First question is whether your father died in harness ? If he had retired, he is supposed to get back his EPF dues within 4 months. Whether he had completed all retirement formalities before retiring ? Also, his last salary slip is supposed to contain his EPF no. and other details . Some companies even supply EPF statements annually . Pl check. I agree with Pankaj Kohli that You must have his PF no. to track the same or else visit his employer who is bound to give all details or help you in resolving the issue. With all required documents i.e. nomination details , Death Certificate, certain NOCs etc. , You may be able to get it settled . Wishing you success . more

I already commented on Yesh Jindal's question on EPF which is self explanatory. I reproducing the same comment for your information. Now you can track details of your father's EPF on net provided you get EPF account number or any other details form his salary slip or you approach the company where he was last serving. Did you shift jobs a few years ago and neglect to transfer your EPF funds? Well, if procedural hassles or simply not knowing what to do, is your problem, you need to act fast. The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) recently launched an online helpdesk to help members with such “dormant” accounts trace the unclaimed sums and either credit it to their current accounts or withdraw it. If you needed a harder push, note that in his recent Budget speech, Arun Jaitley has proposed to appropriate amounts lying dormant in both EPF and PPF (public provident fund) for the creation of a Senior Citizen Welfare Fund. Once these sums are appropriated for this purpose, you are unlikely to ever get it back. The EPF Procedure: An inoperative EPF account is one where there has been no contribution for a period of 36 months. No interest is paid on such dormant accounts. To reclaim money lying dormant in EPF accounts, you need to register for a Universal Account Number (UAN) with the EPFO if you don’t have one already. You can do this at uanmembers.epfoservices.in. Log into the EPFO website at www.epfindia.com. The facility to track down your EPF is available on the home page. The form you need to fill requires you to first describe the nature of the reasons behind your PF account being rendered inoperative and the help solicited from the EPFO. You then have to fill the details of your employment. This includes the establishment code (in case you don’t know it, rest assured; there is a facility to search for the code), your PF account number, the establishment’s name and address with all the related details. You should also provide details such as your date of joining and leaving and the name of the PF office where the contributions would have been made. You can leave fields blank if you don’t have the necessary information. Once done, you will receive a reference number, which you should note down. If your money is traced thereafter, the helpdesk will guide you on the way forward in transferring the amount lying in your inoperative account to your current one, or even withdraw the money using the relevant claim form. A representative from the EPFO will get in touch with you personally, and in the language of your choice to boot. The EPFO even has a web facility to help transfer old account dues to existing accounts. A few points are worth noting here. First, in order to get the benefit out of this facility, it’s essential that you provide correct contact details and email address and only your own mobile number. This last one is so that the EPFO may easily contact you. Second, in case there is no response on the registered mobile, the case will be closed. more

You would for sure need his PF number. In case you do not have his PF# in any form through salary slips etc., please visit his employer and he will help you get that. Once you get his PF number his employer's guy who manages PF or EPFO office ( that belongs to the PF#) would help you not only to know the balance but also withdraw this amount. It will be v easy in case he has mentioned some nomination. In case he has not, you may check with EPFO office on how you can withdraw his money. Generally, they will need following things for sure: 1. Death certificate of your father 2. Details of remaining family: your mother, you and all your siblings, relationship proof of each. If any of the spouse or children are deceased then their death certificates, NOC from the remaining people. they may ask for more details. You may need to do some effort, but please be on top of it. You may end up applying for various RTIs, filling forms, submitting them etc. All the best !! more
