Navigating PF and CPF Claims After Leaving a Job: How Can I Get My Money Back?

I am Vaishali. For the last 5 months, I was working for an organization. During that period, they deducted ₹2800 for CPF and ₹2800 for PF from my salary. I have now received another job offer and have left the organization. How do I go about claiming my PF and CPF? Please guide me accordingly.

Regards,
Vaishali

You have to work for a minimum of 6 months to be eligible for withdrawal benefits from EPFO (Both EPF & EPS). Since you have left within 5 months, you are eligible to receive the EPF amount. You can submit Form 19 for your share (12%) and the employer's share (3.67%).

You will not be eligible for EPS - Pension, so do not submit Form 10C, which means you will not receive the employer's share of 8.33%.

Thank you.

I have one confusion due to your views as you said "your Share 12% + Employer Share 3.67%," but as per my knowledge, the total sharing is 12%, in which the Employee share is 3.67% and the employer share is 8.33%. 8.33% + 3.67% = 12%. Is this correct?

Query About PF Withdrawal

One more thing, as Vishali told you that she is resigning after completion of 5 months, so after filling the Form No. 19, which part will she get back? Please let me know.

The total contribution is 24% (Employee 12% (EPF account) + Employer 12% (8.33% (EPS account) + 3.67% (EPF account))). When withdrawing PF, two forms are submitted: Form 19 (EPF account) and 10C (EPS account). Note that Form 10C is not applicable for employment periods of less than 6 months; in such cases, one cannot withdraw that contribution.

Hope this clarifies things.

Thank you.
