New rule makes PF withdrawal easy
Hyderabad, Dec 2: The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has made it easy to withdraw PF without the employer's attestation on the claims form.
EPFO is now allowing its subscribers to file their applications online to the retirement fund body directly without the hitherto mandatory employers' attestation.
Till now, PF subscribers need to submit their withdrawal claims form manually through their current or former employers along with the mandatory attestation.
However, the new facility is to be available to all those PF subscribers whose universal account number (UAN) has been activated and it has been seeded with KYC details including bank account and Aadhaar number.
"The facility of filing withdrawal claims directly to EPFO will help us eventually launching facility for settling such applications online. We hope that now we would be able to launch the online PF withdrawal facility within this fiscal," EPFO's Central Provident Fund Commissioner, K K Jalan, said.
