Sir,
I have submitted Form 10C (withdrawal benefit) vide claim ID KRTVM150600004599 against my PF account number KRTVM00129430000000004 and Form 19 vide claim ID KRTVM150600004600 in the Trivandrum office through my employer. Now, I am in receipt of an intimation from that office that my said claims are rejected due to the lack of attested copies of the Bank Account passbook and PAN card. I have provided my passbook details in the application. However, I will be able to submit the attested copy of my passbook, but I do not have my PAN card yet. Is there any alternative solution to get the claims cleared without a PAN card? I request your kind advice for an alternate solution to avoid delays in the settlement.
Thanking You, Yours faithfully, Geethakumari.

Dear Geethakumari,
If the service in EPF is below 5 years and the total benefit is above Rs. 30,000, you are liable to pay Income Tax. That is why a PAN card is required. Hence, there is no alternative other than applying for a PAN card. In my experience, it will take just 2 weeks to get a PAN card (my wife applied through a Tax consultant).
