. Could you please tell me when this amount will get transferred to my current employers EPS account.
Also is there any form do we need to submit for transferring EPS amount to current employer EPS account?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Raghavendra-EPS never get transferred but EPFO just updates your service records.
Ragavendra
Sorry sir I dint understand the above comment.
Correct me if I am wrong. Are you trying to say EPFO will just keep updating our service with all employer and at the time of our retirement i.e after 58 yrs will gave back this money in the form of pension or bulk amount.
Could you please tell me where can i see my eps amount of all employer till date from the date i started working.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Raghavendra-YES now your understanding is correct. Is it not visible in EPF Passbook? If not, then contact EPFO.

Joshna
Hi Sir,
Recently I checked the status of my online claim for PF withdrawal and found that it was rejected.
Below reasons were given-
Reason of rejection: CERTIFICATE A/B/C/D/E/F NOT ENCLOSED / SIGNED
Remarks by DA/AO: IT IS REQUESTED TO SUBMIT THE SAME AFTER UPDATION OF REVISED ECR FOR PENSION CONT./OK
Could you please elaborate the reason of rejection.
I have done it through online process and why do the certificates need to be enclosed?
All they have asked in the online process was seeding of FORM-11,aadhar card, and bank details
Thanks,

Hi Rakesh,
It is done by the Employer. Just a couple of weeks back, I got the ‘Date of Exit’ updated by my ex-employer since until then only ‘partial withdrawal’ option was allowed and rightly so.
rakesh pattnaik
thank you so much prasanna
Vivek
Hello Basu,
I was able to successfully do a online claim of my PF account on the UAN portal, however while checking the status yesterday, i see it was rejected with below reason.
Reason of rejection: PAYMENT NOT DEPOSITED BY THE EMPLOYER
Remarks by DA/AO:NO CONTB RECD FOR THE PERIOD 08/15 – 02/16. FORM 15G & PAN CARD TO BE SUBMITTED A/W PHYSICAL FORM/K
The period they mentioned above i was at onsite and then it started continuing once i was able in India. My Aadhaar, PAN and bank details are seeded..
What should i do next, should i approach EPF branch using a composite Aadhaar form for withdrawal along wiht form 15G? I assumed if the service is below 5 years and if PAN is submitted the TDS would be 10%.
Thanks,
Vivek
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vivek-It is a better option now to approach the concerned EPFO.
Pawan kumar
Dear Sir,
I have tried to submit online claim but the error stated that more than one ID’s linked to UAN. All accounts to be merged in single account before proceeding.
I have left one Pvt. Company 4 months back where I have worked approx. 3.5 years and joined new company from that time. I have given my previous UAN number in the new company.
I want to withdraw my previous company PF amount as I need money for higher study.
Please help to guide the process.
Much appreciate your valuable feedback. Thank you!!
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Pawan-Use offline mode of withdrawal.
PAWAN KUMAR
Thank you sir for the support.
I have some query for offline mode of withdrawal. please help: –
1. My UAN is active and linked to my Aadhar. All other information are correctly updated in EPFO records. Which form I can use to withdraw pf offline….. UAN based new form or the old form.
2. Does it attract TDS? Since my PAN is updated in EPFO and the pf contribution is for 3.5 years and val. is more than 2lac.
Looking forward for your support.
Vivek
Hello Basu
I quit my job last year and have not yet claimed my PF.. I am currently working for my own startup and don’t have any PF running.
So i have everything that is mandatory on UAN member portal to do the withdrawal..
After filling the online form, validate it by Aadhaar OTP and then when i click on ‘Validate OTP and Submit’ I get a message
“Claim Is Not Submitted on portal,Please try again later”
Do you know what could be the reason..
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vivek-I am not sure what went wrong as it is purely procedural matter. Better you try after few hours, by clearing the cache or changing browser.
Moses John
I am trying to submit withdrawal request online since thursday and continually get the same message.
“Claim Is Not Submitted on portal,Please try again later”
Moses John
i feel they might have disabled the portal as there has been a holiday on friday and they did not want their work to pile up
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Moses-Not sure.
Moses John
I guess I will give it a shot during the business hours. I will share my findings.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Moses-Sure.
Prasanna
Did you give a try to the instructions I had shared in my comment dated – ‘July 26, 2017 at 12:26 PM’ ? I see that, it has worked for many others too.
Moses John
Yes Prasanna I tried all that, I guess I will give it a shot during the business hours
Prasanna
I just happened to try final PF settlement option and I received the same error – “Claim Is Not Submitted on portal,Please try again later”. I’ll try again during business hrs tomorrow and also by clearing cache/switching to a diff browser as suggested above. Will update if it gets through.
Prasanna
Tried all the options listed above, but the issue persists. I’ve dropped a note to helpdesk.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Prasanna-Better to raise in EPFO Greviance Cell Online.
Mithun
HI Prasanna,
I’m getting the same error and I was looking for threads that could help me. Were you able to process your claims. If yes, please share the mitigation steps you followed. Thanks much.
Mithun.
Prasanna
Hi Mithun,
I’ve already shared the updates on this blog. Pls refer to my comment dated – ‘July 26, 2017 at 12:26 PM’.
Prasanna
Hi Vivek,
As posted below, I had faced the same issue too. I tried clearing cache/cookies, switching to a different browser/machine but in vain. Today, on a hunch, I redistributed my address info on the 2 address fields ‘equally’ (earlier, first text box had much of the details while second box only had my village name) and that nailed it for me.
Hope, this could be of some help to you/others too.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Prasanna-Great to know and thanks for sharing this 🙂
Arsalan Khan
It worked for me as well Thanks a lot Prasanna 🙂
Puneet Mohan
Hi Prasanna,
Did you split the complete address mentioned on your Aadhar Card in equally in the “Street” and “Locality” Field (including commas, full stops and space)?

rakesh patnaik
basu ji when I try withdrawing online form 19 it gives a error aadhar is not authenticated
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-Then you have to update your Aadhaar either through an employer or by visiting the concerned EPFO Office.
rakesh patnaik
sir my aadhar is already updated and its kyc list
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-Then I don’t think this error must come forward. You raise the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell online.
rakesh patnaik

Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-PPO stands for?
rakesh patnaik
pension payment order
Basavaraj Tonagatti

siddharth
hi basu sir. I want to know if I fill form 19 for final settlement am I gonna paid full amount I.e employer and employee contribution if yes then for pension epf will deduct amount from where if they credit entire amount
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Siddharth-Your final settlement involves only Employee EPF Share+Interest on that and Employer EPF Share+interest on that. EPS will be payable to you based on the number of years you served.
siddharth
on EPS part I will get paid according to no of years served and rest amount where it will go
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sidharth-It will be with EPFO.
rakesh pattnaik

rakesh pattnaik
basu ji. please tell how to update missing details in epf online
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-EPF UAN Helpdesk is not working properly. Hence, you better do it through your employer.
prasanna
Hi Basu,
Its nice article. Thanks for posting this.
I served with my company more than 10 years and resigned my job March 2016. I no longer working in India. I didn’t withdraw my EPF. I received my EPF statments from my previous employer for the year 2016-2017. In that TDS 10% is being deducted for the interest amount . Could you explain why TDS if I am not withdrawing my amount?
Total amount in EPF : 10 lakhs
Interest credited approx for this year : 86,000 RS
10 * TDS decuted : 8600 RS
Thanks in advance for your response.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Prasanna-In my case TDS is not at all an issue. Because first thing, your account is more than 5 years old and you have not withdrawn. But still TDS for what purpose they deducted I am not sure. Check with EPFO immediately.
prasanna gnanavel
Hi Basu,
I checked with my employer and received the below response. I am still not clear.. Will you please explain?
”
The interest on your PF balance as on 31st March 2017 will attract tax as per below income tax rule. ”
“Under Section 10 (12) of the Income Tax Act, the ‘accumulated balance’ due and becoming payable to an employee participating in a recognized provident fund during the tenure of his service, do not form part of total income.
The expression ‘accumulated balance’ is defined under Section 2 (f) of the Fourth Schedule – Part A, to mean the balance to the credit of an employee on the date he ceases to be an employee of the employer maintaining the fund. Thus the accumulated balance, is the sum of the amount of provident fund credited to the account of the employee during the tenure of the employment of a member.
The interest credited to the accumulated balance of an employee who has resigned or retired from his services, does not fall within the exceptions provided in Section 10 (12) or Section 8 of Part A of the Fourth Schedule, and is therefore to be treated as income liable to be taxed. The Company / Trust is therefore under the obligation to deduct tax at source from such interest under Section 194A of the Income Tax Act. ”
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi Sir,
I would like to add one more point, I was under loss of Pay for an year between 2013 and 2014. Will it be considered as break in the service and treated as less than 5 years service? Is it the reason for tax on interest?
Best Regards
Prasanna
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Prasanna-That may be considered as break. But what I am pointing is, you are not withdrawing the EPF means no question of taxation or TDS.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Prasanna-Here income liable for tax only when you realize it (withdraw it). Here, you are not withdrawing. Hence, no question of tax liability. You can file a complaint against your employer with EPFO and CBDT. They have to bend.
rakesh pattnaik

Sarath
I have given application for PF claim online on June 19 th and when I check the status it is showing the claim is submitted on the portal. After online submission there is a printable form showing the summary of withdrawal request. Do I need to send this form to PF office or everything will be done just online?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sarath-Not required.
Sarath
Thanks brother. Its been more than one week and still the status is showing submitted on the portal. Do you have any idea how long it will take?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sarath-It hardly takes more than 15-20 days.

Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ashok-Discuss the same with your employer.
Joshna
Sir, I had a doubt. Could you please answer this query.
I had resigned on Aug 16,2016. The interest will be credited only up to the last transaction in the passbook or will it be credited(FY17) until I had withdrawn the amount?
Thank you in Advance!
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Joshna-It will be credited to your account as long as you hold it without withdraw.
rakesh pattnaik
why is it risk to keep idle account for long because now interest will be given to every account am I right sir
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-Earlier there are scams with idle accounts. Now may be reduced. However, it is safe to track account cautiously.

Senthil Kumar ks

rakesh pattnaik
good morning basu ji. epf generally credits interest in the month end or any day of the month
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-It is yearly once.
rakesh pattnaik
once in a year I know. means they can credit any working day not specifically month end isn’t it sir
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-That is left with you and there is no such specific disclosure.
rakesh pattnaik
sir. I joined the organisation on the yr 1977 and retired on 2013 plz tell me what is the approx pension I will get avg salary 1995 onwards was 6500 for pension calculation. before 1995 I dont know the avg salary
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-Sir it is hard for me to calculate to an each individual.
rakesh pattnaik
I can understand sir. but before 1995 can u have the formula to calculate after 1995 it is avg salary *no of yrs ÷70
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-Sir refer this my earlier post “The complete guide to Employee Pension Scheme (EPS) 1995“.
rakesh pattnaik
basu ji. the epf interest is calculated on the last contributation or on total figure which is employee plus employer contribution full amount
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-Please refer my post “How EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund) interest is calculated?“.
rakesh pattnaik
basu ji I want to know the process of pension. means steps. concerned office send to epfo then what are the steps
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-Whether you are eligible for EPS pension?
rakesh pattnaik
yes sir. I want to know steps it goes through
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-In that case you have to get the scheme certificate. Refer the post “The complete guide to Employee Pension Scheme (EPS) 1995“.
rakesh pattnaik
what is scheme certificate
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-Refer the said EPS post.
rakesh pattnaik
basu ji currently the minimum pension is 1000. is there any chances of hike
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-Let us hope for the best 🙂
Vishal
Hi,
I left my job last year Dec 2016 and applied for EPF withdrawal.
At the time of balance withdrawal I had 7 years of experience with different employers.
I always transferred my EPF balance from old employer RPFC to new employer RPFC.
Also I ad submitted Form15G at the time of filing the request with employer.
But now I see the RPFC has deposited the amount y deducting 10% from the amount I see in EPF updated passbook.
Please help what should I do now?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vishal-If your EPF account is more than 5 years old, then they can’t deduct TDS. Raise the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell online.
Vishal
I started my employment in Dec 2009
Switched employers below
2nd employer in May 2011
3rd employer in Dec 2013
4th employer in Mar 2015
left 4th employer in Sept 2016
My EPF account also changed for every switch and I made sure to transfer the EPF balance from previous employer to current employer.
But in case of 4th employer, they created a new UAN account for me instead of referring the UAN from 3rd employer. Now the EPF passbook shows the PF credit for 4th employer and balance transfer from 3rd employer.
I spoke to RPFC today and they said to submit documents to prove my balance transfers, I dont know what doc can prove/where to retrieve the same.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vishal-I think they are referring to transfer 3rd to 4th. If so, then use OTCP.
Kumar
Hi Sir,
I worked in a company for 3.5 Yrs , two month back i quit my job now not working, i hav 65k in my EPF account , want to apply for withdrew online but my doubt is will any tax deduction for online claim. all my pan, aadhar , kyc details where updated online and verified too,
my salary slab is 2 lac i have filled nil tax return can i opt for 15g declaration with manual UAN based EPF claim to avoid 10% TDS, kindly advice am i eligible for 15g declaration to avoid tax
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Kumar-This income will be taxable for you as you have not completed 5 years. Just giving Form 15G to avoid TDS does mean that you avoided tax. Even if you submit Form 15G and avoided TDS means you have to pay the tax as per your income tax slab.
Shezaan
Hi Basu sir,
Interrupted you once again.
As this article is not relate to my question but i believe I will get solution here.
You helped me in pnb bank issue before.
My question is how much money I can get from my Exide life new fulfilled policy?
I have a bad experience, with customers support, no call no reply on mail, even not my advisor helps me.
I will complete 5 years in Aug this year and planning to withdraw my policy. I did not get even my bonus which is occurring 75K now on my Exide online account.
Can you please advice, what to do ?
I’m paying 25 K ever year, so till this Aug i would paid 125K.
Please advise
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sheaan-I am not sure of how much you get back if you surrender and none than the Exide Life will have to tell this to you. Hence, better you reach to their office and inquire. Instead of a call, emailing of taking help of an adviser, why not you reach physically to their office and get the information?
Abrar Mohammed
Hello
I am Unable to Update My Aadhaar Number in KYC Documents. It By default shows my UAN number there.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Abrar-Contact EPFO regional office or raise the issue online with EPFO Grievance Cell online.
Bidyut Ghosh
What is the implication of the recent EPFO order No. Pension-I/12/33/EPS amendment/96/Vol.II Dated 23.03.2017 based on a decision of the Ministry of Labour & Employment (Ref. Press release dated 19.12.2016) and Hon’ble Supreme Court’s judgment in SLP No.3302-33033 of 2015, whereby a provision has been introduced for payment of pension on the basis of “actual salary instead of statury limit of Rs.15,000/-.
When is it going to be implemented and how this is going to be implemented in the case of exempted Trusts/Companies.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Bidyut-Let us wait for the action from EPFO.
rakesh pattnaik
as u said 10 yrs of service required for withdraw full amount. mine it is 30 yrs compleated in organisation. can u say sir from which yr its implemented
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-I am not saying about withdrawal EPS, but you can opt for pension.
rakesh pattnaik
sir. part of eps means. what percent we can withdrew of the total eps. this error is coming when I apply online
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-If you not complete 10 years of service then you are not allowed to withdraw EPS at full. They pay some % of it based on the tenure of your service.
rakesh pattnaik
sir. when I am applying 10c online withdrawal of pension then error is coming you have compleated 9.5 yrs of service less than 10 yrs sir how to claim then
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-You are allowed to withdraw the part of EPS but not full amount. Because of that may be you are getting an error. However, I don’t think they must show such error as one can withdraw EPS before completion of 10 years also.
rakesh pattnaik
basu ji. epfo interest calculated on total amount means total of employee contribution and employer contribution or any other process
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-It is on your and employer contribution but not on EPS.
rakesh pattnaik
that’s right but if the employee is retired from 3 yrs and his money still with epf he didnt withdrew and he nor employer contributes any more then his interest will be calculated on total lum sum money he has in epf. suppose he has 800000 total interest calculated on 8 lakhs?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-Yes, this is what I am saying.
rakesh
basu ji. epfo credits annual interest in which month and it reflects in passbook in which month
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-EPF accounting year starts from March and ends on February but interest will be credited on April every year. So they may update within a month or two.
rakesh
thank u sir
rakesh
epfo annual interest normally reflects in passbook when means which month
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-EPF accounting year starts from March and ends on February but interest will be credited on April every year.
rakesh
why after aadhar seeded successfully its asking for update aadhar is there any error in their database plz clarify
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rakesh-None can confirm this.
sudha
hi
I have two UAN numbers (old company and current company), I did online PF transfer the old account to new account one month back but still its showing previous and present employer approval pending….. What can I do now?
i have submitted all the forms to my current company ,
Regards,
Sudha
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sudha-Let your older company approve it.
sudha
i need to contact my old company or they will approve ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sudha-They approve but if they NOT, then you have to approach your old company or the local EPFO.
jitendra
December 30th-16 I resign from my last company and joined new company as 02-jan-17.
Total epf contribution is around 3 years. I have same UAN number in both the company.
Can i withdraw my PF amount via form 31 or advance (online /offline).
reason- marriage or medical
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Jitendra-Your EPF account must complete 3 years, then only you are eligible for withdrawal. Refer this post “EPF withdrawal for house, flat or construction of property“.
N S Jeena
Dear All, do you have any notification regarding the same.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Jeena-Check in EPFO portal.
bkscmehak
Sir,
I worked for a Pvt Co. & had withdrawn the EPF. For FPS I have received a certificate.
Now I have joined second company having EPF & FPS, but my FPS is not transferred.
1. Whether I can transfer the FPS?
2. If yes, How?
3. Or I will have to wait for superannuation to get both the FPS?
4. The current FPS is in a different state (Jharkhand) than the first one (UP).
Regards.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
bkscmehak-Your EPS will never get transferred. EPFO just update the service records.
Dinesh
aadhar is not linked to UAN portal they are error how to linked aadhar
bank passbook is linked
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dinesh-Refer my post “How to link Aadhaar to EPF using online and offline?“.
Vishal
The error “AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office.” while applying for Online PF withdrawal might be due to the name mismatch. Usually employers link Aadhar to UAN with name as shown in PAN card, there are cases where in the name sequence in PAN card is different than the one in Aadhar card (PAN card can have “Middle Name First Name Surname” while Aadhar has “First Name Middle Name Surname”). Try getting the KYC corrected from your employer.
Kiran
The error happens to appear even if the name in Aadhar is same and is approved KYC list. This is something which no one is clear about and the only option is to visit them with the composite claim form (Aadhar based).
Waste of life..Pathetic implementation of a very good service…
Shame!!
Aditya Jain
Hi,
I have all the 3 KYC doen successfuly and its showing as my Bank account, Aadhar and PAN but it giving me the error “AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office.”

sandesh
Online service activated for my account but as usual facing typical govt issue. It gives me error “Aadhar number not authenticate by UIDAI. Please visit nearest EPFO office.” Then I tried for again updating Aadhar number then it show error “temporary facing Aadhar server issue” Dont know why these babu logs create problem in every good initiative.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sandesh-It is mainly due to UDAI server. You have to try for some more times.
Kiran
Its the same issue with me and other colleagues here!!.
Well, have tried it 10-30 times and still the same error. WHY? can’t they think and make something simple..is it coz giving out our money is a pain in their ***?
Could you please let us know any other way apart from physical visit to the EPFO office?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Kiran-That is the ONLY way.
sandesh
As per social networking sites, majorly all people are facing same issue. Hope govt will take some action.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sandesh-Yes, it is common issue and I hope they resolve soon.
Kiran
Hello Basu,
What if there is difference between EPF date of joining and EPS Date of joining?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Kiran-I don’t think it can happen. Has it happened with you?
Lokendra
No option to withdraw when login to EPFO. My KYC is already done and Aadhaar is also linked.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Lokendra-Wait for the update of the portal.
Vajid Ali

Alok Ranjan
Respected Sir,
I have worked in Accenture for 3.5 yrs and then switched to another company bt worked there only for 3 months. I have already claimed the epf amount from the latest employer pf account without merging the old pf account. After this I merged the old pf account with the latest employer. Now total pf amount credited in new pf account . UAN is same for both the account. Now I am trying to withdraw the pf amount as well as Eps amount , but it get rejected with the error message-EPS erroneously remitted.
Please suggest me the solution .I will be thankful to you.
Thanks
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Alok,
Hard to predict. Better you raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Ashok
Great News..thanks for the info Basu.

Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ashok-What reasons they quoted for rejection?
