    Hi,
    I am a PF holder with UAN number: 1317053XXX91. I am not able to login to my account even after providing a valid UAN and Password. An error message is showing “Account is Disabled”. And when I try to set a new password, an error prompts “Account is deactivated”.
    ​****(FYI, My UAN and Adhaar are linked).

    I cannot access my account, cannot view my passbook and credits or balance. I am worried because I don’t know whether the amount is credited to my UAN or not as I receive a message of PF credit but the balance is standstill.

    I am providing the screenshot below for you to look over.

    I kindly request you to please look into this matter and I would highly grateful if you could help me or guide me to resolve this issue.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Goutam Bose.

    • You can update your date of exit yourself on UAN member portal, incase if you wrongly updated it, you need to submit PF joint declaration form to your PF office to correct yoru DOE.

  5. Hello,
    My query is regarding PF amount transfer.
    I have followed the PF transfer from previous organization to current employer 7 months back.
    As per UAN Portal it is showing that PF amount has been transferred, however my Passbook is still not showing the transferred amount.

    I have been following with PF Department from last 2 months but not receiving any response. I have also lodged complaint on EPFgIMS portal but all the time they just close my query without any resolution.

    Can anyone please help me

    • It happens when your date of exit is wrongly updated on the UAN portal
      (or) if your employer has not paid PF contributions to your working period (You can check it in your PF passbook.)
      If the date of exit is wrong then you can correct it by submitting PF joint declaration form to your PF office.

  10. Dear Team,

    A company has erroneously deposited PF contributions of another employee into my UAN due to a mix up with an employee with same names. For that, company also have raised request to reverse the PF contributions from my UAN. So, kindly tell me how long it would get to resolve this issue at PF office..? Already it has been a month since the request raised.

  12. All is not well with EPFO dept. When a claim is rejected , all reasons shoild be mentioned to work on. Dept mentioned two reasons for rejection first. When these two reasons are complied and revised claim is submitted, deptt tells further entirely different reasons and rejects the claim again.This is ridiculous. IS EPFO manned by sub standard people ??? Very sorry to comment like this, but never mind bcz thats my frustration level ….If any PF official comes across this message I request that he respond in a sane manner.
    thanx
