Here is some good news for those of you contributing towards provident fund from your salary with Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) of India. Going forward, salaried people would no longer have to go through the tedious and rather long process of knowing the details of their PF account. Every bit of information related to Provident fund that you may want to track would be just a ‘click’ away in the very near future! If you are looking for info on New Pension Scheme (NPS), check out another article on this blog by following this link.
This news is indeed of a great help to about 4.5 crore PF subscribers in India. One this system is online, all the pf accounts across the country would be made available online. I have gone through a helluva process of getting my PF account details transferred from my previous employers to current one. After all possible kind of interactions with various levels of authorities, till date I have no clue on what is the status of my account transfer. Hope this new system solves all such painful issues associated with individual pf accounts.
The facility is expected to be fully functional from December this year, according to Labour Ministry sources as quoted by one of the prominent news papers recently. Due to the sheer size of the number of accounts, it wouldn’t be an easy task for the government organizations to solve this in a short span of time. Also the paper quoted – “EPFO officials revealed that computerization of its operation took them eight years. Since April, a test run of the facility has been implemented.” It is understandable that people rely a lot on PF to save some Income tax as well as a compulsory investment mode for salaried class people.
In the first phase of implementation after opening it for subscribers online, account balance will be made available. In the latter part of the project, which might roll over to sometime in 2010, the subscribers would be able to view their contribution, interest accrued, status of application for advances, loans and a host of other activities. Also, as a matter of fact PF department had collected forms from many of us to provide with what they call as SSN (Social Security Number) – haven’t heard any news on that number, but off late we are all talking about NUIA (National Unique Identification Authority). Not sure how many more such unique numbers are awaiting in the store! I would be very happy the day all my information is made available with ease in accessing without any delays and hierarchies 🙂

Hello Mohan,
I have transferred my PF from IBM Daksh with the PF Account# GN/GGN/—/— in to the IBM India with the PF Account# PY/KRP/—-/— I have also received a confirmation message in June/July 2014 stating that the amount has been transferred.
However when i check my UAN A/C# —–, the transferred amount is not yet reflecting in my passbook. Now i am quite worried about my transferred amount, i am not sure where it was sent to.
I have also contacted IBM India Regional EPF office in Karnataka, where they are requesting for any payment details like EFT # or the exact amount which was transferred so that they can track it.
I am not sure where i need to go and ask for the payment details or how do i track my transferred amout.
Please suggest me as i am really helpless at this point of time.
Regards

Indumathi says
One of my very old employers PF account number is unrecognized in UAN portal. How do i go about getting it corrected?
Mohan says
Hi Indumathi – this usually happens for old accounts which has gone through various naming convention changes. For example for one of my first employer, the PF account number was starting with KN/BN/XXXXX/XX however today on the portal this shows up as BG/BNG/XXXXX/XX. More so this happens when a city has multiple PF service branches. In Bangalore we have multiple offices in ‘Peenya’, KRPuram’, Bommasandra, Mysore Road apart from ‘Bangalore’ city branch itself and more in similar ways, Hence for each of these branches the starting code changes. Select the city and branch appropriately on the link previous PF accounts page of UAN portal without worrying about the number then and now.
Amit says
Very unfortunate that Rs. 32,000 cr. lying unclaimed in public accounts as per PF commissioner. This was quoted in Hindu news paper for AP region. Given so much of pain that people are going through to withdraw or transfer the amounts to their new accounts, how do the rightful people get their money in to their accounts back? The whole system needs a complete revamp and hope the new Universal Account Numbers (UAN) for PF solves all of this. Do you have any details on UAN?
Mohan says
Hi Amit, UAN is being rolled out in phased manner. This has been shared with employers, once you have it from them you can associate all previous PF accounts to this number. Also, this enables you for faster and quick settlement/transfer in future. Thanks for the pointer, i will publish a detailed article on UAN soon.
Meghana Nair says
How long does it take for either withdrawal of PF or for transfer from one employer to another?
Mohan says
Meghana – when i changed companies a couple of years back, it took about 3 weeks to transfer the PF balance from previous employer to new employer after initiating the transfer process. I have not tried withdrawal, so i cannot comment on it.

Recently I changed my employer and transferred the balance from old PF account to new one successfully. However, When I try to find the balance in my new account using my same mobile, it says too many accounts are being used on this mobile for knowing the balance and then it errors out. Any idea on how to go about checking new balance in my current PF account?

I want to know that if an employee has worked for 12 years in an organization and resigned the job and has claimed for PF. The employee has got the pf amount and he is eligible for the pension scheme also. Now after 8 months the employee wants to join the same organization. Can the Employer deduct his PF in a new a/c number?
