Hi,

 

He has to collect the EPF account no and details from the employer and has to made application to the regional EPF Commissioner by putting a CC to the employer as registered post, providing his bank account no.

The interest continues to accrue on amount lying in EPF a/c.

The member can submit the PF withdrawal forms thru employer or direct, duly attested by other designated official e.g. bank manager to concerned PF office. Member can check status of claim online at www.epfindia.com, www.epfindia.gov.in

The PF office shall send the payment direct to the bank of member for credit in a/c, by regd/speed post, and copy of the intimation is sent to member by ordinary post.

Pf number is mentioned on the salary slip. If PF number is not available, employee can obtain it from company office, from concerned employee handling PF work.

You have posted that employee worked for only 3 months but the employer deposited for 2 years.
If there is an error and it is detected, employer and EPF authorities shall refund after making deductions, and if not detected before releasing payment, the authorities can proceed for recovery.
