Recently, we are registered under the PF Organization.

To make the Provident Fund payment, we visited this site: Epfo (Govt. of India)

I have a few queries regarding this, so kindly clarify the following:

1. Once registered online, what is the detailed procedure for payment?

2. How are the individual PF account numbers created for all employees? And how to send their PF contributions to their respective PF accounts?

3. How to transfer the PF amount to the already existing PF accounts of employees?

4. How can an employee withdraw PF amount?

4.a. Can an employee withdraw PF amount anytime he/she wants to?

4.b. What are the documents to be submitted to the PF Office for withdrawal?

4.c. Can it be done online, or is sending hard copies of the required documents to the PF Office mandatory?

5. Is withdrawing PF amount an employer's responsibility or an employee's?

6. Who is the immediate point of contact if we need any assistance regarding PF related issues or questions? Could you please provide us with their contact details if any?

Please clarify as soon as possible.

Hi,

Abhay here,

Regarding your query about online PF:

1. Once registered online, what is the detailed procedure for payment?

Reply: You have to generate a Challan after submitting the ECR file (Electronic Challan Cum Return). After that, there is no need to submit Forms 5/10/12A, 3A, and 6A to the PF department.

2. How are the individual PF account numbers created for all employees? And how do we send their PF contributions to their respective PF accounts?

Reply: To create individual PF account numbers for each employee, we can use an Excel sheet on a monthly basis. After preparing a CSV and text file with contributions, we can send their PF contributions to their respective PF accounts.

3. How do we transfer the PF amount to the existing PF accounts of employees?

Reply: By creating a CSV and a text file with contributions, we can transfer the PF amount to the existing PF accounts of employees.

4. How can an employee withdraw PF amount?

Reply: After filling out Form 19 for PF & Form 10C for the Pension Scheme, both forms need to be submitted to the PF department.

4.a. Can an employee withdraw PF amount anytime he/she wants to?

Reply: No, an employee can only withdraw the PF amount after 5 years and after 7.5 years, they can withdraw as a loan (advance) for specified reasons like sister's marriage, self-marriage, buying a home, renovating a home, etc.

4.b. What documents need to be submitted to the PF Office for withdrawal?

Reply: Form 19 & 10C along with Form 3A. If the matter is more than 3 years old, an address ID proof of that employee must also be provided.

4.c. Can the process be done online, or is sending hard copies of the required documents to the PF Office mandatory?

Reply: Currently, hard copies need to be sent as the online claim process is still in progress with the PF department.

5. Is withdrawing PF amount the responsibility of the employer or the employee?

Reply: It is the responsibility of both; coordination between them is required.

6. Who is the immediate point of contact for assistance regarding PF-related issues or questions? Could you please provide their contact details if any?

Reply: The reception at your nearest PF office can provide assistance.
