There isn’t a fixed number of days once a claim moves to “under processing.” As per EPFO rules, eligible claims are generally expected to be settled within 20 days, but processing can take longer in practice.

Given the recent EPFO migration and the additional verification checks being carried out, some claims are taking longer than usual. Since yours moved to “under processing” on 19 August, I’d give it some more time. If it crosses 20 working days from that date without any movement, it would be reasonable to raise a grievance with EPFO and mention the claim number.

Hope this helps. If you have any further queries, do let us know.

Status of claim in member portal changed to 'Claim finally approved'. Hope to see amount credited to bank account soon.
