PF is the popular name for EPF or Employees’ Provident Fund. It is a government-established savings scheme for employees of the organised sector. EPFO provides various services through the centralised mobile app of the government, called Umang. The app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store/App Store.
Employees will be able to check the PF status of the claim after they have applied to withdraw their EPF funds. This facility is meant for Employees’ Provident Fund members/subscribers/pensioners who have submitted a claim in any of the EPFO offices across the country. Using this facility, one can track the status of a claim submitted. The only prerequisite is that you must provide your Provident Fund account number and PF Office state to check the status of your claim.
