Helpdesk for Unclaimed EPF Account

Employee’s Provident Fund (EPF) has always proved to be a nightmare for most employees across the country. Simply the thought of having to go through so many legal procedures and complicated venues often causes people to give up on the idea from the very beginning. However, the Indian Government has actively opted to try and ease the pain of the working-class, by allowing them to access their PF accounts with lesser problems. By the latest estimates, inactive PF accounts currently hold close to 27,000 crore rupees lying around. Contrast this with the common worker, many of whom suffer from a limitation of funds when it comes to their own expenses.

The EPFO or the Employee’s Provident Fund Organization has now set up a helpline in order to ease the access of people to their own money. Many people have actually given up on their own provident funds, simply resigning themselves to the fact that they have to pay a part of their salary to it and then not getting to access it later on when it is required. PF earns interest without tax and is completely without risk, and gives returns after being adjusted for inflation. The help desk provides all the information that can be required, and also helps in the tracking of old accounts. It is quite common that since people give up on their accounts, they lose track of the number and everything in between. Simply place a call to the helpdesk, and ask all the questions that need answering.

For those who have no idea about their accounts anymore at all, they can also wish to visit the EPF website, which has all the tools required to track down your inactive account. The very first page asks for some basic details, which allows the organization to track down the employer whose PF account you originally held. Once it has been located, they get in touch almost instantaneously, and then help you relocate the funds. Options include transferring the money to a new PF account of the current employers, or withdraw it in your own name. This is extremely helpful, since people might just be unemployed or in between jobs. For the withdrawal of the funds, Form 19 is available for the working people. Simply get your hands on the form, and then fill it up before submitting it to the previous employer whose PF account holds the amount accumulated in your name. After that, it’s simply a matter of another month before the money is made accessible to you.

Finally, people might think it’s simple to let the money accumulate more interest, but the new legislation now terminates inactive accounts if left for over 3 years. This provides the Government with the money instead. In order to prevent such issues, simply head over to the help desk, get all the information required, and get the process of obtaining access to your money underway. The Government has provided all the tools required, and it is up to you to make use of them.

    Hi
    I have an in-operative PF account which is not linked to UAN number. Could you please guide me on how can I transfer the fund from this in-operative account to my current UAN account.

    I have raised this query on “EPFiGMS (Register your Grievance)” portal. However, the query is not answered properly by concerned EPFO office and every time they have shared the ledger with me.

    I have transferred my previous PF account no. – WB/DGP/42758/996 to my present PF account no. – WB/SLG/31602/1020. The EPF amount has been transferred but the Pension fund amount is reflecting as zero in the passbook. Kindly let me know why is it so.

    The claim status that I see is “Your claim has been settled and credited to new account”
    Kindly let me know what needs to be done. When it says “Your claim has been settled and credited to new account”, does it not mean that my old PF amount has been credited to my current PF account?

      Yes, it means your old PF amount has been transferred to your current PF account but it takes some time to show in e-passbook.
