Dear All,
I worked for a MNC company from 2009 to 2013. I Submitted my PF account withdrawal request along with form 19 and 10C to my previous employer in Jan, 2014.
Since then I have been following up with them for my PF account settlement. But I have not got my PF amount yet.
Whenever I contact my employer regarding this, they are saying like it is still under process, working with EPF office, delay in EPF office, etc.
In last six month, two times I registered in EPF grievance portal to check the PF withdrawal status. But I got a reply that they didn’t receive any request from my employer regarding my PF account.
It has been almost one year past now, I don’t see any progress in this. Kindly suggest how to proceed further.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Balaji,
When addressing the issue of delay with your employer, who is the front-end representative, it is important to communicate directly. Determine the specific reasons for the delay and inquire about the documentation they have submitted. If they provide irrelevant information, consider contacting the relevant EPF office with the necessary data you possess.
Thank you.

Dear Friend,
Once again, you should go and meet your HR department in person and ask them about the status of your PF withdrawal. If they do not respond favorably, you can submit a written representation to them on the same day, with a copy marked to the PF Inspector in whose jurisdiction your ex-employer company falls. Additionally, provide another copy directly to the concerned RPF for their information. If the issue is not settled despite the above steps after waiting for a reasonable amount of time, you should meet the RPF commissioner directly to resolve the matter. In some organizations, employers do not remit contributions to the PF office, even though they deduct the same from employees' salaries every month.

Hi NijanthanNVRao,
Thank you for your suggestion. I have been following up with one of the finance department personnel, but he is not providing a proper reason why my claim request has not been closed yet.
Six months ago, when I tried to check my PF balance on the EPF portal, I couldn't find my account. However, two months ago, I was able to check the balance on the PF portal. Now, it is also not working, and I am unable to check. I am located in Chennai, but my ex-employer's EPF office is in KR Puram, Bangalore. Is there any other way I can reach out to the EPF office?

Dear Mr. Balaji,
No need to wait for the authentication from the previous employer. If you know your PF account and company code number, just take another withdrawal form, fill it, and get it attested by the branch manager of the bank where your bank account is kept. Alternatively, you can also get it attested by any Gazetted officer. After these formalities, simply send this form to the RPFC office where your PF account is held along with a covering letter stating that your employer is not willing to sign the withdrawal forms. Then, witness the magic! RPFC will dispatch the area inspector to that company, and subsequently, they are obligated to authenticate your form. This is the most straightforward step. You can also submit the form to Chennai, but it may take longer as Chennai RPFC will transfer this form to Bangalore for processing. It is advisable to send the form directly to Bangalore RPFC via Registered Post, addressed to the Regional PF Commissioner. Please be aware that once you dispatch the letter to RPFC, it will become official and legally binding. They are obliged to take the necessary action on it.
All the best.

Can anybody help me? I want to withdraw my PF amount, but as per my knowledge, the company didn't pay PF EMI for the last 10 months. Now that I have left the old company, I want to withdraw. How can this be possible?

Nitin,
If PF deduction is shown on your payslip and the company fails to deposit it in the PF office, it becomes a breach of the law. You can complain to the PF Commissioner's office about this problem by providing full details of the company, PF account number/UAN, etc. The PF office will take necessary action.
