59-Year-Old Employee's EPF: Date of Exit Incorrect and Facing Challenges to Correct

Ans: If your Aadhaar and bank details are linked on the UAN portal and your UAN is active, use the Composite Claim Form (Aadhaar). You can fill and submit the form directly to the EPFO office without requiring attestation from your employer.

Ans: To withdraw the entire EPF amount after leaving your previous company, follow these steps:

Login to the Unified Member Portal of EPFO using your UAN (Universal Account Number) and password.

Once logged in, navigate to the 'Online Services' tab and select 'Claim (Form-31, 19 & 10C)' from the dropdown menu.

Verify your bank account details linked with your UAN. Ensure that your Aadhaar details are also seeded with your UAN for authentication.

Next, select the claim you wish to file. Since you left your previous company, you'll need to select 'Form 19 - EPF Final Settlement.'

Fill in the required details such as your personal information, previous employer details, and reason for leaving.

Enter your bank account details where you want the EPF amount to be credited.

Upload any necessary documents such as a cancelled cheque, if required.

Review the details entered and submit the claim.

Once submitted, your claim will be forwarded to your previous employer for verification.

After verification by your previous employer, the EPFO will process your claim and credit the EPF amount to your bank account.

Remember, it may take some time for the claim to be processed, so keep an eye on the status through the EPFO portal. If you face any issues during the process, you can reach out to the EPFO helpline for assistance.

Ans: Your case is unique. My suggestion is get help from a lawyer who specialises in labour laws to represent your case with EPFO.

Ans: Hello;

You may update your service record through your current employer based on documentary proofs to substantiate your claim.

If the employer doesn't co-operate or this doesn't work you may raise grievance at EPFiGMS portal.

Best wishes;
