Why Your PF Balance is Wrong
Recently, many bosses missed the pay dates. Specifically, they took the cash but did not pay it. Then, tech bugs can also cause a mismatch. In fact, a wrong ID can block your cash. Therefore, watch your account every single month.
Now, check your pay slips against your book. Next, look for months with no pay entries. After that, look for small pay gaps too. Finally, mark any months that look wrong. As a result of new rules, these are easy to see. Still, many people miss these gaps.
How to Spot the Mismatch
First, log in to the UAN site. Then, get your passbook to see the math. After that, look for months where pay is zero. Next, save a copy of the file. Finally, show these notes to your boss.
Today, you can use a phone app too. Thus, you can track your cash on the go. In fact, the app shows updates in real time. Meanwhile, the web site stays slow.
Step-by-Step Guide to Fix Errors
First, file a note with your firm’s HR team. Then, give them two weeks to fix the gap. After that, use the EPFiGMS site for a formal claim. Next, enter your UAN and the month of the error. Finally, keep your ticket number to track the fix.
Reality Check
Reality Check: The state says the system works well. Still, the site often goes down. In fact, many users could not log in for days. Therefore, a web fix is not always fast. Meanwhile, bosses may blame the web for late pay. Yet, the law says they must pay you.
The Loopholes
The Loopholes: If your firm shuts down, the cash is hard to get. In fact, many lose funds because they do not check. Also, some firms use one ID for two staff. Therefore, make sure your ID is yours alone.
What This Means for You
Recently, the law made Aadhaar links a must. Now, your cash stays safe if your ID is set. First, check your profile on the site. Then, make sure your bank info is right. Next, verify your phone number too. Indeed, a clean file stops most bugs. 
Next Steps
Now, open your UAN book right away. Then, see if your last pay is there. Would you like me to draft a short note for your boss to fix a gap?
