Inoperative EPF accounts

 
Settling inoperative EPF accounts

The EPFO has introduced a helpdesk for employees' provident fund account holders to settle inoperative accounts. An account becomes inoperative when the balance is not withdrawn for more than 36 months after the amount standing to its credit becomes payable. The facility allows inoperative accounts to be closed or merged with an operative account.

Registration for UAN

It is a good idea to first get a Unique Account Number (UAN) for EPF before initiating the process. The procedure to obtain a UAN has been explained at uanmembers.epfoservices.in. Access the helpdesk

Second, access the EPFO Inoperative Account Helpdesk at http:www.epfindia.com at Home Page >> Inoperative AC Helpdesk.Once we enter the helpdesk menu, one needs to click on the tab "First time User" to register the query.

Query registration

The tab opens into a form asking for problem details. The query has to be explained in not more than 1,000 characters. After writing the query and clicking on the "Next" button, the form asks for details like PF account number, establishment details, date of joining and reason for leaving. Contact and KYC details such as aadhaar, PAN, bank account numbers and IFSC code has to be entered.

PIN verification

Once all details are submitted, a PIN is generated. The member's mobile number is verified through the PIN sent on the mobile.Once this verification is done, a reference number is sent as a text message to the member for future reference.

Call from EPFO helpdesk

Once the registration process is carried out successfully, the member will soon get a call from the EPFO helpdesk in order to address and resolve the query and to settle the inoperative EPF account.

Interest is not credited to the EPF account once it becomes inoperative.

Providing a valid mobile number is compulsory so that the help desk can contact the subscriber to resolve the issue.

Debt Mutual Fund Dividends are Taxable

DDT is deducted when a non-equity fund declares dividends. Equity and balanced fund dividends are tax-free The AMC is correct to deduct the dividend distribution tax (DDT) as it is mandated by tax laws. DDT in mutual funds is deducted every time a non-equity fund declares dividends. Equity fund and balanced fund dividends are tax-free . It is possible that you have invested in a non-equity fund for the first time or have received the dividend under a non-equity fund for the first time. That is why this is the first occasion when you have come across DDT.   The rate at which non-equity schemes deduct DDT has also gone up after the July 2014 budget. This is due to a change in calculation methodology. Earlier, if the fund has to declare a dividend of R 100, it used to make a provision for R 128.3, paying R 28.3 to the taxman and distributing the balance to the investor. This allowed the investor to bear less tax since the effective tax rate was 22.07 per ce...

Know the loan-eligibility before buying a house

WHILE on a house-hunting spree, prospective buyers do a great amount of homework before identifying their dream home - the location, property rates in the vicinity, carpet area, developer's reputation, proximity to the railway station/bus stop and so on. Once these aspects score high on the satisfaction front, a decision is made. However, very rarely do the buyers evaluate their own eligibility for getting a loan before finalising the house. Often, the loan sanction is taken for granted. As a result, they get a shock when their loan request is rejected. Therefore, it is best to objectively assess your repayment capacity and take into account other factors before applying for a loan. Here are a few reasons why your loan request could be turned down: Inadequate Income: The bank or HFC may refuse a loan if your earnings fall short of the minimum desired income level prescribed by the lender. Irregular income streams, too, could play spoilsport. At your end, to eliminate this possibi...
