Confused About the PF Re-authorization Process? Need Help with Missing Forms and Bank Issues

Respected Sir, I had sent an RTI application 35 days ago. Yesterday, I received a letter from the "Employees Provident Fund Organization" as follows. Please read the following letter and give me proper suggestions:

"It is to inform you that the PF Account No. XXXXXX has been settled for Rs: xxxx (PF) and Rs: xxxx (EPS) and has been sent to your bank through NEFT vide cheque no: xxxx dated 31.10.2010. Cheque no: xxxx dated 31.10.2010 was returned by the bank authorities with the remarks 'Account does not exist.' You are, therefore, requested to submit the re-authorization form (enclosed) duly attested by your ex-employer along with a copy of the passbook."

Sir, please note that I have not received any "Re-authorization form" in the enclosure. Before proceeding, I would like to inform you that I have a "Nagrik Bachat Khata" for PF (not a savings account) in the Bank of Baroda, which offers me zero balance facility.

So, sir, please let me know the whole PF re-authorization process.

Have you searched through Google or the research box? You could have found the form that way. Anyhow, please see the thread at https://www.citehr.com/276300-pf-rea...tion-form.html, which has the form you were asking for.

All the best.

PF Re-Authorization Process and Timeline

So, my PF was not credited to my account. After reading various articles on the page and checking my KYC details, I realized my bank details were incorrect. I submitted my PF re-authorization letter to the respective PF office.

Now, as per many videos, once you submit the letter, you should receive the money in 10-15 days. I want to know what the process is, and someone at the PF office told me it will take 30-45 days depending on their load.

Even before understanding the details, I had processed another claim. It was later that I realized my wrong KYC. After my first process was settled on the 11th of Jan, without learning anything, I claimed again on the 15th of Jan. After reading articles, I submitted a Re-Authorization letter on the 24th of Jan. So, while re-authorization is in process, so is my second claim on the 15th of Jan. Will these things add time to get my PF amount?

Please help me with these questions.
