Employees can withdraw funds from an unclaimed EPF account by submitting a claim form. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) allows employees to log on to their EPF account and submit a claim form online. Employees will then have to submit it at the EPFO office.
The money will be credited to their account upon approval and consideration.
The EPFO website also allows individuals to check their claim status online. Individuals can also check the status using UMANG app.
