Your Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) represents a major retirement asset for most Indian workers. Yet nearly 1 in 4 discover issues like stuck funds only during withdrawal attempts, facing rejections that delay access.
Checking balance on the EPFO portal isn't enough—it misses broken service history, EPS pension miscalculations, or KYC mismatches that trigger rejections. A forensic EPF audit scans your full UAN to spot these risks early.
The Blind Application Trap (Why Audit Before Claiming)
Applying for EPF withdrawal without verification mirrors boarding a flight with an expired passport—you get rejected at the gate over minor data errors. EPFO data shows ~26% rejection rate in 2023-24, mainly from KYC, date mismatches, or overlaps.
Key 2025 realities:
Over ₹8,500 crore sits in unclaimed/inoperative EPF accounts.
Claim timelines vary by city: Hyderabad (20-32 days) vs Kolkata (50-74 days) for manual cases.
Auto-settlements up to ₹5 lakh now process faster (3-20 days).
What Makes Kustodian's EPF Audit Tool Unique
India's first automated diagnostic scans your complete PF profile—service history, passbook, contributions, KYC, bank details, and more—to predict rejection risks before filing.
Unlike EPFO's submission portal, it actively analyses data patterns and flags even subtle issues like outdated contact info or contribution gaps.

Our tool goes beyond basics, identifying a wide range of hidden issues that block claims:

EPS Pension Gaps: Spot missing wages, NCP errors, or ledger discrepancies, cutting lifelong benefits.
Pending Transfers & Verification Holds: Flag "Subject to Verification" statuses despite appearing complete.
KYC/Bank Mismatches: Validate name/DOB, Aadhaar/PAN alignment, and outdated IFSC post-mergers.
Multiple UANs & Mapping Errors: Detect split accounts or wrong UAN linkages, complicating access.
Contribution & Admin Discrepancies: Identify wrong amounts, ineligible credits, or filing errors.
Outdated Contact Details: Catch mobile/email mismatches blocking OTPs and resets.
