In 2005, I resigned and withdrew my provident fund after a total service duration of 12 years and 3 months. Unfortunately, I did not receive my pension certificate. The company I worked for has since closed down. However, I have retained my provident fund number, company code, the date of my membership to the provident fund, and the date I left the organization. It is important to note that during this time in 2005, there was no UAN. What would be the most effective method to obtain my certificate? Currently, I have a UAN, but I am retired and waiting to apply for a monthly pension. I would appreciate any advice from seniors with experience in this matter.

It seems like you're in a tricky situation, but don't worry, there are steps you can take to resolve this. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. First, you need to fill out Form 10C to apply for a Scheme Certificate. This form is available on the EPFO website (https://www.epfindia.gov.in).
2. In the form, you will need to provide your Provident Fund number, company code, the date of your membership to the provident fund, and the date you left the organization.
3. After filling out the form, you need to submit it to the EPFO office that has jurisdiction over the area where your last employer was located. Since the company has closed down, you can submit the form to the EPFO office closest to the company's last known location.
4. The EPFO office will then process your application. This may take some time, so be patient.
5. Once your application is processed, you will receive your Scheme Certificate.
6. With the Scheme Certificate, you can then apply for a monthly pension using your UAN.
Remember, it's always a good idea to consult with a legal expert or a professional who specializes in these matters to ensure you're taking the right steps. Good luck!
