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.

State Bank of India (SBI) History

The evolution of State Bank of India can be traced back to the first decade of the 19th century. It began with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta, on 2 June 1806. The bank was redesigned as the Bank of Bengal, three years later, on 2 January 1809. It was the first ever joint-stock bank of the British India, established under the sponsorship of the Government of Bengal. Subsequently, the Bank of Bombay (established on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (established on 1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks dominated the modern banking scenario in India, until when they were amalgamated to form the Imperial Bank of India, on 27 January 1921.




An important turning point in the history of State Bank of India is the launch of the first Five Year Plan of independent India, in 1951. The Plan aimed at serving the Indian economy in general and the rural sector of the country, in particular. Until the Plan, the commercial banks of the country, including the Imperial Bank of India, confined their services to the urban sector. Moreover, they were not equipped to respond to the growing needs of the economic revival taking shape in the rural areas of the country. Therefore, in order to serve the economy as a whole and rural sector in particular, the All India Rural Credit Survey Committee recommended the formation of a state-partnered and state-sponsored bank.

The All India Rural Credit Survey Committee proposed the take over of the Imperial Bank of India, and integrating with it, the former state-owned or state-associate banks. Subsequently, an Act was passed in the Parliament of India in May 1955. As a result, the State Bank of India (SBI) was established on 1 July 1955. This resulted in making the State Bank of India more powerful, because as much as a quarter of the resources of the Indian banking system were controlled directly by the State. Later on, the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed in 1959. The Act enabled the State Bank of India to make the eight former State-associated banks as its subsidiaries.

The State Bank of India emerged as a pacesetter, with its operations carried out by the 480 offices comprising branches, sub offices and three Local Head Offices, inherited from the Imperial Bank. Instead of serving as mere repositories of the community's savings and lending to creditworthy parties, the State Bank of India catered to the needs of the customers, by banking purposefully. The bank served the heterogeneous financial needs of the planned economic development.

Branches
The corporate center of SBI is located in Mumbai. In order to cater to different functions, there are several other establishments in and outside Mumbai, apart from the corporate center. The bank boasts of having as many as 14 local head offices and 57 Zonal Offices, located at major cities throughout India. It is recorded that SBI has about 10000 branches, well networked to cater to its customers throughout India.

ATM Services
SBI provides easy access to money to its customers through more than 8500 ATMs in India. The Bank also facilitates the free transaction of money at the ATMs of State Bank Group, which includes the ATMs of State Bank of India as well as the Associate Banks – State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur, State Bank of Hyderabad, State Bank of Indore, etc. You may also transact money through SBI Commercial and International Bank Ltd by using the State Bank ATM-cum-Debit (Cash Plus) card.

Subsidiaries
The State Bank Group includes a network of eight banking subsidiaries and several non-banking subsidiaries. Through the establishments, it offers various services including merchant banking services, fund management, factoring services, primary dealership in government securities, credit cards and insurance.
