What Form 10C is and why it matters
Form 10C serves as the official request to withdraw EPS funds or to obtain a Scheme Certificate. The submission is made to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) via the online member portal, streamlining pension-related actions under the scheme.
Who can apply
Eligible EPS members who are exiting service or who want a formal document for future benefits can file Form 10C. The form is commonly used when leaving the EPS or when a Scheme Certificate is required for records.
- Current or former EPS members seeking withdrawal of pension funds
- Applicants seeking a Scheme Certificate for reference
- Users with an active UAN and up-to-date EPFO profile
How to apply online
- Sign in to the EPFO member portal with your UAN and password
- Navigate to the Pension section and select Form 10C
- Verify your personal and pension details before submission
- Upload required documents such as identity proof and bank details where needed

What happens after submission
EPFO reviews the request and issues a Scheme Certificate or pension withdrawal confirmation online. You can track status on the portal and receive updates at your registered contact details.
