What are the things required to track your claim status?

In order to track your claim status, you only need to know the following information:

• Your EPF account number

• EPF regional office of your employer

• Establishment/Company Code and Extension Code (if relevant)

Checking transaction status on your mobile app

You can download the mobile application from the EPFO website to check the status of your last transaction, using your pensioner or member account. This will also show you the status of your claim request, i.e., whether it is approved or pending.

SMS alerts on claim approval

If your EPF member account is linked to your mobile number, you can use the SMS facility to check if your withdrawal, pension, or transfer claim has moved to the approved status. The SMS is sent in the following instances:

• When the claim form has been received by the EPFO.
• When the claim has been approved and the corresponding amount has been moved to the bank account linked to the member.
