What do you need help with?

Many stuck PF claims start with an employer's records. I work on both sides.

For employees

PF and EPFO help for employees

For rejected claims, stuck transfers, UAN and KYC problems, wrong dates, pension (EPS) and death claims. I find the cause, tell you the right route, and if you want, I handle the filing and follow-up with you.

For businesses

PF, ESI and labour compliance for businesses

Registrations, monthly PF and ESI filings, payroll compliance, labour-law records, contractor compliance, and help with notices and inspections, so gaps don't surface during hiring, a complaint or an inspection.

NidhiSetu is an independent consultancy. EPFO's own services are free; my fee is for diagnosis, paperwork, follow-up and escalation.

Consultation

A 30-minute call on phone or video. I go through your documents and give you a written plan: what to correct, in what order, with which forms, and a realistic timeline.

STEP 3

I handle it

If you'd rather not do it yourself, I prepare the documents, file through official EPFO channels, follow up and escalate. You get the fee, scope and timeline in writing before any work starts. It's never a percentage of your PF.

No resolution, no charge. If I take your case and don't file, submit or escalate anything, you owe nothing. How this works →

I never ask for your OTP, UAN password or bank login.

Real cases, including the ones that didn't go to plan

Anonymised cases from my work. No names, UANs or employer details.

BGVResolved

PF overlap flagged in a background check after joining a new job

Problem
EPFO showed one employer's joining date overlapping another's exit date. The candidate's actual jobs didn't overlap.
What I did
Compared EPFO service history with the real joining and relieving documents, traced it to a wrong date on record, and had it corrected with the employer's cooperation.
Outcome
Service dates matched the employment records, giving a consistent history for the background check.

UANResolved

UAN frozen, online services blocked

Problem
A frozen UAN stopped all online EPFO services.
What I did
Checked the Aadhaar–UAN link, profile, Member IDs and the reason for the freeze, prepared supporting documents and sent the request to the right EPFO channel.
Outcome
The UAN was de-frozen through the official process and the member could use EPFO services again.

Service historyNot concluded

Three days in a job, then worried about overlap

Problem
The member worked about 3 days, resigned and joined another company, and feared the short entry would cause overlap and BGV trouble.
What I did
Reviewed the sequence and the short-service entry, and advised correcting the dates through the employer/EPFO process.
Outcome and lesson
Not concluded. I include it because the lesson matters: even a few days of employment can show up in EPFO and background checks.

Why people trust me with their PF

Shobhit Kesarwani
Meet Shobhit

I've worked on EPFO cases since 2019.

From Ludhiana, for employees across India. I reply to every message myself, and I'll tell you honestly if you don't need me.

You deal with me, not a call centre.

I read and reply to every message myself. The person who checks your case is the person who works on it.

I'll tell you if you don't need me.

Many PF problems can be fixed on the EPFO portal in a few steps. When yours can, I'll say so and send you the guide.

Official channels only.

Everything goes through EPFO's own forms, portal and grievance system, with you in control of your login. No shortcuts and no middlemen.

Clear fees, in writing.

A fixed ₹499 for the consultation. For case support, a written quote before any work, never a percentage of your PF balance.

Honest about outcomes.

I publish how my cases actually turn out, including the ones that didn't work. EPFO makes the final decision, and I won't promise what I can't control.

Help that reaches your employer too.

If your problem is on the employer's side, I know how employers work because I handle their PF and payroll compliance too.

For businesses

Running a business?

PF, ESI, payroll and labour-law compliance, handled through official portals, so gaps don't surface during hiring, a complaint or an inspection.

Fee, scope and timeline in writing before any work. No guaranteed-outcome promises.

How to know you're dealing with someone honest

  • I'm independent. NidhiSetu is not EPFO and not a government office. EPFO's own services are free.
  • I never ask for your OTP, UAN password or bank login. If anyone claiming to be me does, it's a scam.
  • Fees are agreed in writing before any work. Nothing is charged as a share of your PF.

How to spot a PF scam

Questions people ask before they message me

Is NidhiSetu part of EPFO or the government?

No. NidhiSetu is an independent consultancy run by me, Shobhit Kesarwani. I'm not affiliated with, endorsed by or representing EPFO. EPFO's own services are free; you pay me only for diagnosis, paperwork, follow-up and escalation.

EPFO is free, so why would I pay you?

You don't have to. Many problems can be fixed on the EPFO portal, and I'll tell you when yours can. People come to me when a claim keeps getting rejected, the employer won't respond, records don't match, or there's a deadline. Then knowing the exact cause and the right sequence saves weeks.

What happens in the ₹499 consultation?

A 30-minute call on phone or video. I review your documents beforehand, explain what's wrong, and send you a written plan: what to correct, in which order, with which forms, and a realistic timeline. If the call doesn't give you a clear next step, tell me within 24 hours and I'll refund the ₹499.

What if my case can't be fixed?

I'll tell you honestly. EPFO makes the final decision on every case, so I never guarantee an outcome. If I take on your case and don't file, submit or escalate anything, you don't pay.

Will you ask for my UAN password, OTP or bank details?

Never. Everything is done through official EPFO forms and portals, with you in control of your own login. If someone claiming to be me asks for these, it's a scam.

Do you help people outside Punjab?

Yes. I'm based in Ludhiana and work with employees and businesses across India, and with NRIs, online and by phone.
