EPFO Simplified claim Process

In a major overhaul of its claims process to ease compliance burden of subscribers, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation has come out with a system for subscribers to submit their claim forms directly to the EPFO without attestation of employers.

For this, the EPFO has come out with new Composite Claim Forms (CCF). However, the facility for submission of claims forms directly to the EPFO would be limited to those subscribers whose Aadhaar number and bank account details have been seeded with their Universal Account Number (UAN). The CCF (Aadhar) will replace earlier Forms 19 (UAN), Form 10C (UAN) and Form 31 (UAN).

For those who have not seeded their Aadhar number and Bank account the new CCF (non-Aadhar) would be applicable for lodging claims. These subscribers would need to have their claims forms attested by the employer before submission to EPFO. The new CCF (non-Aadhar) will replace existing forms 19, 10C & 31.

EPFO has also decided to allow self-attestation by subscribers of several document required for partial withdrawals of accumulated corpus of members’ EPF funds.
