What is the difference between Form 20 and Form 10C?
▼
Form 20 is used for EPS withdrawal (pension corpus) or Scheme Certificate. Form 10C is for claiming the pension contribution or for Scheme Certificate in certain cases. Post-2022, EPFO merged some forms, but Form 20 remains for pension-specific claims.
Should I withdraw EPS or take a Scheme Certificate?
▼
If you have less than 10 years of service, withdrawal is allowed. With 10+ years, you can opt for a Scheme Certificate to preserve pension eligibility for future employment. We analyze your service history and guide you.
How long does it take to get EPS withdrawal?
▼
Typically 15–30 days after employer approval, provided KYC and service details are correct. Rejections can delay. Our follow-up ensures faster processing.
Can I file Form 20 if my previous employer is closed?
▼
Yes, but it requires additional documentation like Annexure K and proof of employer closure. We handle such complex cases using our defunct employer expertise.
What documents are needed for Form 20?
▼
UAN, Aadhaar, PAN, bank account details, date of exit, and sometimes service history from previous employers. We help you compile everything correctly.
