In case the previous employer has closed down the business, and an ex-employee of that company wishes to apply for the withdrawal of PF, what should he/she do in the absence of an authorized signatory to sign his/her forms?

Hi Simran,

However, what if the previous establishment has shut down and there will be no one available to attest a Form 13 too? I read on the EPFO website that one can get it attested by the manager of a nationalized bank or a gazetted officer. However, I was advised by a consultant that it is still difficult to withdraw the amount. Please suggest.

If the previous organization got shut down, you can get the form attested from the manager where you have your savings account, and that account should be mentioned in your PF withdrawal form where PF money will be transferred. Avoid attestation from a Gazetted officer.

As I have submitted my claim forms attested by the Manager of the bank, they were not accepted by the EPFO in Bommasandra, Bangalore. I had to send them for attestation to the employer. However, it has not been resubmitted even after 4 months had passed.

On the other hand, EPFO in Hyderabad accepted and deposited the money within 20 days. I don't know the reason why EPFOs are not being updated and if they are following different rules.
