Procedure to get PF Balance Certificate and A/C statement from PF OFFICE-INDIA

[Ramesh Ainam]

Dear Aspirants,

*****This is for Employees working in India if they want to use their accumulated PF amount as PROOF OF FUNDS for CIC*****

We all know that CIC and SINP accept Employees' provident fund amount as proof of funds. But, I am not sure if CIC accepts online statements downloaded from EPF/UAN website because it will not have any attestation or digital signatures. So, I have gone through this procedure today to get my "Provident Fund Account Balance Certificate" and "Provident Fund Account Statement" directly from PF office in Hyderabad, India.

Here we go:

1. You need to write a letter to the Regional PF Commissioner requesting for these documents.
(Letter Specimen attached in the below link: **1.Request_Letter.jpg**)
2. You need to go to PF office where your PF account belongs to during weekdays (saturday and sunday are holidays) after 10:00 AM IST.
3. There would be a "Facilitation Center" or "Help Center" at the entrance for addressing daily visitors' requests. An official will listen to your request and provide necessary information. Please approach this official and show him your request letter and tell him what you need.
Important Note: If he says that no such letters/certificates will be provided in PF office, you can argue with him saying such letters are issued to my friends recently and also tell him that PF customer care suggested to get this letter from PF office directly. Then, he will shut his mouth and proceed further. It happened in my case.
4. He will then check all your details in his computer, once satisfied he will give you a receipt and asks you to go and meet Accounts officer in Accounts section.
(Receipt specimen attached in the below link: **2.Receipt.jpg**)
5. Then, you need to go and provide your request letter and receipt to the officer in-charge in Accounts section. He will scrutiny your account details and asks you to come and collect the letter and statement either on the same day or after a couple of days.

Note:
* No cost is involved in this procedure and I did not pay a rupee to anyone in PF office.
* They will not attest the statement copies downloaded from UAN website. They have their own format.
* You might have to take leave for a day and then get this work done. So, plan properly.
* The officers in PF office do not know anything about proof of funds concept. You might have to explain them to get your work done smoothly. * They do not even have a format for PF balance certificate. Whatever you write in your request letter, they will replicate the same.
* Make sure you have "Authorized signatures and stamps" on the certificate/statements you get.
* You can download UAN ID card from UAN website and upload it along with these documents while applying for visa through eAPR.

If you need more details, please feel free to get in touch with me through this forum.

Hi Ramesh,

Thanks for sharing this information, is of so much help for me. Along with PF can I show Stocks, if Yes, how do I show it kind of format or statement.

Is there any other province which accepts such proof of funds other than CASH in Savings accounts?

-VK

I don't think you can show stocks as POF. The funds have to be liquid and readily transferable.

Hi Ramesh,

Did mycic accept your application with the Pf. I ask because i am thinking of doing same. Please do let me know as it is urgent

Thanks Ramesh for sharing this information
Do you know if we can use PPF account balance too as PoF?

 

[balaji.s]

Hi Team,

Thanks to all the members for helping the fresh applicants like me.
I am applying for express entry as Primary applicant accompanied by my wife(secondary applicant).
For the POF, I will be showcasing my Bank balance and EPF(Employee provident funds, India).
My query is, can I submit my wife's EPF balance(close to 8000 CAD) as one of the proofs? Will it be considered as POF, as it is solely owned by my spouse(Not a joint account). Please clarify.

Thanks
Balaji S
