Cessation means short service, whenever an employee leaves his job due to resignation or absconding then he can select this option to update date of exit (DOE) in the EPF portal. Cessation is the widely used option to update the date of exit reason in EPF.
Once the date of exit is updated with the reason of Cessation (Short Service) then EPF members can withdraw their full PF amount after 2 months from the date of exit.
What is Duration of Cessation (Short Service) in PF
There is no duration limit to update exit reasons with the reason cessation or short service. Even the employee works for one day still he can update his date of exit with a reason for cessation.
But if the total service of the emmployee is below 6 months then he can withdraw only PF amount not pension amount. To withdraw pension amount employees must have minimum 6 months service.
Is Cessation and Termination are Same
As per meaning they are not same, but still when an employer terminates an employee then they can use this option to update their date of exit.
Except in case of retirement or supernnuation or permanent disablement or death employee in remaining cases the reason of exit should be cessation (short service)
How to withdraw PF After Cessation
After 2 months from the date of exit the EPF members can withdraw their PF amount online at UAN member portal.
To withdraw their PF amount they need to submit a form called form 19 and to withdraw their pension contributions they need to submit a form called form 10C.
After submitting these forms online at UAN member portal they will get their PF amount into their bank account with in 20 days.
In Manage tab, entered exit date in field and go apply for 10C online form same time, but its showed “TOTAL SERVICE IS GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 9.5 YEAR OR SERVICE LENGTH IS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS” in RED color text…. what is these?
my last working date in Sept 20, But showed only April 2020 default, i can’t edit in date field so i filled April 20 last date.
can i wait for some days to apply again 10c. please reply. Thank you
Maybe your service is less than 6 months, consider the time period between your date of joining and date of leaving on the UAN member portal.
You submit form 10c minimum of 6 months service is required, otherwise, you cannot withdraw it, but you can transfer it later when you join a new job.
thanks for reply,
My joint date is 02/01/2009, Exist date is as mentioned default in portal 30/4/2020. my Actual exist date is 12/9/2020. Already i mentioned previous thread “I can’t edit exist date”. So i entered the default date in portal.
i had applied for Form 10C, But complete amount was not credited to my account. Reason for leaving job was Short Service.
Total Pension contribution was around 34000 and i received only 6500.
Do you have multiple PF acocunts? if yes then you have to transfer your PF and pension to your latest PF account.
If you don’t have multiple PF accounts then register a complaint on the EPF grievance portal website, they will give an exact reason why less pension was credited.
yes i worked in three different organization, please tell me how to transfer this amount to latest pf account??
You have to transfer them one by one to your latest PF account i.e 1→3 & 2→3.

Yes, you can withdraw your full PF and pension after 2 months from your last working date, submit forms 19 and 10C on the UAN member portal for PF and pension respectively.
The reason for exit is “Cessation”.
What about the pending interest? The government has not credited interest for 2020-2021.
It will credit soon, maybe in the next 1 or 2 months.

To change the date of exit reason you need to write a request letter to your PF office, and the request letter should be signed by your employer with their stamp.
There is no online system to correct the date of exit reason.

You have to transfer all your previous PF amounts to your latest PF account, after transfer you can able to submit form 10D.
Can we change reason of exit from short service to Death.

You cannot do that online, you have to write a request letter to the concerned EPF regional office.

Reason for leaving: Cessation(Short service)
You have to submit form 15G.

Now the total time till now is crossed 5 years.. Can I withdraw total amount including pension without submitting 15g? For not deducting TDS?
You shouldn’t consider the unemployment period, only the PF contribution period should be considered.
As per your details, your service is below 5 yrs, and if your PF amount is above 50K then you have to submit Form 15G.
I want withdraw my PF & PENSION amount,
but there is showing option.
1)PF AMOUNT WITHDRAW .
2)PENSION AMOUNT WITHDREW.
3)ADV. PF AMOUNT.
BUT MY CONSERN I RESIGN COMPANY BACK ONE YEAR , I APPLY BUT SO MANY TIME REJECTED.
EMPLOYER UPDATE SHORT SERVICE.
You have to submit form 19 and 10C to withdraw full PF and pension amounts. Short service is the right reason.
You can find the reason for claim rejection in PF claim status portal, solve that problem and reapply again.

As per your details, you are eligible to withdraw the pension amount, but I don’t know why it was rejected. So better raise a complaint on the EPF grievance portal website, so that you will know the exact reason for rejection.
i have resigned from job. and currently unemployed. i have withdrawn 50% pf money by filing the form 19 & 10C on october 2020. and now i want to again withdraw my rest of 50% pf. for that i have filed form 19& 10C twice i.e. in november 2020 and in march 2021 but both the times my application got rejected(stating reason” Claim Rejected CLAIM ALREADY SETTLED”)
so my question is that how can i withdraw my rest pf money ????? and what is the procedure and which forms i need to fill?????
If you have submitted forms 19 and 10C then it means you have withdrawn your full PF amount, so pls check your PF passbook.
For PF advance you need to submit form 31.

Hi I want to know about tds in my case I was working from jan 2017 to 2020 march in my case tds will deduct or not because I have claimed without 15g because my salary and pf total amount 5 lacs and something so I was confused regarding 15 g please reply
If without any reason company has uploded an employee short cessation data with epfo portal submitted can a employee take legal action for that company..
When an employee resigns or absconds in both cases the employer will update the reason for exit as cessation.
I think it is not a problem.
During the lockdown interstate transportation has been stopped so I couldn’t able to go to job ,but company without in they sent a mail to put resignation so I have resigned sir ,
I have been made to resign due to ill health, in March 2019. But my employer has entered “CESSATION (SHORT SERVICE) – Any Other Reason” as the reason for my exit. I’ve worked in this company for April 2015 to March 2019 (4 years). I am still jobless. I have applied for my PF claim online with form 15G and PAN. Will there be a TDS on my PF claim. Please let me know
Nothing to worry, no TDS will deduct from your claim.
Dear Sir

It is showing Short Service where I worked only 6 days for part time but his Entry is reflecting in Portal
Portal is showing “Short Service” Due to which I am not able to process Family Pension
Plz guide
If you have left your job after 58 years of your age then it will be considered as superannuation.
If you left your job before 58 years of your age, then it will be treated as cessation(short service) but still, you are eligible for pension after 58 of your age.
If you are facing any problem in claiming pension then raise a complaint on the EPF grievance portal website.
