EPF subscribers can withdraw 75% of their PF balance if they have been unemployed for over a month. If the unemployment period extends beyond two months, one can withdraw the remaining 25% balance, too. Money Today outlines 10 steps you can follow to get your EPF money online easily
Sign in to the UAN Member Portal using your UAN and password.
Click on the ‘Online Services’ tab and choose ‘Claim (Form-31, 19,10C & 10D)’ from the drop-down menu to select the relevant EPF advance withdrawal form.

Click on ‘Yes’ to sign the certificate of undertaking and proceed further.
Click on the ‘Proceed for Online Claim’ option.
Select ‘PF Advance (Form 31)’, for instance, in case you wish to withdraw your funds online partially.
A fresh section of the form will open, wherein you have to choose the ‘Purpose for which advance is required’, the amount required and the employee’s address (in case of partial withdrawals). It is worth noting that all options for which the employee is not eligible for withdrawal will be mentioned in red.
Tick on the certification and submit your application.
You may be required to submit scanned documents based on the purpose for which you have filled the EPF claim form.
Once your withdrawal request is approved, the money will be withdrawn from your EPF account and deposited in the bank account that you mentioned at the time of filling out the withdrawal form.
