I worked for a company from 15th December 2014 to May 2018. PF was deducted from my salary and paid into my EPF account from January 2015 to April 2016. They gave me an appraisal in April 2016 in which they said PF is optional, so I asked them not to deduct it. They obtained a signature on a form regarding this and credited the PF amount along with my salary.
Similarly, PF was not credited to my account from May 2016 to April 2017. During the 2017 appraisal, they said PF would be mandatory for all employees regardless of the pay scale. Therefore, PF was again deducted from my salary, and the same has been paid into my EPF account correctly from May 2017 to May 2018. I resigned from the company this past May and have been out of a job for the last 5 months. Now, I want to withdraw the cash from my PF account. A friend who is a former HR, upon reviewing my EPF passbook, mentioned that my claim might be rejected due to the missing PF entries. Can anyone please advise on what should be done to rectify this situation?

Hi,
You should have activated your UAN account and provided details like Aadhar card number, PAN card, and bank details, etc.
If so, then you should fill your claim online and wait for the response from the department. Usually, it takes around 5-7 days to get a reply from them about your claim. Most probably, you will get your dues without any difficulty.
But if you face difficulties, then you may present your case with PF department remarks.

Thank you for your response, sir. All verifications inside the PF portal have been completed, except for the PAN Card due to a name mismatch error. I have now submitted a partial withdrawal request through the online claim form and am hopeful that it will be successful.
