What is stopping it

1 Stops the claim

Your last employer never marked your exit date

Why it fails
Without it the system reads you as still employed, so a final settlement is refused as premature. One dropdown and one date, on somebody else's screen.
Who has to fix it
Your employer
How long
15–60 days
The rule — Missing employer exit date
if your employer has not officially updated your date of exit on the portal, the system blocks final settlement

2 Stops the claim

You have two or more UANs

Why it fails
Two accounts, two service histories, neither one complete. Most people do not know this has happened to them until a claim or a transfer fails.
Who has to fix it
The EPFO office
How long
30–90 days
The rule — duplicate UANs

3 Stops the claim

One bank account is mapped to more than one of your member IDs

Why it fails
The same account sits behind two accounts of yours. The system blocks the claim to prevent a double payment, even though only one is yours to claim.
Who has to fix it
The EPFO office
How long
15–45 days
The rule — field-reported rejection reason, no primary source located
My EPF claim was rejected due to the reason multiple member ID in the same bank account
