FAQs while Uploading Form 15G for PF Withdrawal:

1. Why do I only see the Form 31 option instead of Form 19 when applying for PF withdrawal?

You have to update your Date of Exit on the UAN member portal. Only then will you see the option to submit Form 19. Otherwise, the PF portal considers that you are still employed, so it only shows the PF Advance option.

2. What is the required PDF compression size for Form 15G uploads?

The scanned PDF copy of Form 15G should be less than 1 MB. You can compress it online using sites like lovepdf.com and smallpdf.com.

3. Is it necessary to fill and upload Part 2 of Form 15G?

You don’t need to fill Part 2, but you must upload it. It will be filled by the EPFO officer.

4. How do I verify that my Form 15G was successfully submitted with my claim?

After uploading Form 15G, you will see the file name of your uploaded Form 15G just beside the “Choose File” option.

5. Should I use my current address or my PAN account address when filling out the form?

You can write your current address. It does not need to match your PAN or PF address.

6. Must I fill out Form 15G, or is uploading the blank PDF sufficient?

If you are eligible to submit Form 15G, then you must upload only the filled copy of the Form 15G to avoid claim rejection or TDS deduction.

7. Where can I download Form 15G for PF withdrawal?

You can download Form 15G from the Income Tax India website. Here is the link to download Form 15G.

8. Why can I only see the scanned copy of the cheque but not Form 15G after uploading both?

The option to view the uploaded Form 15G is not available on the UAN member portal, unlike the cheque upload option. However, if you see the file name, it confirms the upload.

9. Will my uploaded Form 15G and cancelled cheque appear on the final acknowledgment receipt?

Yes, you will see all the documents in the acknowledgment receipt.

10. What’s the best way to convert my physical Form 15G into a PDF file and compress it?
