❓ FAQ

EPF Questions Answered

What is UAN and how do I activate it?
UAN (Universal Account Number) is a 12-digit number allotted by EPFO to every employee. It links all your PF accounts across employers. To activate it, visit the EPFO member portal, enter your UAN and date of birth, verify via OTP to your Aadhaar-linked mobile, and set a password. FOGS can guide you through the entire process or handle it on your behalf.
How do I withdraw my PF after leaving a job?
To withdraw your PF, you need an activated UAN with Aadhaar-seeded and KYC-approved account. Submit Form 19 (full withdrawal) or Form 10C (pension withdrawal) online via the EPFO member portal or through your employer. FOGS handles the entire claim process — form preparation, submission, tracking and grievance resolution if there are delays.
What is the difference between EPF and EPS?
EPF (Employee Provident Fund) is the main savings account where both employer (12% of basic) and employee (12% of basic) contribute. EPS (Employee Pension Scheme) is funded from the employer's 12% — 8.33% goes to EPS and 3.67% to EPF. EPS builds your pension corpus, while EPF is your lump-sum retirement savings.
How long does PF withdrawal take?
Online PF withdrawals with verified KYC typically take 7–20 working days from claim submission. If there are KYC mismatches, employer attestation issues or EPFO backlog, it can take longer. FOGS tracks your claim daily and escalates to the relevant EPFO regional office if there are unusual delays.
What is Form 13 and when do I need it?
Form 13 is the PF Transfer Form used to transfer your PF balance from your previous employer's account to your current employer's account when you change jobs. Without this transfer, you may have multiple PF accounts which complicates withdrawal and reduces pension benefits. FOGS handles Form 13 preparation, employer attestation and EPFO follow-up.
Can I withdraw PF for medical emergencies or home purchase?
Yes. Under EPF rules, you can make partial withdrawals (Form 31 advance) for medical emergencies, home purchase/construction, wedding, education, and other specified purposes — subject to minimum service and balance conditions. FOGS assesses your eligibility and handles the advance withdrawal claim end-to-end.
What are the EPF compliance requirements for employers?
Employers must: register with EPFO when headcount crosses 20 employees, enroll all eligible employees within 1 month of joining, submit ECR (Electronic Challan cum Return) by the 15th of every month, pay contributions (employer 12% + employee 12% of basic) on time, and file annual returns. FOGS manages all of this for Kerala employers.
What happens if an employer delays EPF payment?
Late EPF payment attracts interest at 12% per annum under Section 7Q of the EPF Act, plus damages of 5%–25% of arrears under Section 14B depending on the delay period (5% for delays up to 2 months, 10% for 2–4 months, 15% for 4–6 months, 25% for 6+ months). FOGS ensures all filings are completed before the 15th to avoid any penalties.
How do I update my name, date of birth or father's name in EPFO?
Corrections to name, date of birth and other details require a Joint Declaration Form signed by both you and your employer, submitted to the regional EPFO office along with supporting documents (Aadhaar, PAN, birth certificate). FOGS prepares the joint declaration and coordinates the submission for quick resolution.
What is the EPF interest rate?
The EPFO board declares the EPF interest rate annually. For 2023–24, the rate was 8.25% per annum, credited to member accounts at the end of each financial year. Interest is calculated on the monthly running balance and compounded annually.
How long does PF withdrawal take?
Online PF withdrawals typically take 7–20 working days after claim submission with verified KYC. If your UAN is Aadhaar-seeded and KYC is fully updated, it's faster. FOGS tracks your claim daily and escalates to the relevant EPFO office if delayed.
My UAN is not activated — can FOGS help?
Yes. FOGS guides you through UAN activation, Aadhaar seeding, KYC update and employer verification — completely end to end, without you needing to visit any EPFO office.
What is the monthly EPF compliance requirement for Kerala employers?
Employers must submit the ECR and pay the EPF+EPS challan by the 15th of every month. Late payment attracts 12% interest p.a. FOGS handles calculation, filing and payment on your behalf so you never miss the deadline.
