EPFO Claim Status provides the real time update of the progress of your application made for PF transfer or withdrawal. It provides transparency in the processing of EPF application from initial submission of application to disbursement of funds. The real time tracking allows the EPF member to know the stage where the application stands in the pipeline. If there is any bottleneck, the member can know about the estimated time of credit of the funds into their bank account.
This blog provides a comprehensive guide on checking your EPF claim status.​

EPFO claim status refers to the current status of the application on the EPFO withdrawal. It gives a quick insight on the withdrawal process development, allowing applicants to address potential delays or errors effectively. 
To know the status of your claim, the following information should be available to you:
Keep the above information/documents handy, and then follow the below steps to check the status of your claim online.
 
The EPFO has made both an online and offline process accessible to check the status of your requisition. Below are the ways to check the status of your EPFO withdrawal claim online.
Step 1: Go to the EPFO website. Click on ‘Services’ > ‘For Employees’ option.
Step 2: Click on ‘Know Your Claim Status’.
Step 3: Click on the link, and it will redirect you to the member passbook application.
Step 4: Login by entering the Universal Account Number (UAN), password and captcha.
Step 5: Now, you will find the option > ‘View Claim Status’. Click on the same and view the progress on your claim status.
For the claimant’s benefit, the EPFO also sends alerts via SMS if a mobile number has been linked to the account. The SMS is sent in the following two instances.
1. On receipt of claim application.
2. On transfer of funds to the claimant’s bank account.
There could be income tax implications on your EPFO withdrawal under specific scenarios.       
Step 1: Log in to the UAN Member Portal through UAN and Password.
Step 2: Under the ‘Online Services’ tab, click on the ‘Track Claim Status’ option.
Step 3: The details regarding the status of the withdrawal claim will appear on the screen.
Users who have opted for an offline option will not be able to track the EPFO claim status online via this portal. However, they can track easily through the EPFO’s official website.
Employees can check their PF transfer/withdrawal claim status online using the UMANG app. The UMANG app must be downloaded and is available on both iOS and Android platforms. However, it is essential that the employee has updated their mobile number with their UAN. If your mobile number is already integrated with your UAN, then you don’t enter UAN anywhere in the process mentioned below.
Step 1: Download and install the UMANG app on your mobile phone using Play Store or App Store. 
Step 2: Log in to your EPFO account, there will be 2 options – ‘MPIN’ and ‘Login with OTP’. Enter your mobile number and select your preferred option.
Step 3: If you opt to ‘Login with OTP, enter the received OTP in the given space to log into your EPFO account.
After entering your OTP, click on ‘Login’.
Step 4: You will then be redirected to the EPFO portal main page. Here, select ‘Employee Centric Services’.
Step 5: Select ‘Track Claim’ and you will then be redirected to a page where you can view your claim status.
Step 6: If you have no claims, there will be nothing displayed on the screen. In case you have claims, the screen will display your claim status details.
The EPFO claim status can be checked offline through the following means:
Give a missed call to 9966044425 from your mobile number registered with the UAN portal. You must ensure your Aadhaar, PAN, and bank details are linked with your UAN. The system will send an SMS with claim or balance details after the call—free of charge.
Employees can check their EPFO withdrawal/transfer claim status by calling the EPFO 24×7 customer care number – 1800 118 005. Employees need to keep their PF Account Number or UAN handy as the helpline officer will ask for it for checking the status of the claims.

The SMS will provide basic details about claim status or balance. An employee needs to link their mobile number with the UAN portal. An SMS needs to be sent from that mobile number to 7738299899.
