PF WithDrawal Rejected

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A user experienced their PF withdrawal claim being rejected, initially due to an unclear reason and then specifically for not having an attested bank passbook photocopy. After clarification that their own signature on a cheque is sufficient, they successfully withdrew their PF. They then inquired about withdrawing from a previous company's PF account, and were advised to transfer it to their current company's account if they haven't completed five years of service with the previous employer.

18 January 2022 I tried pf withdraw from uan site, i uploaded latest cheque, wich has clear name , account and IFSC code.
After 2 weeks i got status saying it is rejected with below reason
your claim [ claim id - XXXXXXX ] has been rejected due to : 1) ok 2) photocopy of bank passbook not attested by the authorized signatory

Do we need to attest the cheque with bank manager? i came to know that for latest cheque, its not required. For new cheque also its rejected in my case

Can you please suggest on this.

08 February 2022 In this case transfer your PF to the current company tax payable on direct withdrawal.
Your current HR will help you for transfer.
