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.

    • While PF transfer process only PF amount will transfer, pension amount will transfer but will not be seen in new PF passbook, but you can withdraw it whenever you leave your present job.
      So once again check your recent company’s PF passbook and still if the amount was not transferred then raise a complaint on the EPF grievance portal, they will solve your problem.

    • Maybe your present employer declined it, they will ask for annexure K from your previous PF account.
      You can get your annexure K on the UAN member portal or by raising a request on the EPF grievance portal. But before that ask your present employer about this issue.
      (Annexure K is a PDF form that consists of your previous company PF details)
