My father recently went to the PF Office to claim his account which he worked on from 1980 to 1988. The section officer said that his account has been claimed, but another officer mentioned that a part of the amount has been withdrawn. My father swears that he has not transferred or claimed his amount till now. Can anyone help me on how to proceed further.

Hi Antony,
First, your father needs to speak to your local EPF commissioner and get the statement. Later, he is supposed to check with the employers he has worked with for this. Additionally, your father can check the status of the EPF fund online. If your father still encounters the same problem where your EPF fund has been claimed, he can then take legal action. I will provide you with more information on this later. Before that, I want you to ask your father to follow the steps I suggested above.

Dear Anil Sir,
The status of EPF Online - "Your account has been marked as an inoperative account. For details, please contact the respective EPF Office."
His employers have long closed the Tannery/Establishment. I will ask my father to speak to the local EPF Commissioner and get back to you, Sir.
Thank you for your timely help.

Dear Antony,
Please do not just visit the EPO and talk to the Commissioner. You can lodge a written complaint with material evidence copies and then get the office acknowledgment, which will help you to proceed further in this regard. You can also use the link below to lodge a complaint:

Dear Sir,
I would like to seek your advice on a subject issue. My father was a state government employee and retired in 2009. He received his PF amount in his bank account. However, my elder brother somehow persuaded him to hand over the money and invested it without informing my mother. Now, she is left without any financial support and is facing difficulties.
Is there any legal recourse my mother can take against my brother for this action? Can she claim the money in her name through any available means?
Thank you for your assistance.

There is no definitive answer to your query. It depends, is your father alive? How did he give the money? Whether it was a joint account, did he approve, or was it without approval? What evidence do you have, etc.? You will have to sit with a lawyer and figure out how strong a ground you have against your brother, if at all. In any case, a case filed will have to be under civil law, unless you are able to show criminal breach of trust or a direct fraud. The case will go on for years, so I don't have much hope for your mother for immediate relief.
In any case, if you give all details of the circumstances, a lawyer will be able to tell you where you stand. Remember, to work out how much lawyer's fees and other costs will be in the case against what you can recover.

Hi Antony, This seems to be a serious issue with your father's EPF account. This could be due to an error by the employer while allocating the EPF numbers to the members. Your father should register a written complaint at the local EPF office with the necessary EPF receipts enclosed and his bank account proof attached (just to indicate that no EPF claim has been withdrawn). Moreover, interact with the company HR via email so that his responses can be traced by you.

It is necessary to create documentary evidence by corresponding with the local PF office, Regional PF Commissioner's office, as well as with the employer(s) as the case may be. If your matter gets settled, well and good. If not, you can file a complaint against the PF Commissioner in the Provident Fund Tribunal.
