Steps to avail Advance

1. Login to UAN account : https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/

2. Your KYC should be added and approved by the employer. Go to 'Manage' and click on "KYC", your Bank, PAN and Aadhaar should be available under 'Digitally Approved KYC'. If this is missing then you cannot go for this benefit. You will have to add KYC first and then ask your employer to approve this KYC using a digital signature.

3. Then go to 'Online Services' where you will verify your bank account number by entering the last four digits of your bank account number which is already added in KYC.

4. Next, you will select the option "PF advance (Form 31)" I want to apply for and then the purpose of advance as "OUTBREAK OF PANDEMIC (COVID-19)"

5. Next, you will enter the amount of advance require and your detailed address and then upload a scanned copy of cheque or passbook. The amount you enter should be valid as per the amended scheme, else this claim will get rejected.

6. The last step is to generate an Aadhaar-based OTP. Once your claim is processed, the amount will be credited directly to the bank account within the next 10 to 15 days. Aadhaar OTP will be sent to the mobile number registered with your AADHAAR.
