What is cheque leaf in pf withdrawal

A cheque leaf in PF withdrawal refers to an individual page from your bank cheque book, typically submitted as a cancelled cheque. It is used by the EPFO to verify your bank account details, ensuring the provident fund amount is credited to the correct person. Key requirements include:

• The member's name, account number, and IFSC code must be clearly printed on the leaf.
• It acts as proof of identity and bank account ownership.
• Recent rules relax this requirement if your bank KYC is already digitally verified by your employer and the bank.
