Want to claim EPF from my UAN ( Period> 5 years already). But service is short less than 45 days with the current organization. Amount > 2 lac is already there- as it had been transferred from another organization. How to settle and get the amount despite filing 5 times- all times rejected.

Ans: Dear Ravindra Pateria,

I understand your concern and the urgency you feel regarding the approval of your enhanced pension under EPS 95 by EPFO. It's frustrating when bureaucratic processes become hurdles in securing what's rightfully yours.

Given that you've already taken steps by lodging grievances and reaching out to both EPFO and the liquidator, it might be helpful to escalate the issue further. You could consider writing a formal letter to EPFO, highlighting the urgency and attaching all the necessary documents as proof of your service with the closed organization.

Additionally, you might want to consult with a legal advisor or approach a local EPFO office directly. They might be able to provide guidance on the specific provisions and rules that govern such cases and suggest alternative ways to expedite the approval process.

Remember, persistence often pays off in such situations. Keep all your communications documented and follow up regularly. Wishing you the best in resolving this issue promptly.

Ans: Hello;

You may contact on EPFO helpline to get an update on your withdrawal request.

If they are unable to provide any satisfactory response then you may raise complaint in EPFiGMS portal.

They have to revert to you with any other query or honour your withdrawal request.

This lethargy and delay is unacceptable.

You may ping them on SM about your case without providing personal details.(May be shared through DM)

Best wishes;

Ans: Hello;

For withdrawing EPS you need to put in minimum 6 months of service.

You may have furnished composite claim form online for withdrawal which will get rejected due to short service as mentioned.

You need to furnish only form 19 to the EPFO to get the PF amount withdrawn.

If this doesn't work then you may raise a grievance in the EPFiGMS portal.

Best wishes;

Ans: Hello;

Firstly check with your family if some of your family members have withdrawn it on your behalf.

Double check with EPFO if they are referring to the correct EPF account.

If not then please file a grievance with EPFIGMS grievance redressal portal of EPFO.

If you still do not get proper response you need to send legal notice through your lawyer/EPF consultant for claim of EPF and pension and also file Police complaint for fraud.

Best wishes;
