Where is my PF claim? Check your EPF withdrawal status
Log in free on the EPFO member site with your own UAN, open 'Track Claim Status' and see if your PF claim is pending, settled or rejected, and what to do next.
Free on the official page. Your own numbers only. We have no automated link to any government portal, use no private data services, and never store the result.
What you need
- EPF (Employees' Provident Fund) is the official name of your PF, and EPFO is the office that runs it. Its sites also say PAN (Permanent Account Number, your income-tax card number).
- Your own UAN (Universal Account Number, the 12-digit PF number your employer gives you). It must be active. If it is not, first use our free PF account check, linked at the end of this page.
- Your own EPFO password. If you forgot it, the member site has 'Forgot Password ?'; an OTP (a one-time code sent by SMS) comes to the mobile registered with your UAN, and you type it yourself.
- A claim you have already filed: for example taking out PF money (Form 19 or Form 31), pension money (Form 10C) or moving PF from an old job (Form 13).
What to do on the official page
- Open the official EPFO member site: unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface. The page says 'MEMBER e-SEWA' at the top. It is free.
- Type your own 'UAN Number', your 'Password' and the picture code (captcha), then click 'Sign in'.
- In the top menu, open 'Online Services', then click 'Track Claim Status'.
- You see each claim with its claim ID, the date you filed it and its status. If you worked in more than one job, look under the Member ID of the job the claim is for.
- Write down the claim ID. You need it if you call the helpline or file a complaint. On a phone you can also check in the UMANG app (the government's app for many services) under 'EPFO'.
What the result means
The portal shows: 'Pending with the employer'
It means: Your claim is waiting for your employer to approve it on their EPFO site. This mostly happens with transfer claims (moving PF from an old job).
What to do next: Ask your employer's HR or accounts office to approve it. If they do not, file a free complaint on epfigms.gov.in with your claim ID.
The portal shows: 'Accepted by the employer. Pending at Field Office', or 'Under Process'
It means: Your claim has reached the EPFO office and they are checking it. You do not need to do anything now.
What to do next: Wait and check again after a few days. Do not file the same claim again. If it has not moved for more than 20 days, call the free EPFO helpline or file a free complaint on epfigms.gov.in.
The portal shows: 'Settled', with an amount and a date
It means: EPFO has approved your claim and sent the money to the bank account in your PF KYC (the Aadhaar, PAN and bank details saved in your PF account).
What to do next: Check your bank account in a few working days. If the money does not come, ask your bank first, then call the free EPFO helpline with your claim ID.
The portal shows: 'Rejected', with a reason
It means: EPFO did not pay this claim. Common reasons: your name or date of birth in PF does not match Aadhaar, the bank account is not verified, the date you left the job is missing, or you are not yet allowed to take out that money.
What to do next: Read the reason. Fix that one thing: bank or PAN in KYC on the member site; name, date of birth or leaving date through your employer. Then file a new claim. Filing again is free.
The portal shows: 'Returned'
It means: The claim was sent back to you because something was missing or wrong. It is not paid yet.
What to do next: Read the note with it, correct that detail, and file the claim again on the member site.
The portal shows: No claim shows in the list.
It means: The claim was not submitted, it is under another Member ID, or you gave a paper claim form at an EPFO office.
What to do next: Look under each Member ID. For a paper claim, use 'Know Your Claim Status' on epfindia.gov.in with your PF account number, or ask the EPFO office where you gave it.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay to check my PF claim status?
No. Checking the status, filing a claim and filing a complaint are all free on the official EPFO sites. Do not pay an agent for this.
How long does a PF claim take?
Many claims with complete KYC are settled in a few days. EPFO should settle a claim within 20 days. If yours is stuck longer, call the helpline or complain on epfigms.gov.in.
My claim was rejected. Can I apply again?
Yes. First fix the reason shown with the rejection, then file a new claim on the member site. It is free.
Someone called from 'EPFO' and asked for my OTP or a fee to pass my claim. What should I do?
Do not give anything. The official EPFO sites say EPFO never asks for Aadhaar, PAN, bank details or OTP on the phone and never asks members to deposit money. Cut the call. If you shared an OTP, call your bank and the cyber crime helpline 1930.
Where do I call or complain if my claim is stuck?
Call the free EPFO helpline 1800118005 (the member site also shows 14470), or use 'Register Grievance' on epfigms.gov.in with your UAN and claim ID. You get a registration number by SMS and can use 'View Status' later.
