Dear Sir/Madam !
Greetings for the day. I worked for BSNL(Mahaerashtra Telecom circle) and resign from service in July,2007. Since then i am working abroad. I ahve applied for my EPF and other benefit withdrawal 02 time from last 05 years but rejected due to small mistake from BSNL.
Now my last fully completed application form for EPF withdrawal is pending from 11-02-2011(10 months),Bandra EPFO. I came India in june 2011 and Oct-2011 and meet Assit commissioner Mr A.B. Lute and concerned clerk Smt. Seema Mhatre but till date it is not cleared. They are always telling it will be cleared and do not worry. I sent my father many times who is very old but still no solution.I have written many mail regarding this issue to CPFO,REPFO and PRO,Bandra,Mumbai office. Kindly advice me what legal action i can take on EPFO,Bandra since i am residing abroad so my father will represent. Any expert lawer from Mumbai in such type case will be highly appreciated. Kindly reply personal email address: anil_mishra707@rediffmail.com
With best regards!

You file writ of mandamus against BSNL and Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner.It is responsibility of the PF department to ensure payment of an employee within reasonable period.

In the given case, issue a legal notice to concerned APFC and then file a consumer complaint by appointing your father as your GPA. You can contact Ajay Sethi, an active expert on LCI for this purpose.

Hi
1st simply file a RTI application, clearly asking as to when was your application for PF withdrawal was received by them , monthwise action taken on this application, current status of application, by when (exact timeline) the case will be settled.
Currently Citizen charter is applicable in many of the departments, wherein a time limit is prescribed for each & every work Just check if same is applicable here also. Than draft your RTI application accordingly

RTI is also a good option without involvement of any lawyer.
