Frequently Asked Questions — EPFO Cheque & Passbook Upload

Everything you need to know about uploading bank proof for EPFO PF withdrawal claims.

What is the exact file size limit for EPFO Member Portal bank proof uploads?
The EPFO Unified Member Portal (member.epfindia.gov.in) for PF withdrawal claims via Form 19 (final PF settlement), Form 31 (partial withdrawal), and Form 10C (pension withdrawal) strictly mandates that the uploaded bank document — either a cancelled cheque leaf or the first page of a bank passbook — must be in JPEG/JPG format and must not exceed 500 KB. Files larger than 500 KB trigger an immediate upload error. Most phone camera photos of cheques are 2–8 MB and must be compressed before upload.
Why does the EPFO portal reject cancelled cheques with "Image Not Clear / Name Not Legible"?
Over 35% of EPFO online claim rejections occur because smartphone photos of cheques are compressed too aggressively by generic tools, blurring the pre-printed account holder name, account number, or bank IFSC code to illegibility. EPFO field officers manually verify that these details match the member's UAN profile. Kagazo applies an adaptive text-contrast sharpening filter that preserves printed bank text while compressing the file safely below 500 KB.
Does the cancelled cheque need to have my name pre-printed?
Yes, as per current EPFO guidelines. A cancelled cheque MUST have the member's name, bank account number, and IFSC code pre-printed on the cheque leaf by the bank. Self-written name or ink-stamped names are generally not accepted for online claim processing. If your cheque book does not have your name pre-printed (common with older accounts), submit the first page of your bank passbook with bank stamp and officer signature instead.
Can I upload a bank passbook front page instead of a cancelled cheque for EPFO?
Yes. The EPFO portal accepts either a cancelled cheque leaf OR the first page of your bank passbook. The passbook page must clearly show: (1) the member's full name as registered with EPFO, (2) the complete bank account number, (3) the 11-character IFSC code, and (4) the branch address with an official bank stamp or officer's signature. The Kagazo EPFO tool works identically for both document types.
My EPFO claim was approved but the bank transfer failed. What went wrong with the cheque?
Approved claims can fail at bank transfer if the IFSC code in the uploaded cheque photo was blurry and misread by the EPFO data-entry officer, resulting in an incorrect IFSC code entered in the system. Always double-check that the 11-character IFSC code is clearly legible in your uploaded image before submitting. Kagazo's text clarity booster specifically addresses this.
What should I do if my bank account is linked to a different branch than my passbook?
Upload the passbook front page of the active bank account where you want the PF funds credited — the one whose account number is registered in your UAN profile. If you recently changed your bank account, update it in your UAN profile first (under "Manage > KYC > Bank") and wait for employer approval before filing the claim.
Why does the EPFO portal say "Invalid file format" even though my file is JPEG?
Some Android camera apps and iPhone share sheets export HEIC files with a .jpg extension, causing MIME type mismatch errors. Additionally, screenshots saved from WhatsApp or email are sometimes WebP format with a .jpeg extension. Kagazo auto-detects the true file format regardless of extension and converts everything to genuine JPEG before compression.
What resolution should I photograph my cancelled cheque at?
For the best results, photograph your cancelled cheque or passbook with: (1) a steady hand or flat surface (no camera shake), (2) bright natural daylight or a desk lamp directly above the document (no harsh shadows), (3) the camera held directly above (no angle distortion), and (4) the full cheque leaf or passbook page visible in the frame. Camera resolution of 8 MP or higher gives the best text sharpness before compression. The file will likely be 3–8 MB and Kagazo will compress it to under 500 KB.
Can I use a net banking screenshot as bank proof for EPFO?
Generally, no. EPFO requires physical banking proof — either a cancelled cheque leaf or passbook front page — because these bear official bank account details and are harder to fabricate. A net banking screenshot with account details is typically rejected by EPFO field officers during verification.
Are my private banking documents uploaded to your servers?
Never. Your financial documents never leave your browser. All contrast enhancements, JPEG compression, and file size optimization execute 100% locally in your device's volatile RAM using HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly. Zero bytes are stored on any Kagazo server. When you close the tab, all document memory is immediately purged.

Privacy Architecture — Your Financial Documents Never Leave Your Device

All image processing — including adaptive text-contrast filtering, JPEG quality optimization, and file size reduction — executes 100% inside your browser's volatile RAM using HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly. Your bank documents, cancelled cheques, and passbook photos are never transmitted to any Kagazo server, stored in any database, or logged in any form. The moment you close the browser tab, all image data is immediately purged from memory.
