If your PF claim status shows payment under process then it means your application is being verified by the EPFO, after verification, you will receive a message from EPFO that your claim has been settled and payment sent via NEFT. Remember the maximum time set by EPFO fo claim settlement is 20 days, so in any one of these 20 days, you will get your PF amount.
Once you receive this message then within 1 or 2 days your PF amount will be credited into your bank account.
EPF claim status under process meaning
The meaning of EPF claim status under process is your claim is under review at PF office i.e your PF claim request received to your PF office and it is under process by EPF officers.
After checking the claim request EPFO will send your PF money to your bank account through NEFT (National Electronic Fund Transfer).
EPF members who apply for full PF, PF advance, and PF transfer by using forms like form19, 10C, 31, and transfer form 13 will see this message in their PF claim status.
There are a total of three types of messages you will be seen in the PF claim status website they are 1. PF claim status under process 2. claim settled and payment sent via NEFT and 3. claim is rejected (if is there any problem in your PF claim otherwise your claim will be approved.)
When EPFO makes payment through NEFT then you will see the below message in your PF claim status.

PF claim status under process for form 19 & 10C
We use form 19 to claim PF contributions of employee and employer (12% + 3.67%) and form 10c to claim pension amount (8.33%). It is common to see PF claim status is under process for forms like 19 and 10C. If everything is fine and bank account details are correct then soon your PF amount will credit into your bank account without any problem.
PF claim status under process for form 31
Form 31 is PF advance claim form, EPF members can get some amount as PF advance while working in the job by using this form. The maximum time to settle PF claims is 20 days. If you applied for PF advance with reasons like the outbreak of pandemic COVID 19 or illness then within 1 or 2 weeks your PF claim status will settle and you will receive the advance amount in your bank account.
PF transfer claim status under process
Unlike PF withdrawal request, for PF transfer settlements you need your present or previous employer attestation. So first your PF transfer request will go to your previous employer or present employer-based on our choice while applying for PF transfer.
After their approval only your transfer request will be sent to your regional PF office. In the meantime, your claim status will be seen as pending at the employer for attestation and pending at filed office respectively.

Hi,
I submitted an online advance withdrawal claim on 23 August and my PF was settled and NEFT done on 27 August. However, they only credited the Employee PF Share which was my share with the new company that I started working with in October 2017.
They did not credit my PF Share of the other organisation that I was working with before October 2017 (total Employee Share of Rs. 99K).
Please suggest what to do in this case. Should I submit another online claim or fill up a grievance form.
Regards
Amit

My Bank Account Number is entered as wrongly. My PF Amount received but returned. Now, i Changed my Bank Account Number and updated. what is the procedure to claim my PF money
Hi Vijayalakshmi S,
If your employer approves your new bank account details then again claim your PF amount online (Or) visit your PF office and take a PF reauthorization letter from them and write correct bank account details on that and submit it to them along with a cancelled cheque.
