How to Withdraw PF Money Using Your Mobile (Step-by-Step)
Alright, let’s get you sorted. Here’s how you can withdraw PF money using your mobile in minutes:
- Get Your UAN (Universal Account Number)
First, make sure you have your UAN. It’s your key to everything EPFO. - Link Your UAN with Your Mobile Number
Your mobile number must be registered with EPFO so you can verify withdrawals through OTP. - Use UPI for a Hassle-Free Experience
Link your EPFO account with your UPI app (like PhonePe, Google Pay, or Paytm). - Once linked, you can easily send a withdrawal request.
- Submit a Withdrawal Request on the EPFO Portal
Log in with your UAN and OTP. - Select the withdrawal option (final settlement, partial withdrawal, or advance).
- Enter your UPI ID or bank details.
- Get Your Money Fast!
Once approved, your money is transferred directly to your bank account via UPI usually within minutes!
What About ATM Withdrawals?
If you’re not comfortable with apps or online payments, you can still use an ATM to withdraw your PF money. Here’s how:
- Visit your bank’s ATM (or a partner bank’s ATM).
- Use your bank card to request a withdrawal linked to your EPFO account.
- You might need to contact your bank branch first to link your PF account to your ATM card (some banks require this step).
