Pl.note, On the withdrawal forms i.e. EPF, EFP, the signature of employer is not mandatory. The meaning
of signature of Employer is that, he is authenticate the Claimant and his / her signature. It can be done
form Class 1 Officer, Gazetted officer, etc.
If employer not submitted the relevant information i.e. Form No.10, Break certificate, 3A etc. to EPF department,
claim will not be settled or withhold. In that case Employee can make complaint against the said Co./employer with
PF commissioner by putting up the facts. PF authority will force to Co. for submission of necessary information /
documents etc.
Rather at the time of submission of withdrawal forms, claimant can write to the PF Commissioner that Co. / employer
is not co-operating for withdrawal claim and fact. PF department will take the necessary action against Co./ employer.
