This is a rare error that EPF members are getting nowadays when their EPF advance withdrawal claim gets rejected. If you have submitted PF advance withdrawal form 31 then you need to submit certificate A/B/C/D/E/F depending upon the reason for PF advance withdrawal. If you get this reason for general PF withdrawal claims like form 19 and 10C then just ignore this error, it is a system error from EPFO side.

Note: If you are withdrawing PF advance online at the UAN member portal or if you are using EPF composite claim forms like Aadhar or Non-Aadhar, then you don’t need to submit any of this forms.
Depending on the reason for the PF loan you need to fill anyone certificate from certificates ABCDEF. The signature of the employer with an official seal is required on this form. Here are the details of the required form for each PF loan reason.
| Certificate A | During closure or lockout of factory |
| Certificate B | Not receiving wages for 2 months |
| Certificate C | Illness of member of the family member |
| Certificate D | Property damage due to natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, and riots. |
| Certificate E | No work due to power cut |
| Certificate F | Purchasing equipment for physically handicapped persons |

So if your claim is rejected due to the message that certificate a b c d e f not enclosed signed pdf then download the above forms and take your employer signature against the reason of PF withdrawal and submit it to your regional EPF office.

Please sir Help me
If you are have not applied for PF advance for house-related reasons, then the above reasons are not related to your claim, maybe they are default messages.

hi guys,
couple of weeks ago, even i went to PF office, Bangalore and applied for full settlement claim.
to the bad, my claim got rejected for the same reason as yours “Certificate A/B/C/D/E/F not Enclosed / Signed ”
No one in the office told me about this and also i/m not sure how to get this done as i have resigned my job 2 years ago and now i am pursuing my higher studies. Not employed anymore.
If anyone could help on this, please do it.
e-mail – joshprasath@gmail.com
hi dear
i applied pf recently but he is rejected. reason is 1)member is advisedto apply for pf withdrawal ,if resigned,2)certificate a/b/c/d/e/f not enclosed/signed.
pls give me reply anyone.
Hi,
I have resigned from my job 2 years back and left country for higher studies, i have applied for PF transfer (Form 19) and it was rejected with reason ” Your Claim has been rejected due to : 1) SUBMIT FORM 13 EFFECT TRANSFER FROM ******** TO PRESENT ACCOUNT AFTER MAKING FINAL SE 2) CERTIFICATE A/B/C/D/E/F NOT ENCLOSED / SIGNED ”
I don’t understand, it was my 1st job and worked there for about 11 months and now working since then.
and one more question, my employer is not updating my DOJ EPS even after hundreds or requests and mail. that’s the reason i cannot apply to withdraw my full PF and Pension amount. so i had to apply for PF transfer (Form 13 only). What can be done in that case?
Thanks in Adavance!
Dear Sir,
there is change in director of the company and we want to update the changes in epfo so what documents should be attached after updating in form 5a ?
kindly guide.
Thanks & Regards
Hi,
Useful information.
But I have a question. Recently I applied for PF withdrawal (Form 19) which was rejected with reason “certificate a/b/c/d/e/f not enclosed / signed”.
In such case what should I do?
Kindly suggest
Hi Anjani Ch,
The error is for form 31, better raise a grievance at PF portal they will solve your problem.
Same problem is here. It’s solution is before complete form a/b/c/d/e/f any one fill and after apply for PF
Hi Anjani,
Same here. I was reading online so many people telling Certificate a/b/c/d/e/f not needed when you apply for form 19 full settlement. Even there is no option to upload this document online. Did you get any information on it?
Thanks,
Om
Hi Om, same issue for me as well, I have applied for pf last month and after 20 days they simply rejected my claim by stating abcd certificate not enclosed where as on EPFO website there is no such option to enclose certificate. I will request you to please drop a email or message me once you get any information about this. I was searching for this answer from last 1 month
Even my employer also do know what is happening. Worst part is my EPFO office is in Bangalore and I am living in Mumbai so visiting of office is very difficult for me. Your reply will be highly appreciated. sunilpatekar1984@gmail.com
Hi , I too have the same issue and even my EPFO office is in Bangalore and no option to upload the certificate in UAN portal. Please let me know if there is an workaround for this. Email – avinashbls09@gmail.com
