You can fill all such claim requests with ease and the employer can verify/correct member details, approve and submit the requests online through portal. For online submission of the claims, the Digital signature (Class II or above) of the authorized person is required.

Employer should have registered the digital signature certificate of his authorized signatories with EPFO.

The following are the pre-requisites to file the Transfer Claim online :
** Both previous and present member IDs (P.F. Account No.) should be available in EPFO database.

The member ID may not be available in EPFO database mainly due to following reasons :
** The employer has not yet submitted the return [Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR) or earlier returns prior to ECR] having the member ID.
** The employer has submitted the return [Electronic Challan cum Return or earlier returns prior to ECR] having the member ID, but the same has not been updated on the portal. The updation of OTCP has been planned on weekly basis.

Whether the member is required to be registered on Member Portal to file the Transfer Claim online :

The detailed process flow for the registration is available at the link availableon the Homepage of EPFO website epfindia.gov.in .

No, the member cannot edit his details i.e. father’s name, relationship, date of birth, date of joining, date of exit as available in the EPFO database.

What would happen if the member fills up date of birth which is different from that available in EPFO database :
The Member’s date of birth, if available in EPFO database, would act as validation while the claim is filed by the member. The member would be allowed three attempts to fill up the date of birth for validation against the date of birth in EPFO database (available on the basis of member details furnished by the employer). After three unsuccessful attempts, the member’s ID would be blocked for online submission of claim.
