Claim Settled but Doesn\'t Reflect in My Bank Account

I have claimed PF amount through UAN portal, and the claim status is showing that the claim has been settled. However, I have a question. Recently, I changed my home branch from ICICI Mysore to ICICI Bank Hyderabad. Although my bank account remained unchanged, the IFSC Code was updated from ICIC0000558 to ICIC0000567. After making the claim online, I noticed that the IFSC code had been changed. Will the amount be reflected in my bank account, or what do I have to do?

If your PF claim status shows that the claim has been settled, but the amount hasn't reflected in your bank account due to an IFSC code change, you can take the following steps to ensure that the amount is credited to your updated bank account:

🔹 Verify Bank Details: Double-check the updated IFSC code (ICIC0000567) and ensure that all other bank details provided during the claim process are accurate.

🔹 Contact the Bank: Reach out to your bank, ICICI Bank Hyderabad, and inform them about the situation. Explain the IFSC code change and provide them with the necessary information to track the incoming payment.

🔹 Visit Bank Branch: If needed, visit your new bank branch in Hyderabad in person. Speak with a bank representative and inquire about the status of the incoming payment. They can assist you in ensuring the amount is credited correctly.

🔹 Request Reconciliation: If the amount doesn't reflect even after verifying with the bank, request a reconciliation process. This involves matching the payment details from the EPFO with your updated bank account to facilitate the transfer.

🔹 Contact EPFO: If the issue persists, consider contacting the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to seek their assistance. Provide them with all relevant details, including your updated bank account information and the IFSC code change.

By following these steps and ensuring that all bank details are accurate and up to date, you can facilitate the seamless transfer of your PF amount to your new bank account at ICICI Bank Hyderabad.
