EPF Withdrawal Issue: Why Is My 2-Month Balance Still Unsettled? Seeking Advice

I applied for my EPF withdrawal using Form 10.4.18 (COMPOSITE CLAIM FORM - NON AADHAR), and the claim was received on 11.5.18. However, the EPF department did not consider the balance for two months, as it is still showing in my EPF passbook.

I raised a complaint on 11.5.18, and after two days, they replied that the claim has been settled on 11.5.18.

If anyone has information or suggestions regarding the same issue, please advise.

EPFO system keeps on crediting interest in your PF account, but you will receive the amount (including interest) as per your date of leaving.

Dear Mr. Manish,

If your DOL is 28-02-2018, you should have sent the claim form after two months, i.e., after the end of April 18. Accordingly, your two months' contribution is on hold, as well as the rate of interest for 2017-18 has not been declared, which will be adjusted in your balance amount. The remaining amount will be paid after the rate of interest is declared.

Thanks for your valuable suggestion. I visited the EPF office yesterday, and the officer informed me that my UAN data for the last two months (January and February '17) was not considered in their system due to late payment by the employer. The payments for January and February '17 were made in October '17. For the partial payment, I need to submit the claim form again. They assured me that they would update the payment in the system soon.
