Sub: Mandatory submission of claims through online mode in case of settlement amount is above Rs. 10.00 lacs.

Madam/Sir,

Based on the decision taken in the meeting chaired by CPFC on 17.01.2018, I am directed to convey that in case the amount of claim settlement is above Rs.10.00 lacs for PF claims and Rs.5.00 lacs in respect of the EPS withdrawal claims, the claim form must be accepted through online mode only. The bank account of such PF members should have been seeded and verified in the system before settling such claims. Accordingly, all claims exceeding the above limits should not be accepted in the physical form.

2. This should be given wide publicity to the employees/employers through available options, including displaying visibly in the office.

[This issues with the approval of Central P.F. Commissioner].

Yours faithfully,

(Udita Chowdhary)
Addl. CPFC (F&A)
