EPF Withdrawal

Is it true?? I have a saving account in Oriental Bank of Commerce and the bank doesn't print the customer's name on the check, even account number is not printed. I was told by the Employer that if I don't have a check where my name is not printed on the check then I can not withdraw my PF. 1.Is it true? 2.Is the OBC check really not valid? 3.What are the available options ( legal as well) for me, if I want to get the PF amount credited in OBC account only? Thank you.

All banks are now providing CTS-2010 compliant cheque books that have name of the customer, a/c numbers,IFSC code printed on it...........................and are even providing attested photo,and these details on passbook.....

If PF office accepts, certification by the BM of the bank , showing above details may suffice.

Thank you for the quick reply but the Employer clearly said they will not accept my form until I have a check with my printed name on it.

Dear All,

I am from Bangalore, I was working with the one private concern from Dec'09 to Sep'14 for almost nearby 5 years. Due to some internal process issue. I have been terminated from the service immediately. I have applied and submitted the PF Withdrawal form at my old office for processing. Noe they are not processed and kept on hold without processing the EPF amount. Since the PF amount pending is for 5 years.

I request any seniors to support to get the PF Amount from my old concern immediately.

Thanks and regards
