Dear Sir
Since applied for my UAN in EPFO local office after five month i did not get it.
I own generated my UAN through UMANG mobile application.
Sir what i do now to link my services and KYC .
Thanking You.
I am not able to withdraw the money from EPFO, despite the KYC being validated. Every time I submit the claim, it shows a bank error, and they are not able to verify the bank.
I have only one bank account, which is joint bank account between my spouse and me. Let me know how to proceed in this case.
Yes, some time bank verification keeps pending on UAN portal.
If it takes more than 3 days, better register a complaint on PF grievance portal, they will resolve your issue.
After uploading bank KYC it shows
“Pending with Employer for digital signing”
for more than 1 weeks (more than 5 business days ).
Your employer should approve your KYC request, so ask them to do it. Some employers don’t open their EPF portal regularly.
my kyc Rejected due to name mismatch can any one help me
Your name in PF account and bank should match exactly, otherwise the claim gets rejected.
You should correct the wrong name either in PF or bank account.
Dear Sir,
i am not in job at present, working duration is expired, i am not in contact with employer, in the epfo portal i entered all the details, but my bank account is not approved, it is rejected, after this KYC is corrected in the bank seeding of my aaddhar portal , again i have given the bank details for approval, now i need a suggestions for further steps, please guide me
Reply
If your EPF details match with your bank details, soon your newly added bank details will get approval.
If they don’t get any approval in next 3-4 days, register a complaint on EPF grievance portal.

Hi ,
Although my KYC details shows as approved by Bank/Employer ,when i try to click on claim services,its says kyc not digitally signed.
I have 4 accounts under one uan
Please advise
If your KYC is under digitally approved KYC section, the error may be due to the technical error from EPFO side.
Wait for 2-3 days and retry.
If KYC is not under digitally approved KYC section, you have to resubmit your KYC.
I am experiencing an issue with updating my bank details in the KYC section on the EPFO website. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this. The problem is that I have incorrectly updated the IFSC code, which has led to a rejection. Could you please guide me on how to update this section again?
You can reupdate the correct bank details again, and wait for employer’s approval.
After approval you can apply for PF withdawal.
I left my job and now I want to claim the amount but due to changing my bank Branch the IFSC code has changes.
I updated in the UAN login but its has been a weeks
Kyc pending (pending from employer for digitally sign)
Since i left my job so my question is what if employer did not approve?
Any helpline for that?
If your employer is operating their business, they should approve your KYC.
If else, either you have to meet your employer directly or register a complaint on EPF grivance portal.
I left my job 3 years back and didn’t join any new company. But I am also getting the same message. Any suggestions is highly appreciated.
Thank you
You have to update your bank details on UAN portal to claim PF and pension amounts.

My SBI KYC for EPF claim settlement now the status changed to “pending with employer for digital signing”. But I was told that the approval is done by SBI directly and it is without employer. My employer says that the link is available to him for digital signing. Now what to do?
Hi Savitri, I am facing the same issue with SBI KYC. The status changed to Pending with Employer for digital signing . When I checked with my employer they are unable to see my pending KYC. Please let me know if you have resolved it. Would be great if you could drop a message to my mail id jones2050@gmail.com

i already had a approved set of KYC om my ex employer that i left last year…
Current employer didn’t initiate any kyc …
so can i withdraw an advance claim from my current employer on the basis of my ex employer’s KYC, or i need a fresh kyc with current employer? kINDLY SUGGEST…
Yes, you can withdraw PF advance.
You don’t need to link your Aadhar and bank details every time when you join a new job.

It is only for SBI, for other banks employers approval is mandatory.

Hi All,
If the person resigned & moved out of company, but still the KYC digital error is not approved by employer. Will the last employer still have access to digitally sign the Bank KYC ?
Please clarify

Your bank KYC is not digitally signed by employer, cannot proceed.
I’m getting this error message.
How to resolve the issue.
Pls suggest me
Your bank details should be approved by your company in their company PF portal, so ask them to approve your bank details.
(For SBI bank accounts, employer approval is not required, for other banks, it is required).
I have an SBI bank account but still getting the error.
The employer is not responding to my emails, what could I do.
Sometimes it will take a maximum of 7 days.
If it doesn’t get approved automatically then register a complaint on EPF grievance portal website.
Hi Rajesh, my issue is kind of weird. I had updated SBI bank details in my EPF portal. Initially it was pending for verification but after few days the status changed to pending with employer for digital Signing. I checked with my employer and they don’t see my kyc entry. What should I do? Like you said for SBI it should be the bank who approves.
It takes a maximum of 7 days to get SBI accounts approved without the employer’s intervention.
If it delays more than 7 days, register a complaint on the EPF grievance portal.
Hi Rajesh. Thank you for your response. Yes, I did raise a grievance after 7 days. This is what the response I got from them. “EPFO office has no role in approval of Bank KYC”

I have left my company, so my employer will not be digitally signed my KYC as I left my job without serve the notice period due to heath issues. So what can I do in this case.
You can update and keep your KYC in a pending state, some employers will approve them irrespective of the notice period.
Or whenever you join in a new job then continue the same UAN and ask your new employer to approve your KYC.
After approval, you can transfer your PF.
I’m facing the issue that Your bank KYC is not digitally signed by employer, who is this employer??
Company in which you have worked or in which you are working right now. Contact your HR department they will approve it.

For most of the EPF members the problem was solved, if it was not solved to you then raise a grievance at PF portal or if possible again update your bank account details with the help of your employer.
Still I’m facing the issue that Your bank KYC is not digitally signed by employer, cannot proceed. Could you please help me on the issu e?
For some members the problem is still existing, so better wait until the end of this week, in the meantime raise a grievance at the PF grievance portal.
