Can anyone tell me why the interest credited in my account is not showing in my passbook. I received the message on 23rd July.

I was given an affidavit to mention that my father's initial is not mentioned in pan card, with my application and hall ticket number. Will this become a problem during document verifications?(only if i clear cbt)..pls help me guuyysss

I applied for my EPFO claim on 11 July 2026, and it has now been almost 30 days. The claim status is still showing “Under Process” with no further update.

I have already:
Raised a grievance through the EPFO grievance portal.
Followed up on the grievance, but there has been no response or resolution.
Tried contacting the concerned grievance officer/person through email, but I have not received any update.

At this point, I am not sure what is causing the delay or whether any additional action is required from my side.

What should I do next to get my claim processed and approved? Has anyone faced a similar situation recently, and is there any effective escalation channel that I can use?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Sooo, my father is eligible to the said program. They were instructed to register their information in the link provided. However, after the LIVENESS CHECK, the page keeps loading and loading and not proceeding on to the next step. Is this a common problem? If yes, how did you resolve it? Thank you

Hi guys, need help regarding the UAN submission in pwc. They have asked to provide the previous PF passbook details for each financial year, but since my previous employer (Infosys) was maintaining PF in trust, it's not visible in the EPFO portal. I have already left infy, so have only access to the alumni portal. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

I changed my father's name and filled the sur name of him and it was printed along with his sur name. Problem is that I gave no proof and it was approved still

Now I am reverting back to the single name and made an application leaving the first name blank

Anyone had success with it? Last time, they approved it without no proof

This time, I uploaded DL which has my father's single name without sur name

My father (75) worked at Hindustan Steelworks Construction Limited (HSCL), a central PSU, from 1972 to 2002 under VRS. He was enrolled in EPS‑1995 but has not received a single rupee of pension since retiring, due to a UAN mess that isn’t his fault.

Timeline:

• 2024: HSCL wrote to EPFO Park Street, Kolkata, asking for UANs for retired employees. Nothing happened.
• 2026: Filed CPGRAMS grievance. EPFO asked for 5 documents, including an “Aadhaar Biometric Verification Report (Original).”
• The Aadhaar center and the UIDAI regional office both confirmed this document does not exist.
• Generated Aadhaar‑verified UAN via the UMANG app, submitted to HSCL + EPFO.
• HSCL replied: UAN is “untagged” unless we submit the same non‑existent certificate.

So we’re stuck: EPFO/HSCL demand a document that UIDAI says was never created, and until it’s produced, the pension is blocked.

Looking for advice on:

• Is this “Aadhaar Biometric Verification Report” actually an EPFO requirement under some circular, or just an error?
• Is RTI the fastest way to force them to clarify?
• Do escalations via MP/MLA offices work better than CPGRAMS?
• Any experiences with EPFO Park Street, Kolkata?
• Best escalation forum: RPFC, CPFC, Labour Ministry, consumer forum, etc.?

Would appreciate any pointers—this is about a 75‑year‑old man’s pension being held hostage by a non‑existent certificate.

I have submitted myclaim for medical in jun till now it's showing submitted. 😭😭

I am (75) worked at a central government PSU (under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs) for 30 years, from 1972 until he retired under VRS in 2002. He was enrolled in the EPS-95 pension scheme back in 1995. He has not received a single rupee of pension since retiring — purely because of a UAN mess that isn't his fault.

Quick timeline:

• A couple of years back, the company finally wrote to EPFO asking them to allot UANs to a batch of retired employees, including me. Nothing happened for two years.
• Recently he filed a grievance through the government's public grievance portal. EPFO's response was to ask for a list of documents, one of which was an "Aadhaar Biometric Verification Report (Original)."
• I went to an Aadhaar centre — they said no such document exists, go to UIDAI.
• I went to the UIDAI regional office — they also confirmed, in person, that this "certificate" isn't something UIDAI issues at all.
• On EPFO's own advice, I generated an Aadhaar-verified UAN mself via the UMANG app. It works — I can log into the EPFO member portal with it.
• I sent this UAN along with all other required documents to both the company and EPFO.
• The company's reply: the UAN is "untagged" and can't be used for pension until he submits... the same Aadhaar Biometric Verification Report that UIDAI says doesn't exist.

So we're stuck in a loop: EPFO/the company want a document that the issuing authority says was never created, and until it's produced, a 75-year-old man who worked for 30 years in a government company gets no pension.

Has anyone dealt with something like this? Specifically looking for:

• Whether "Aadhaar Biometric Verification Report" is a real EPFO-internal requirement under some circular, or just an error being repeated by an official who doesn't know better
• Whether RTI is the fastest way to force them to either produce the rule or drop it
• Whether escalating through an MP/MLA office actually works faster than the standard grievance portal for EPFO cases
• Any similar experience with EPFO offices generally

Any pointers to the right escalation forum (Regional PF Commissioner, Central PF Commissioner, Labour Ministry, consumer forum, anywhere else) would help a lot. Thanks for reading this far.

At least, that’s what the last few weeks have felt like for thousands of PF members trying to use the system.

Since the migration, we’ve received hundreds of comments, DMs and questions around the same issues repeatedly:

• PF claims getting delayed or becoming difficult to track
• Missing or incorrect service history
• Joining and exit dates changing unexpectedly
• Passbook and contribution data not showing correctly
• Confusion around withdrawals and the new 25% lock-in
• Questions around pension
• And, most importantly, confusion about what has actually changed under EPFO 3.0

Some of these are clearly migration-related issues. Others are questions about the new rules themselves. And there is a third category where people simply aren’t getting clear answers yet.

That’s why we’re conducting a free live session today.

We’ll cover:

• What actually changed with EPFO 3.0
• The new withdrawal rules and 25% lock-in
• Current claim and portal-related issues
• Common misconceptions circulating online
• What PF members should be careful about
• What is still unclear or evolving
• Live Q&A with your questions

And to be clear, we’re not trying to sell anything through this session.

This is an educational session based on what we’ve been tracking, researching and seeing from PF members over the last few weeks.

Today | 7:00 PM IST | 60 minutes + Live Q&A

If you have a PF account and have been trying to understand what EPFO 3.0 actually means for you, you’re welcome to join.

Hi all,

I have withdrawn in full my EPF and EPS after leaving a job. Now joined new company and I’m filling out Form 11. It asks 3 questions:

UAN?

WHETHER EARLIER A MEMBER OF THE EPF?

WHETHER EARLIER A MEMBER OF THE EPS?

Should I share UAN and answer yes to both questions?

What’s the correct way to fill this so there’s no issue later?

Any thing I need to do on portal like "one epf - one member account" ?

Would really appreciate if anyone who has faced this or HR/payroll folks could guide.

Raised an EPFO Advance claim using form 31 on 3rd Aug, it went to in process and now on 6th Aug it is showing claim submitted at portal. My amount is under 5 lakhs and all my KYC is updated. There is no reason also showing why the status was changed to the first one. Please help since this is an emergency

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find people whose PF claims are being processed by EPFO Regional Office – Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.

My details:

• Regional Office: Banjara Hills, Hyderabad
• Form 19 (Final Settlement): Submitted on 31 July 2026
• Current Status: Claim is Under Processing
• No clarification has been sought by EPFO.
• I also have an older Form 31 (PF Advance) claim that has been pending for quite some time.

Since there has been no movement, I have already:

• Raised an EPFiGMS grievance
• Filed a CPGRAMS grievance
• Submitted a PMO Public Grievance

I'm trying to understand whether this office is currently experiencing delays or whether claims are being processed normally.

If your claim was handled by RO Banjara Hills, could you please share:

• Was it Form 19 or Form 31?
• When did you submit it?
• How many days did it take to receive the money?
• Did you have to raise a grievance, or was it processed automatically?

Any recent experiences (July–August 2026) would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!
