The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has given a big deal to the PF subscribers. Actually, the EPFO has provided the facility to apply for the Skim Certificate online through Form 10c. This update has been done on the Umang app, so that PF subscribers can apply online for the scheme certificate after leaving the job. Till now this facility was not available online.

When a PF member leaves the job, then after 2 months, by submitting form-19 and Form 10c, one can withdraw the entire money of PF and pension. But if he is willing to get monthly pension under EPS-95, then he can apply for FORM 10C (scheme certificate) instead of Form 10c.
