EPFO TRUTH ENGINE · REF CLM-2026-070301
Waiting on the grievance you already filed
Give it a few days before escalating again. Filing on top of an open grievance does not speed it up, and the next step opens on its own once this one stalls.
The honest status
EPFO has taken the money out and not sent it to you
₹1,20,000 · 54 days since you filed · 34 days past EPFO’s own 20-day limit
Your passbook shows ₹1,20,000 was taken out on 2026-07-19, but your bank has received nothing.
Your passbook says settled, but the member portal still says submitted at portal.
Your claim status moved backwards. This is an EPFO system fault, not something you did.

Three systems. Three different answers.
EPFO never shows you these together, which is why nobody can tell what is actually happening to their own money.
| System | What it says | As of |
|---|---|---|
| EPFO member portal | submitted at portal | 2026-07-28 |
| EPFO passbook | ₹1,20,000 debited | 2026-07-19 |
| Your bank account | nothing received | 2026-08-26 |
- Your passbook shows ₹1,20,000 was taken out on 2026-07-19, but your bank has received nothing.
- Your passbook says settled, but the member portal still says submitted at portal.
- Your claim status moved backwards. This is an EPFO system fault, not something you did.
EPFO has your money and has not released it
The amount has already left your PF account but has not reached your bank. Nothing you submitted is wrong. This is a disbursal hold on EPFO’s side, and it is affecting a large number of claims filed in the same window.
