How to Check Employee Provident Fund (EPF) Balance, Status Online and History of Employee Provident Fund


The Employees’ Provident fund is managed by an organisation called the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), which is one of the largest provident fund institutions in the world in terms of volume of transactions. The organisation came into being in 1952, following the Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act (EPF & MP Act), 1952.


All workers whose emoluments exceed Rs.6,500 per month have an option to join the scheme with the consent of the employer. The employee is eligible for membership of EPF from the day he joins such a company which is covered under the EPF and MP Act, 1952. The rate of contribution payable by the member is fixed at 12% of his emoluments - basic pay, DA, cash value of food concession and retaining allowance up to a maximum of Rs.6,500 per month. Voluntary higher contributions are also acceptable at the joint request of the member and the employer.

The employee has to declare his previous employment details in Form No.2 (containing the family particulars and nominations) through the employer and the employer submits the same to EPFO.

The employee can nominate any one or more members of his family to receive the Provident Fund in case of his death. In case he does not have a family, he can nominate any other person. The nomination can be changed by the employee whenever he wishes to do so, within the rules of the EPFO.


KNOW YOUR EPF BALANCE

Although the national website does not have such a link, some EPF offices, Karnataka, for example, has this provision on its website. You have to provide your establishment code and your PF account number and the information gets displayed to you. You will have to visit the regional website through http://www.epfindia.com/RegSites.html and check whether your area office provides such a value added service to you. There is no such laid down rule for providing you with the required information in a prescribed format. The EPFO, as a prescribed rule, sends you only the annual accounts statements at the end of each financial year, to the address where you were last employed. If you are lucky enough to get hold of one, you can, through that statement, calculate further and then keep your own record. In case you want your information in any other month, you may go through the ‘Right To Information’ route and procure the desired information within one month.


A new service has been launched recently and you can know your balance directly by clicking on this link:
http://www.epfindia.com/MembBal.html



WITHDRAWING YOUR EPF

• WITHDRAWAL BEFORE RETIREMENT: You can withdraw up to 90% of the amount in you EPF account after you attain the age of 54 years, or within one year before actual retirement on superannuation whichever is later. Claim application in form 19 has to be submitted to the concerned Provident Fund Office.

For other cases such as
  • Shifting of Job: At such times, the PF balance could be transferred from one employer to another. The existing balance would continue to stay. With fresh contributions made by the new employer.
  • Quitting of Job: PF could be withdrawn, if you quit your job and provide a declaration that you do not intend to work for the next six month.
• WITHDRAWAL AFTER RETIREMENT

You can withdraw full amount in the fund on retirement from service after 55 years of age. You can also withdraw the full amount due to any of the following occurrences:

1. If you have not attained the age of 55 year at the time of termination of service.
2. If you retired on account of permanent and total bodily or mental disablement
3. If you migrated from India for permanent settlement abroad or for taking employment abroad.
4. In the case of mass or individual retrenchment.



CHECKING YOUR EPF STATUS ONLINE



If you have already applied for EPF withdrawal and you want to check the status of your claims application, you can visit http://59.177.81.198/homepage_claim_status_new.php and fill up the form with the details of your EPF office and you Employee PF Account Number. This facility is available on almost all the regional websites also.

Now, savings account number portability coming


You may soon be able to switch your bank without having to change your account number, if you are savings bank account holder. The Finance Ministry is keen to usher in savings bank account number portability and has begun discussions on removing regulatory restrictions, a top Government official said.

“We want to do it (savings account number portability). Right now there are some technical problems, we have identified them. We will overcome them soon”, Mr D.K Mittal, Financial Services Secretary, told reporters here.

KYC norms

His remarks came after a meeting in the Finance Ministry attended, among others, by Finance Secretary, Mr R.S.Gujral, Economic Affairs Secretary, Mr R Gopalan, and Chief Economic Advisor in the Finance Ministry, Dr Kaushik Basu.

Introduction of savings account number portability is also expected to help customers change their banks without having to go through know your customer (KYC) norms again.

The Government has already, through sectoral regulators, allowed portability of mobile phone numbers and health insurance policies.

Mr Mittal said banks will have to work on identification codes, KYC norms and Core Banking Solutions for implementing savings bank account portability.


But, experts said savings bank account portability will force banks to offer similar interest rates on a savings account, which is not the case now. In addition, it will lead to a huge improvement in service delivery in PSU banks because they will be at risk of losing customers.

“Theoretically, it is a sound concept. To implement it is an Herculean task as it will mean renumbering of the existing savings bank accounts,” a senior SBI official said.

“We at SBI have about 130 million accounts. Assuming that it is about 25 per cent of total accounts, there would be about 500 million savings accounts in India that will have to be renumbered.”

Savings bank account portability will be a costly exercise and will be confusing for customers. Another point of confusion will be on KYC norms. When a customer is migrating from one bank to the other, the second bank may not want to rely on the KYC undertaken by the first bank, the SBI official said.

A Srinath, head of retail loans at Bank of Baroda, said, “The number portability is good, but, we need to have the necessary technology for it.”

Most banks are now on the CBS platform: The account numbers are 12, 13 or 14 numbers; the first few numbers are the branch code, the scheme code and the like. All these will have to be looked into before talking about account portability, Srinath said.
