This facility will be available to all those subscribers whose Universal (or portable PF) Account Number (UAN) is activated and seeded with the KYC details like bank account and Aadhaar number. Such subscribers may submit claims in Form-19, Form-lOC and Form 31 directly to the Commissioner without attestation of their employers for fast settlement of claims.
These new forms are of half a page size compared to two to three pages applications used at present for withdrawal of PF. According to EPFO website, 2.13 crore subscribers have activated their UANs. The body has alloted 5.65 crore UANs so far.
