Note: Withdrawal of PF on switching jobs without remaining unemployed for two months is against PF Withdrawal rules.


Procedure:

  • Physical Application: Composite Claim Form (Aadhar) / (Non-Aadhar). These forms need to be submitted to jurisdictional EPFO office without the attestation of employer whereas Non-Aadhar form required attestation.  Go to epfindia.gov.in, download section for forms.
  • Online Application Steps: Login UAN Portal, under Claim section, click on 'Proceed for Online Claim' to submit your claim form. (https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in)
Note: Earlier this year, the Provident Fund department had ruled that all claims over Rs. 10 lakh can only be made online. But there were many issues faced by subscribers who were having problems submitting claims online. In light of these difficulties and subscriber hardship, the PF department has relaxed the rules. From this month onwards, subscribers can file their claim through online as well as offline channels.
