To avoid having your claim for an EPF withdrawal rejected, follow these simple steps. First, confirm that the EPF account has your current name, bank account number, and Aadhaar details. Verify that your Aadhaar and EPF account are linked. Check the reason for the withdrawal once more, and make sure the supporting paperwork is correct. Make sure your Universal Account phone (UAN) is active and linked to your mobile device in order to verify your OTP.
