[Resolved]  Employees Provident Fund Organization — FINAL SETTLEMENT OF EPF

Dear Sir My son (VIJAY DEVARAAJHAN, DOB:[protected] was in service from[protected] to[protected] with M/s BIRLASOFT LIMITED, 10th Floor Prakashdeep Building, 7 Tolstoy Marg New Delhi-110001. Then he resigned his job for better opportunity. Immediately he made claim for closure of EPF etc., by submitting all necessary documents with EPF office Newdelhi in 2005 itself. Since there was no response for the past 7 years he made petition with grievance CELL which has been registered with No. DELNO/E/2012/05500. The department has closed the case by sending a reply to him by mail dt.[protected]mail from: [protected]@epfindia.gov.in on[protected] am) as under: “This is with reference to your Grievance registered vide Registration Number DELNO/E/2012/05500. It is informed that after processing your grievance,the following action(s) has been taken: As per information provided by the concern account to PGHS, it is submitted that the form-19&10C received in this office of Shri Vijay Devaraajhan vide receipt No.25095238 and 25095239 dated 11/11/2005 were rejected and returned as the PF account No. DL/16995/2049 furnished by the member does not pertain to him. The correct PF Account No. is DL/16995/2051 as per office records. The PF account of the member Shri. Vijay Devaajhan is not yet settled whereas the PF account No. DL/16995/2049 had already been settled in the name of Shri. Pradeep, whose details could have been informed to the complainant, errouneously as the wrong PF PF No. was quoted by him in his earlier grievance.” Therefore, we are closing your grievance from this office.Please quote the same in your future correspondence” As per their statement since the Account No. quoted in the claim application is not pertaining to Vijay Devaraajhan the same was rejected and further stated that the correct Account No. is DL/16995/2051. The claim of application was sent to EPF office after endorsed by the Employer 7 years back. If the account number is wrong the same should have been sent to the Employer for correction instead of keeping quite. This also came to light but for of Grievance petition. A citizen/ employee resigned and claimed his money and the issue was pending for more than 7 years. Now they simply replied the account number not matched; already rejected and the correct number pertaining to Vijay Devaraajhan is DL/16995/2051 and confirmed that the PF account of Vijay Devaraajhan is not yet settled. When they know the correct number and the account is not yet settled they could have settled the issue by sending the same to the Employer for correction and issued the cheque with bank account number of Vijay. I request you to help me in this matter. Devarajan V
