EPFO claim rejected or 'returned': Know why and how to fix errors

The article from Business Standard discusses common reasons for the rejection or return of claims by the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) and provides guidance on how to rectify these issues. Claims can be rejected due to discrepancies in personal details like name, date of birth, or Aadhaar number, or if the KYC documents are not updated or incorrect. Other reasons include incomplete or incorrect forms, missing signatures, or if the claim amount exceeds the available balance. To fix these errors, members are advised to ensure all personal details match those in EPFO records, update KYC details, and verify all entered information before submission. The article also suggests using the UMANG app or the EPFO's online portal to check and update details, and to contact the employer or EPFO office for unresolved issues. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of understanding the specific reasons for rejection, which are usually communicated via SMS or email, and taking corrective action promptly.
