Can I Withdraw My PF Without Employer Help? Steps and Forms Needed for Success

Hi Everyone, thank you for all of your support. This site helps me a lot when I need information related to PF and other salary-related queries.

PF Withdrawal Without Employer's Assistance

My question is, I worked for a company for seven months (26-Jun 2009 to 1 Feb 2010), and due to an unexpected situation, I quit the job without proper notification. Is there any way I can claim and get my PF amount without requesting my employer? I need to withdraw the amount. What forms do I need to use, and where should I submit/post the forms? I read that I can get attestation from a gazetted officer or bank manager instead of my employer. Please help me.

Thank you for your time.

Yes, you can claim your EPF and EPS amount via Form 19 & 10C, which should be sent to the concerned PF office. Additionally, you need to obtain attestation from a gazetted officer on Form 19 & 10C for this process. Therefore, there is no need to involve the employer in this matter.

Thank you very much, Mr. Arun Vignesh. Last time when I contacted a staff member in the PF Office, I asked if the employer's signature is necessary to claim PF. She said yes, it is a must. If I submit these forms and the staff insists on the employer's signature, what can I tell them or show them to prove that this is sufficient according to the law? Thank you in advance...!

Thank you for the information. If we withdraw PF without employer support, will we still be able to receive the employer's PF as well? Additionally, what steps should we take regarding Form 3A?
