How many days PF Withdrawal will take Online?

Earlier PF withdrawal generally took more than 1 month but with the introduction of the UAN Member portal, the time for PF withdrawal has been cut short to 4-5 days. I got my PF amount directly in my bank account just 4 days after the submission of my claim for PF Full withdrawal.
