Are you unsure about how to check EPFO claim status? We can guide you through the process.

Introduced by EPFO, the EPF (Employees Provident Fund) account is a retirement savings account where employees contribute 12% of their basic pay and dearness allowance. The account yields 8.15% interest every year. At the time of retirement, when the employee receives the amount, the interest remains tax-free.

The purpose of an EPF account is to contribute a part of income until retirement so that even after retirement, the individual receives a sustainable income. However, what if you need that amount before retirement? Yes, under the circumstances, a part of the PF amount can be withdrawn. Once you have applied for it, you must keep a tab on the claim status. Here we discuss how you can quickly check PF claim status without any hassle!

What is PF Claim Status?

Simply put, PF claim status refers to the current and the latest update on your PF withdrawal claim. There are multiple reasons why an individual may need to withdraw their PF savings. So, depending on your cause of withdrawal, age, the amount saved, and the tenure of contribution, you may access partial or full withdrawal of the PF amount.

Once you have applied for PF withdrawal, you may keep a tab on the updates. Now, it is quite easier and hassle-free to check the claim status of EPF. It not only helps you stay up to date on the process but checking status also ensures details are correct. In case of any incorrect information or action, you may be able to report it on time and avoid unnecessary claim issues. Read on to learn how to check PF status online.

Conclusion

Provident Fund or PF has various benefits for the employee. It is one of the most reliable sources of retirement income. Although the contribution takes a part of your income while in the job, the income after retirement and the interest accumulation is worth the contribution. Not only this, a PF account also lets you avail loan against it. 

During the employee tenure, you may choose to partially or fully withdraw the amount accumulated in the EPFO account including the interest on it. You may raise the withdrawal claim in a few clicks. Now, to check the updates on your claim status, you do not have to visit anywhere. Using your smartphone, you may log in to the official website of EPFO, the UAN member portal, or the Umag application.
