Do you know how much time it takes to settle pf claim? I am trying to claim my pf need to understand the timeline.
If you choose the online auto-settlement process for the PF claim, it takes only 3 business days or 72 hours. I chose this one, and within 3 days, I received the money in my account.
Fortunately, all advance claims fall under the auto-settlement category, such as your illness, marriage, education and buying a house, as mentioned on the official website of EPFO (Employee Provident Fund Organisation).
But if you go for the offline settlement, it usually takes longer. It takes up to 20 days to settle your PF claim. That’s because of the manual checking process. And honestly, small issues like failure to link with your Aadhaar card, wrong banking details, or even problems with the UAN can delay it even more.
