  13. Hello Sir ,

    I applied for EPF and EPS claim on 2nd April 2019 but soon realized that the IFSC code present is incorrect and i am sure amount will not get credited into my account .

    So my question is ,
    1. Can i raise a grievance to reject/cancel my claim so that first i make the IFSC code corrections and then reclaim the PF?
    2. If PF office doesnt agree with option 1 , can i make correction in PF portal for IFSC and after employer approves can i reclaim the same through online ?
    3. Is re authorization letter mandatory or we can reclaim it through online PF claim option after necessary bank details correction?

    Others, please update if you have been through a similar situation

    • Hi Waseem,
      Correct your bank account details at UAN portal and ask your employer to approve it. After approval reclaim your PF amount. There is no need to raise grievance. If you want PF immediately then you can submit PF reauthorization form to your PF office with correct bank a/c details.
