EPFO recently launched “New EPF Withdrawal Forms”, which are called as Form 19 UAN, Form 10C UAN and Form 31 UAN. Now, employees can withdraw EPF without the employer signature.

Earlier if you plan to withdraw your EPF balance, the process was too lengthy. However, now the employees, who have their UAN and activated it, may withdraw it by directly submitting to regional EPFO.

What are the conditions to avail this facility?

You must have UAN number activated.

You must linked your Aadhaar number with UAN.

You must provided your Bank details with UAN.

You KYC have been verified by your employer using digital signatures.
