HOW TO DRAW (CLAIM) YOUR PF ONLINE USING (UAN)
Employee Provident Fund is a scheme instated by the government, as per the Employee Provident Fund Act of 1952, wherein you and your employer contribute a specific amount each month. Since money is invested on a monthly basis, it helps you build a corpus for your post-retirement life. While your PF account will change every time, you start working at a new organisation, your consolidated EPF account, identified by your Universal Account Number (UAN) will not change. This 12-digit UAN is extremely useful, and is all you need to check your PF details. If you want to know your EPF balance or if you want to check contributions made by your employer, you can do so, through the EPFO e-SEWA portal, mobile app and SMS by logging in with your UAN
In case of emergencies such as hospitalisation, wedding or education of your child, home renovation and repairs, you may need quick access to these funds. Instead of taking a loan, you can withdraw funds from your PF in full or in part. Just remember that to initiate the PF withdrawal process you will have to keep your Universal Account Number (UAN) handy.
In order to CLAIM your PF amount using EPFO portal, you will need to ensure the following:
UAN must be activated
Aadhar number must be linked and verified with UAN
The bank account where you want to receive the amount, must be the same as the bank account registered with your Aadhaar.
In case of any changes or modifications, you can complete the eKYC process, and update your details before you submit a claim.
