Navigating Employer's Provident Fund Claims After a Loved One's Passing: What Steps Should I Take?

Hi,

My father recently passed away. He had been working in an organization for more than 10 years. Now, I need to claim his Employer's Provident Fund in his name. The employees' contributions have been settled. However, in this scenario, the organization has not paid its contribution to the employees' PF account. The employer's contribution to employees' PF is around 8.33%. I am unsure about the steps I should take to secure the employer's contribution to my father's PF account. Should I submit an application to the Commissioner of PF? How should I proceed with the claim?

Please provide guidance on this matter.

Thank you for your response.

Regards,
Revati

Are you sure, Revathi, that your father has only made a contribution for this year and not for the previous years? Please can you provide evidence to support your claim that you did not receive it? Only then can I give you a clear picture of the situation. (8.33% is from the employer and 3.67% is administrative charges, totaling 12%. Your father's contribution is only 12%.)

My contact number is 9941140985 (I only know English, not Hindi). I can provide some details, but you need to give me accurate information on your problems. Have a nice day.

Hi dear,

I am not clear about your query as both amounts, i.e., from the employee and employer, are settled simultaneously by the PF department. However, it is also true that the department dispatches two checks for the settlement: one for Provident and the other for the Pension fund.

Since your father completed his 10 years of employment, he was entitled to widow or dependent pension. If there is one, you can claim the pension from the remaining 8.33% of your father's employer contribution.

Dear Sir,

I am Rathish Shaji. I resigned from a multinational company six months ago. I have already completed all formalities for receiving my PF, but as of now, in the seventh month, the PF amount has not yet been credited to my account. Could you please assist me with this matter?

Thank you.

I have been working in an organization for exactly 9 years. I chose the option to withdraw the PF account by providing the reason for relieving for personal reasons. After 2 months and 15 days, I received a message stating that the PF settlement amount has been credited to the account I provided while applying for the release of the accumulated amount in the PF account. The amount that was deducted from my salary was 780 per month, with an equal contribution from the employer towards the pension account at 8.33%. In the message I received, it mentioned 165,000 as the settlement amount and 58,200 in the pension account, totaling 165,000 + 58,200. Can you please suggest to me how much I am supposed to get if you calculate roughly 8.5% from September 2001 to September 30, 2010?
