What does Claim Status Pending at DA Accounts mean?

If your claim status is showing as pending at DA it means it is stuck at the EPFO office. The approval process in EPFO goes through DA(Dealing Assitant), AO(Assessing Officer) and CO(Cash officer) as shown in the image below.

In EPFO,  Dealing Assistant(DA), is the first person who checks the PF claim applied. He may approve or reject your claim. Once your claim is approved by the dealing assistant then the chances of your claim rejection are very low.  If your claim is rejected by the DA then your claim status will be changed to reject, and the reason for rejection will be mentioned in the PF claim status portal. Based on the reason of rejection you need to rectify and proceed further. Some of the reasons for rejection of your claim by DA

  • Mismatch of your details on the PF account and bank passbook or cheque.
  • If the name is not printed on the uploaded cheque.
  • If PAN and Form 15g are not submitted for eligible cases.

Once DA approves the PF claim then claim is sent to the AO (Accounts Officer),

After approval of AO, the claim is sent to CO ( Cash Officer). Cash officer deposits your EPF claim amount into your bank account through NEFT.
