Hi, I worked for my previous company for 2 years, and now it's been 4 months since I was relieved. I am following up with my previous company for my PF, and they say it's under process. I have filled out the PF application and submitted it to my previous company. Is there any alternative way? I have all supporting documents (payslip, relieving letter, and offer letter). Can I go to the labor court? Please guide me.
Regards.

Hi In that case ask them abt the copy of the acknowledgement for submitting the PF forms to PF Department. If you have the copy of the acknowledgement then you should enquire only with PF department.

In this case, check it on the PF website EPFO. Know your Claim Status, then go to the column of "know your status" and press enter. Click here for the status. Then you will find the Claim Status Report. Enter your state, for example, Andhra Pradesh, then click Hyderabad. Enter your account number in the format ap hyd 00+5-digit company code followed by 000, then zeros followed by your PF number. You will be able to know if they have submitted your PF or not - you will find the status in that process.

You can also check your balance on the following site: http://epfindia.gov.in <link updated to the site home> [EPFO]. The site will send you an SMS with the balance in both the pension fund and provident fund. However, this depends on whether the PF office where your company deposits is systematized or not.
Also, you can go to the PF office personally and inquire at their enquiry counters if they have received any claim form. In case they have not received it and you are not getting a proper response, go to the EPF website and register a complaint against the company so the PF office will send a person for the investigation.
Ensure you keep all communication to your company in a written format, either through emails or through registered posts with acknowledgment due. Best of luck.

There is no way for you to get the amount without the authorized signature of the employer along with the Form 3A copy. If you checked on the EPFO site, it will show the balance amount through your mobile by SMS. If your company fails to submit the annual return for the year period, then it is also not possible for you. You may go to the PF area office; they will tell you the same answer.
Steps to Obtain Your PF Amount
The only way is to go straight to your office along with Form 10c & 19, fill it, and get the authorized signature. Get your Form 3A authorized by the Employer and one canceled bank cheque copy in which account the amount is to be credited. Then directly go and submit it in the PF area office; within a month, you will get your amount.
Note: There should not be any rewriting. If anything is there, it means it will be sent back to the company. After getting the signature where it has been rewritten, then it will take one more month delay again.

There is no need to panic. If your employer is not providing the required information or a copy of the application, you can directly approach the EPF office along with the new withdrawal application form. In this case, there is no need for the signature of your employer; it is sufficient if the form is attested by any advocate or a gazetted officer.
