This document is the A.S.R. (Advance Stamped Receipt) Form, used for the re-authorisation of returned EPF, EPS, and EDLI benefit amounts. It's designed for members whose payments were sent back by the bank due to reasons like an inoperative account, incorrect IFSC code, or name mismatch. The form allows you to provide your correct bank account details for the funds to be re-credited. It requires details of the member, the reason for the return, the new bank account information, and supporting documents like a cancelled cheque and ID proof. This form is useful for any EPF/EPS/EDLI member facing issues with receiving their benefit payments.
Currently, there is no facility available at EPFO site to apply online for reauthorization of undelivered/returned amount. Therefore, EPF member has to apply offline through ASR/Reauthorization Form.
