If the data is to be believed, about 1.6 crore employees are not able to get their own money. In a way, these employees are just making rounds. On the other hand, EPFO has given some reasons, which seem small in appearance, but due to them, the PF money gets stopped. Let us tell you about the reasons why the money can get stuck.
For example, if you provide small information like your name or date of birth, then your PF claim can be rejected. EPFO rules are very strict. If there is any mistake in the name, date of birth, date of starting and leaving the job while applying, or if it does not match, then the PF claim can be rejected. In such a situation, do not make any mistakes while applying.
Linking of UAN with Aadhaar
If your Aadhaar is not linked to your UAN (Universal Account Number), then there can be a problem with your PF claim. Usually, the EPFO portal accepts your KYC and also shows Approved, but it shows the same KYC status as Undefined at other places, due to which the claim can be stopped.
Money can be stopped with two UANs
If you changed your job and due to a mistake in the EPFO system, two UANs have been created, then your PF claim can be stopped. According to the rules, a person can have only one UAN. When both UANs are linked to the same number, merging becomes even more difficult. Due to this also the money can also be stopped.
If there is any mistake in your account or details, then the PF claim can be rejected. Many times, people make small mistakes while filling out the form, such as filling in the bank account number incorrectly or not giving the correct name of the employer. Due to these small mistakes, the PF claim can also be stopped.
Many times, the relationship is also recorded incorrectly while claiming PF, such as the mother’s name as the father’s or the husband’s name as private, which the PF claim can be stopped.
