Quick answer

EPF Form 20 is filed with EPFO to claim the accumulated Provident Fund balance when an EPF member dies before withdrawing it. The registered nominee — or the legal heir if no nominee exists — provides the deceased member's details, the claimant's details and bank account, and family particulars. It covers only the PF balance; Form 10D (or 10C) handles pension. With JustFill you upload the blank EPFO Form 20 PDF, the AI detects every field, and you complete and download it free.

What is EPF Form 20?

Form 20 is filed with EPFO when an EPF member dies before withdrawing their Provident Fund balance. The nominee, or legal heir if no nominee is registered, uses this form to claim the accumulated PF amount. Form 20 covers only the PF balance — the separate Form 10D (or 10C) is used for monthly pension or pension-fund withdrawal under EPS.

Who fills out EPF Form 20?

Registered nominee on the deceased member's PF account
Surviving spouse or children, if no nominee is registered
Legal heirs claiming PF balance when there is no nominee and no spouse/children
Guardian filing on behalf of a minor nominee or heir

3Submitting without legal heir certificate when there's no registered nominee.
4Bank details in the deceased's name instead of the claimant's — funds are credited to the living claimant.
