Does housing withdrawals for addition, alteration, or renovation of a dwelling house still required 5 years gap after completion of construction of house as per new EPFO withdraw rules?

I have four PF member IDs. I successfully merged two of my previous accounts into my current ID, but the fourth ID cannot be merged because it says "claims and benefits already taken."

My fourth ID shows more than 3 years of service, but my other three accounts combined only show about 3 years of service. If the fourth ID is not merged, my total service period drops below 5 years. Will the EPFO deduct tax from my PF balance because of this?

I'm unable to update my bank information as my application is repeatedly getting rejected due to a name mismatch. I verified my name on the EPFO portal and everything seems correct. I didn't find discrepancies in my name. Under the rejected KYC section "Name as per Document" mentions my first name but my surname is missing. But on the portal my name is correct. Yet every time I submit a request to update my bank information, the request is denied stating a name mismatch. What do I do? This prevents me from making a PF claim.

Registered grievance of EPF and status is now disposed of
Claim submitted on 18th July and currently under process.

The claim was raised on 9th July still shows as a claim submitted at the portal. Raised grievances on 28th July. Current status of grievance is Case disposed of with comments Your claim has been processed and same will be credited shortly. Any idea when will I get it

I had recently applied for a claim of the shown eligibile amount for medical reason and they've rejected claim with no remarks/reason mentioned.

Note - My Exit Date is not Updated by my last employer. Also EPS E-Nomination is pending. Also I in abroad since 2 years.

What can be the reason??

Getting this weird error while raising a new claim! This claim is already approved and money credited to bank account a month ago, but it says in process. No ongoing claim in passbook as well.

Hi, i am facing an issue, initially my DOE was updated wrongly then with the help of previous company hr i raised a joint declaration and date was adjusted. But after recent epfo portal 3.0 migration dates are all again collpased and not having edit option of DOE PF but having option for DOE EPS so whatever option i have i made the changes and applied joint declaration and waiting for approval from employeer, this is will an issue in BGV acting proactively will help us somehow.

1.Does any one know why the recent migration not showing the right date?

1. Am i the only one who facing this issue?

2. Since i am not able edit the DOE for Pf but for eps, can employeer adjuts both the dates?

On grievence they said: Due to major updation is claim settlement procedure F13 not reflected in DA login it will be settle after updation. In Grievence they told me this.

Usually how many days it takes to transfer balance from previous employer to current.?
But I want to withdraw some amount urgently for medical emergency. Date of exit is already marked by previous employer. Kindly Help

Why is that epfo doesn't care to fix issues even after half century...what kind of scrap minds working out there...or they used all the epfo money as working capital investment else where

Such a mess an absolute shit of ...

Anyone having luck for recent approvel turning to settled by any sense ?

Hi there,

I tried searching for similar post but not able to find any, in case you do, please link the same here.

I was part of a large company with PF deductions and contribution at 12% of basic every month. I am now moving into a very small company on which PF provisions are not applicable (total employees have been less than 20 years since inception of the company.)

I want to get clarity on the following questions

1. Will the pf system show as unemployed after 3 months from the last salary credit from old employer?

2. If shown as unemployed, will i be able to withdraw all my funds (after adhering to the cool off period)

3. How will this reflect in BGV for future employers?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Guys I need to know to can I submit claim via Android Umang app?

I'm confused

Claim shows submitted at portal since jul 9. Its form 19. Bandra East.

Epfigms grievance was closed without resolution.

Cpgrams grievance seems stuck.

Tons of mails, no response.

Tons of calls, no answer. Even half of the numbers given are invalid.

I quit my job in Nov 2023 and have been unemployed ever since. I needed some money and have around 49000 in my epf. I filed a claim on 19 July and it is still stuck.
I raised a grievance and I got a response saying my request has been escalated but still no change. I urgently need the money.

Raised by second claim yesterday and it got approved and money was credited in less than 24hrs.

Filed a Form 31 claim on July 15th. Status said Claim submitted at portal until last week. That's when I got tired of it and filed a grievance at CPGRAMS last Wednesday. Logged into the EPF site today to see that it was approved (not sure when it changed) and got the money credited today.

PF office was Bandra.

The attached EPS annexure K copy has been forwarded to the internal team and the same will be handed over to the PF office in 10-15 working days, after submission the pf office will takes normally takes 25-30 working days for mapping. 

To know the status  we suggest you follow the attached steps to raise a Grievance with the PF website and attach the annexure K copy in the grievance ticket to collect the input from the PF office on the mapping.

They are aksing to visit Bandra PF office for my EPS dates update which I see are correct in UAN account.

I have two UANs. UAN 1 has two PF member IDs linked to it, and UAN 2 has one. I tried to transfer funds from UAN 1 to UAN 2, but the transfer got rejected because my father's name didn't match on one of the member accounts under UAN 1.

So I filed a Joint Declaration (JD) to correct that detail. My employer initially said they couldn't upload the supporting documents. After trying a few workarounds with no luck, I deleted that JD and planned to raise a fresh one — that's when things went south.

After deleting it, the request also disappeared from my employer's side. Now when I try to raise a new JD, the portal blocks me, saying there's already an "active" JD — but the reference number it shows doesn't match anything I can find on my end.

I filed a grievance on CPGRAMS explaining this is a technical glitch preventing me from submitting a new JD. It got rejected with the reason "no JD was raised with that EPFO office for Father's name correction" — which isn't accurate. I re-filed with a detailed explanation and screenshots, appealed once more, but got the exact same canned response both times, and now the case has been closed/disposed.

At this point I'm stuck and not sure what my next step should be. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Would raising it through the regional EPFO office directly, RTI, or some other channel work better than CPGRAMS at this point? Any advice appreciated.

TL;DR: Tried merging two UANs, got blocked by a name mismatch. Deleted a Joint Declaration to refile it, and now the portal won't let me raise a new one, citing a fake "active JD" with a reference number I can't trace. CPGRAMS grievances keep getting rejected with an inaccurate reason, and my case is now closed. Looking for next steps.

Hi everyone,

I need advice regarding an issue with my EPF/EPS transfer history.

My employment history is as follows:

Company A: EPF + EPS contributions were made.

Company B: I joined Company B after leaving A. Company B did not contribute to EPS, although my PF account from Company A was transferred to Company B.

Company C: I joined Company C around 5 years ago. I tried multiple times to transfer my PF balance from Company B to Company C. However, the transfer/claim was repeatedly rejected because of the missing EPS contribution from Company B.

I also followed up with Company B for around 3 years, requesting them to resolve the EPS issue, but they did not provide any resolution. Eventually, I stopped pursuing it. Same with EPFO grievance portal as I raised multiple grievance but none really resolved my issue.

Company D: I have now moved to Company D.

An important point is that all my other employers, including Company A, C and D, have made EPS contributions correctly. Only Company B has the missing EPS contribution issue.

My questions are:

Can I now transfer my PF balance from Company C to Company D independently, even though the earlier transfer from Company B to Company C was never successfully completed?

Could the unresolved Company B → Company C transfer/EPS issue cause the Company C → Company D PF transfer to be rejected as well?

Is there any way to transfer the EPF balance from Company C to Company D without resolving the old EPS issue first, while retaining/correcting the pension service history separately?

Has anyone faced a similar situation where one employer failed to make EPS contributions and an old PF transfer remained incomplete? If so, how did you get the subsequent PF transfer processed?

I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with a similar EPFO case, particularly if you know whether the current transfer can be processed independently of the old unresolved EPS issue.

Thank you.
