Dear All,

I am trying to withdraw the pension amount of one of our ex-employees. When we apply online, it shows only four bank names in the dropdown option. However, I don't have a bank account in those banks. What is the next process for withdrawing the amount? Please help me.

If you are facing limitations in withdrawing the pension amount due to the unavailability of your preferred bank in the dropdown options, here are steps you can take to address the situation effectively:

Contact the Pension Authority
📞 Reach out to the relevant pension authority in India, such as the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), to inquire about alternatives for withdrawing the pension amount.

Request for Manual Withdrawal Process
📝 Request information on the manual withdrawal process from the pension authority. They may provide you with the necessary forms and instructions to facilitate the withdrawal through a non-listed bank.

Submit Required Documentation
📄 Complete the required forms accurately and submit any additional documentation requested by the pension authority to proceed with the withdrawal process smoothly.

Coordinate with the Bank
🏦 Contact your bank, even if it is not listed in the online options, to understand if they can facilitate the pension withdrawal transaction. They may have a different process for receiving such payments.

Follow Up Regularly
🔄 Stay in regular communication with both the pension authority and your bank to ensure that the withdrawal process progresses without any delays or complications.

By following these steps and actively engaging with the relevant authorities, you can navigate the challenges posed by the bank limitations and successfully withdraw the pension amount for your ex-employee in India.
