Accepted by Employer Pending at Field Office: What Does It Mean?

EPF members who have recently applied for modification or correction of basic details at UAN member portal can find this status that accepted by employer pending at field office. The reason for getting this message is your basic details modification request was accepted by your employer, but it is pending at PF field office. Once it is approved by the EPF field officer then the details of EPF members will be corrected. The second case is during PF transfer.

While applying for PF transfer we need to choose either previous employer or present employer to approve it. So first your employer will approve your PF transfer request, after that your PF transfer request has to be approved by your PF office. In that case, also you will find this message.

    • Yes, it transfers, but it doesn’t reflect in your PF passbook. But when you withdraw it before 10 yrs then you will get that amount as well.

    • You don’t need to upload PAN, but you have to link your PAN number with your UAN, after that your employer has to approve it in their employer PF portal.
      After approval, you can utilize PF online services.

  5. If you are transferring your PF then you cannot withdraw your previous pension amount, only the service period will transfer. But you can withdraw PF without any problem.
    If your claim status is showing pending at field office then it may 7-10 days for approval, after approval your previous PF amount will transfer to your present PF account, you don’t need to do anything.
