My previous company has not received any rejection letter yet. Please help me with how I can proceed and how long it will take if I resubmit it. I resigned on July 14th, 2012, but I still haven't had that claim processed. I am very sad now. Can anybody please help me?

Regards, Krishna

You need not worry. First, coordinate with the concerned EPFO office and inquire about the whole situation. Then proceed with the desired action.

Thanks & Regards,

Resolution for PF Contribution Issue

Your PF contribution done by your previous company was not clear. They may need to submit a detailed Form 3A, which will state your every month PF contribution from the date of your joining till the time you were in that organization. Then, your PF will get processed.

You need to contact your previous company and inform them of this reason for rejection. They will then issue a new letter in your name, have you sign it, attach the proper 3A form, and reprocess it with the PF office. Otherwise, they will ask you to fill out Form 19 and 10 C once again as you did initially.

Don't worry, nobody can take your PF amount from you.

Regarding your query, please let me know the reasons for the rejection of your claim form by the EPFO Office. Kindly obtain the necessary information from the EPFO Office and contact your previous employer to clarify and submit the required documents to the EPFO Office promptly in order to receive your PF Accumulations at the earliest.

Thanks & Regards,

Thank you for providing this information. I have checked with my company, and they have informed me that they have not received the rejection letter yet. Can we inquire with the PF department about the dispatch details so that I can track the rejection letter? Please advise.

The EPFO must have returned the claim for clarification regarding your contribution. Take a printout of this letter and approach the concerned PF office authority; they will provide you with the details of the rejection letter along with the acknowledgment. If I am not mistaken, they will also send a copy to the claimant. Please check.

Last but not least, obtain the statement of PF contribution from your previous employer. To be on the safe side, file the claim once again with the statement.

Regards,

I read the above suggestions and I also want to share some with you. Is it true that from this financial year, it is not compulsory for the employer to submit to EPFO due to the online process for submitting challan?

Also, regarding your rejection, please contact EPFO and inquire about the reason for your rejection. I am sure you will receive a positive reply.

Thanks
