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.

    • In case the transfer claim gets rejected, then you have to correct the wrong date of exit by submitting PF joint declaration form.
      So better wait until you get the final status.

    • It will take 7- 20 days, first, your employer has to approve your request in their employer’s PF portal, they can do this immediately.
      After that, your request will be sent to your PF office for final approval.

  16. Hi,
    My previous employer transferring to current employer is under process(status is pending at field office ) at this time is it possible to withdraw my pf advance amount or not? and my previous employer was trust.

    • You can withdraw the PF advance from your present employer.
      After completion of the transfer process, you can withdraw your remaining PF amount from both companies.
