The cumbersome procedure to withdraw provident fund or pension will likely come to an end soon, with the EPFO developing two new softwares (apps) to make the entire process digital. One of the softwares will be for PF subscribers and the other, for pensioners. The government is also planning to get all the regional offices on board with its new system, to make sure that PF and pension subscribers no longer have to go to the offices to get details and updates about PF. Under the current system, to withdraw the PF, it is necessary to fill the form 10 c and Form 19. It will also give you updates on the actions that are being taken on your complaint only by providing the complaint number.
