Provident Fund as Proof of Funds

[jamilnasir]

Hi,

I've come to know that provident fund is actually acceptable as a proof of funds. I want to know what documents do I need in order to fulfill the requirement?

Also, if someone has used a EPF or PF certificate, it will be great help if I could get a sample of that certificate.

Thanks

Yes, your information is correct. As a matter of fact, it worked in my case.

The good thing is that it's a very simple process, you simply need to ask your employer to issue a provident fund certificate on an official letterhead of the company. Just make sure of the following:

• your name is the same as in other documents
• your current designation
• your status as a full-time/part-time employee
• time since you've been working with your employer
• your current PF balance
• as mentioned earlier: printed on the official letterhead with company contact information and signatures of the relevant official
• most important: a statement confirming that this fund can be withdrawn at any time upon the employee's request or in case of his resignation.

I also submitted my bank account balance certificate as well, not the detailed statement as is required otherwise, just the account balance certificate.

All the best!

Yes it is. It worked for me as I described in my earlier post. Keep those steps in mind and it will be fine.

Hi folks,

I have a provident fund that can be withdrawn just when I leave the company due resignation or by my decision.
Can my case be considered as proof of funding?

Thank you!

 

[jamilnasir]

Yes, worked in my case.

UPDATE:
First hand report. I successfully got my PR in January 2019 using India EPFO statement as Proof of fund. Keep in mind that in my case I got a letter from the PF commissioner that the funds belong to me and there is no lien. Also, my entire fund requirement was not from EPF - It was only about 60% of the requirement.

Hi
I have stamped the online PF statements from my bank. Can it work as a replacement for PF certificate issued by EPFO?
Any suggestions would be of great help here. Thanks.
