The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has made it easier for members to track their PF claim status online without visiting any EPFO office. Whether you’ve applied for a withdrawal, pension, or transfer, you can check your EPF claim status quickly using your UAN and registered mobile number.
What is EPFO Claim Status
The EPFO claim status shows the progress of your provident fund claim application submitted through the EPFO portal. It helps employees know whether their request is submitted, under process, approved, or settled. The online system ensures full transparency and saves time for both employees and employers.
How to Check EPF Claim Status Online
You can check your claim status easily through the EPFO member portal. Follow these steps:
- Visit the EPFO member interface
- Log in using your UAN Login credentials (UAN and password)
- Go to the “Online Services” section
- Click “Track Claim Status” to view the current stage of your PF claim
Once you log in, you’ll see detailed information, including claim ID, type of claim (withdrawal, transfer, or pension), and the status (submitted, under process, approved, or settled).
Types of Claims You Can Track
Members can track several types of PF-related claims, such as:
- Final settlement of PF after leaving employment
- Partial withdrawal for medical, housing, or education purposes
- Pension withdrawal or scheme certificate
- PF transfer when changing jobs
All claim requests submitted through the PF Login portal or UMANG app can be tracked using this method.
Using PF Passbook to Verify Claim Updates
After your claim is settled, you can verify the credited amount using your PF Passbook. The passbook shows the latest transaction details, including any withdrawals or transfers made to your account.
The passbook also helps confirm that the claim amount has been successfully added to your bank account linked with your EPF.
Check PF Balance After Claim Settlement
Once your claim is approved, it’s good practice to check PF balance to confirm that the funds have been updated in your account. You can check it using the EPFO portal, SMS, or missed call service.
This ensures complete transparency and helps you verify that the withdrawn or transferred amount matches your claim request.
Offline Ways to Check PF Claim Status
If you prefer offline methods, EPFO also provides claim tracking via:
- SMS: Send “EPFOHO UAN ENG” to 7738299899 from your registered mobile number.
- Missed Call: Give a missed call to 9966044425 to receive claim and balance updates via SMS.
These quick options are especially helpful for employees who do not have easy internet access.
Common EPFO Claim Status Terms
When you check your pf claim status, you may come across the following terms:
- Submitted: Your claim form has been successfully received.
- Under Process: The EPFO office is reviewing your application.
- Approved: Your claim has been approved and is ready for payment.
- Settled: The amount has been transferred to your bank account.

Understanding these terms helps you know exactly where your claim stands and what to do next if there’s a delay.

- Download and open the UMANG app.
- Select “EPFO” from the list of services.
