Here we will know how to fill EPF grievance registration form and how much time EPFO will take to resolve the issues.
What is EPF Grievance Portal
EPF grievance portal is a platform created by employee provident fund organization which allows EPF members and employers to register their complaints. The best part of registering a complaint at EPF grievance portal is, when you register a complaint here then it will reach to your regional EPF office where your complete EPF data is present. So it becomes easier for the EPF officer to solve your problem.

Whoever wrote that code for OTP generation has done it very badly. Pathetic that they can send an OTP properly. Such is the state of websites serving public and we are dreaming of a digital India when our developers and website owners are unable to address basics issues.
i’M NOT RECEIVING OTP TO MY REGISTERED MOBILE NUMBER. NOT SURE IF THE PROBLEM IS WITH EPFO OR WITH MY NUMBER.

I am trying to enter OTP to raise a complaint but the otp is showing invalid every time i am trying..
I want to change name in my EPF account .In Basic detail updating I am not able to upload my name document(as Upload option not shown),
Also want to Register in Grievance but in OTP Step – when I am putting OTP it shows invalid OTP..
What should I do NOW…
I have raised a Grievance vide ref no BANNP/E/2020/14508 on 066/07/2020.
The issue is my ex employer is holding my PF in their trust and is not allowing me to withdraw my PF money despite of furnishing all relevant documents . The reason cited by them is I have not submitted Form 16 for FY 2019-20 ( which I dont have as the company has not mailed me till date). My last date of leaving the organisation was Jan 2020 and since then they have not provided the Form 16 by mail or courier. In place of that I have provided Form 26AS which I could download for Income tax website. The harassment by the company is continuing ever since I have left the organisation even after dutifully serving the notice period. I have been formally issued Relieving letter also in the month of Feb 2020. Please help me in punishing these fraudsters.
