Dear All,
I believe at present there is no mechanism to know from where you are about your PF Account details, compared to the facilities that a bank account has. This is because the EPFO has not completely computerised and integrated its' systems. It has launched a project sometime in the month of August 2007 by the name of "Re-Inventing EPF India, by which an employee would have had a unique account no. (called the SSN No.) wherever he worked within India. By that unique no., one could have found out through the net, his/her account statement details.
But this dream project seems to have flopped as there is no intimation about the progress of this project by the EPFO. Since then, so many companies & employees have filed their SSN forms so many times, ( an employee may have changed so many jobs) there could have been chances of duplicacy, triplicacy, and so on...
Normally it takes 30 days to get one's withdrawl credited, but sometimes it takes unsually long..this way the account holders faith in the organisation gets diminished, and he thinks it was better had he invested the money somewhere else..
The only way to know about you EPF details is to visit the concerned Public
Relations Officer of the EPF office in your area and get to know from him/her the status of your account / withdrawl.
Best Wishes & Regards
