Question:

In pf website it isn showing .my payment is under process. Last from so many days but i still did not received my payment.request you to provide exact turn around time for provident fund payout.

Answer:

Harsh, Provided your tax affairs are in order, and you have submitted all the required documents (such as a copy of your ID, a completed instruction form stating where the money should go, and proof of banking details), the turnaround time for provident fund payout should be 4 to 8 weeks. You should follow up with the fund administrator to see what is holding up the process, to confirm they have received all the required documents, and that there were no problems with SARS that you need to resolve. If the administrator does not give you any joy, you should follow up with your previous HR department to ensure they follow up on this matter.
