PF claim status
Contents
Employees Provident Fund is basically a social security and savings scheme for an employee in India. Employers who are engaged in certain Industries and engaging 20 or more employees are required to enroll all employee under PF on the Unified Portal and provide UAN. This article is based on the procedure for viewing PF claim status through various methods like EPF website, UMANG App, missed call and SMS.
Any employee can check his PF claim status after making an application for PF withdrawal. In case, if an employee is having UAN then the PF claim must be made in PF claim form 11. It does not require the employer’s attestation and can be submitted online through the unified portal.
In case, an employee is not having UAN can apply for PF claim using PF claim form 19. It must be attested by the employer and employee and submitted at the nearest EPFO office.
To check PF claim status online, all you need to access the PF claim check website and follow the steps provided below:
STEP 1.
First of all, submit the employees UAN. Employees who have made PF contributions after 2014 will receive UAN. Whereas the employees who had contributed to EPF before 2014 can apply for a UAN number from the EPF department.
STEP 2.
Now, select the Member ID pertaining to the claim. Employers will issue the member ID.
STEP 3.
In the last page, the PF claim status will be displayed.
There are several ways of checking PF claim status. You can do it by downloading the UMANG App also. It provides seamless integration of government services like Employees Provident Fund, Aadhaar, and Digilocker. Not only this but it is available in both Android and iOS format.
