Hi Sir,
I filled my PF settlement form 19 and 10C on 02.08.2021 and it is settled on 12th and 13th Aug. 2021. I also received a message on my mobile number on 14th Aug ’21 that money will be credited within 3 working days in your bank account. But it is going to be 1 month & 4 days still i am unable to receive my money. Yesterday I called in my PF office they are telling me my pf is returned back but when i am checking online (on my PF account) it is showing settled only. kindly please help. i am unable to understand why my settled PF is returned because i checked all my KYC details they all are correct.
Register a complaint on the EPF grievance portal website, they can tell you the exact reason for what happened?
Sir My PF Status showing settled but returned and PF Passbook not showing the NEFT returned amount
It will take 4-5 days to show the returned amount in your PF passbook.
Dear Sir ,
My PF claim raised on 9th July got returned on 16th as Account number was wrong. But even after one month neither the amount is showing in the passbook , nor the online status is showing as returned only grievance reply is as returned. I fixed the account number online, got it approved from my employer and when i visited the KR puram PF office they asked me to claim again. This claim got rejected with the status that the claim is already settled. In this case what is the recourse i need to take. Online grievance is not replying with correct status , they just reply with raise the request when amount recredited . Or recredit in progress. Does it mean that their is something fishy ?
No need to worry, some times it takes time to update your PF passbook.
So as they said, reapply for your PF, you will get it.
Thank you so much ! However, i reapplied on Aug 13 , but it got rejected with the message that PF claim is already settled 🙁
Same problem if u know the solution pls let us know it will be really helpful 😔
Sir I got a msg to my mobile number from epfo telling my asr form got rejected on 23rd but after that again and again I’m receiving msg from epfo telling that claim is under process for the same claim id which got rejected wat does it mean?
To know the exact status, register a complaint on EPF grievance portal website.
If your ASR is rejected then solve that problem, and resubmit the ASR or reapply for PF online.
Sir
Can we send the ASR form on line, if yes then where?
Is there any specific email id where we can send the same.
There is no option to send ASR online.
But you can reapply for PF again after correcting your bank details on UAN portal.
Hii Sir,
Mistakenly I had given wrong account number in my PF account. Last time when I applied.. Claim was settled but amount went back to my PF account… I didn’t notice the account number I reclaimed the amount… It got rejected and the reason was claim already settled…. And the status is also same i.e already settled.
Now I have informed my employer to correct the account details. After correction do I need to apply ASR or directly claim for withdrawal from my PF account.
If your account details are corrected on the UAN portal then better reapply for PF.
Sir my name in UAN portal is John samuvel but in bank account it is John S so will my claim be rejected if I proceed with the following
Yes, the chances are there for your claim rejection.
Try to correct your name in your bank account.
Sir I submitted Asr form and it got rejected due to the following reasons
Your Claim [ Claim Id – has been rejected due to : 1) MEMBER IS REQUESTED TO APPLY THROUGH ONLINE.CONTACT EMPLOYER FOR UAN GENERATION. 2) NOT SIGNED/ ATTESTED
Wat does this mean and now wat should I do
Maybe your ASR form is not signed by your employer, so better reapply for the PF online after correcting your bank details on the UAN portal.
The asr form which I submitted had the attestation from my employer with the company seal but still I got it rejected and rejecting reason was as I mentioned above why did this happen sir
Is your bank passbook signed by the bank officer, or in case if you have submitted a cheque then make sure your name is printed on it?
If everything is fine then register a complaint on the EPF grievance portal website to know the exact reason for rejection.
