How to Transfer PF From the Old Company?

For an employee, switching jobs is a given. But what about PF accounts? Should the employee transfer the funds or withdraw it? Experts say that transferring PF is wiser than withdrawing as it doesn’t attract tax — here’s why.

Under the EPF scheme, a part of the employee’s salary is reserved for the provident fund. An employee can contribute a minimum of 12% of the Basic or even more towards the PF fund, unlike an employer who cannot contribute more than 12% of the basic salary of the employee towards EPF.

This PF amount, along with interest helps an employee get a lump sum amount during retirement. The process for PF Transfer is seamless and straightforward with UAN (Universal Account Number). The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has made provision for employees to transfer EPF from the previous employer to a new employer with ease.https://www.betterplace.co.in/blog/universal-account-number/

An employee has the option to get the claim attested either by the current employer or the previous employer in the online PF transfer. Once the employee submits the PF transfer form online, the employer will verify, approve and submit the request online through the portal.

Why transfer PF?

An employee need not close the EPF account with the previous employer while switching job, instead can transfer the PF account to the new employer. PF fund is regarded as a safe long-term investment for employees which is backed by the Government of India.

Therefore, if an employee is working and wishes to continue working by switching jobs, then it is recommended to make EPF transfer than withdrawing as the PF amount remains as ideal savings for retirement. You can raise your grievances online through a tool called Grievance Management System.

Required documents to submit an EPF transfer online

The information or the documents an employee should keep ready to submit an EPF transfer online include:

  • Revised Form 13
  • Valid Identity Proof (Aadhar, PAN or Driving License)
  • Old and current details of the PF account
  • The registered mobile number provided at the EPFO website should be active.
  • An active UAN in the UAN portal
  • An approved e-KYC from the employer
  • Current employer’s details
  • Establishment Number
  • PF Account Number
  • Bank account details of the salary account

An employee needs to meet the above requirements to proceed with an online claim submission in the EPFO portal. If not then an employee can visit the e-SEWA portal which is managed by the EPFO to seed the KYC and other details required.

Forms Required for EPF Transfer

Although PF transfers were previously available online through the ‘Online Transfer Claim Portal,’ with what was the advent of UAN, the transference procedure has been updated and relocated to what is the ‘Unified Portal.’ Nevertheless, to perform a digital PF transfer, complete these required arrangements:

  • The user must have established his UAN using the site of UAN, the cell phone which is used for registration must likewise be active.
  • Employee’s bank account and bank IFSC code must be established against the UAN. Seeding Aadhar number and PAN against UAN is not required for submitting transfer claims.
  • The e-KYC should have already been approved by the employer.
  • The former and present boss should have authorized signatories in EPFO who are digitally registered.
  • An employee’s PF account number from both past and present occupation must be put into the EPFO dataset.
  • Just one transfer request can be accepted against the prior member ID.
  • Personal information and PF account details displayed in EPFO ought to be accurate.

How To Check The Status Of PF Transfer?

Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a government-backed scheme that ensures employee retirement benefits across India. It is a form of savings for employees where a certain amount of their salary is contributed towards the fund. Employees can transfer their EPF balance from their previous employer to the new one when they switch jobs. Checking the status of your PF transfer is essential to ensure a smooth transfer process.

Here are the steps to check the status of your PF transfer:

  1. Visit the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) official website at www.epfindia.gov.in.
  2. Click on the ‘Our Services’ tab and select ‘For Employees’ from the drop-down menu.
  3. Select ‘Member Passbook’ under the ‘Services’ option.
  4. Enter your UAN (Universal Account Number) and password to log in to your account.
  5. Click the ‘View’ button next to the ‘Passbook’ option.
  6. You will see all the transactions related to your EPF account, including your current transfer status.
  7. If the transfer status shows as ‘Accepted by the employer,’ your previous employer has initiated the transfer process. If it shows ‘Accepted by EPFO,’ it means that the EPFO has approved the transfer, and the amount will be credited to your new account soon.

If you face any issues with the transfer process, you can raise a grievance on the EPFO website or contact their customer service helpline for assistance.

What’S The Tax Liability For Taking Out Funds From Two PF Accounts?

The tax liability for taking out funds from two Provident Fund (PF) accounts would depend on several factors, such as the amount withdrawn, the period of service, and the tax laws in the country where the accounts are held.

If an individual withdraws funds from two different PF accounts, the total amount withdrawn from both accounts will be added together to determine if it exceeds the tax-free limit. Withdrawals from a PF account after five years of continuous service are tax-free. However, if an individual has worked for less than five years, the amount withdrawn will be taxed.

Furthermore, if the combined amount of withdrawal exceeds the tax-free limit, the excess amount may be subject to tax.

Individuals should submit Form 15G/15H to their PF accounts’ respective authorities if their total income falls below the taxable limit. This will help in avoiding tax deductions on the PF withdrawals

Conclusion:

In any employee’s mid-career, switching jobs between PF registered companies is a usual thing, but to keep an employee’s PF secure choosing to transfer the PF is wiser than withdrawing. Another important note with a tax point of view is that withdrawing PF funds within five years of employment attracts tax.

Your UAN account serves as an umbrella to consolidate all the PF funds lying in different member IDs of your previous jobs into one. The EPFO portal saves you from running to different places to get your own money.

FAQs

1) Is there a way to know the status of my PF transfer, advance or settlement that has been submitted to the EPF office?

Yes. Members can redirect to the EPFO passbook page, log in with their UAN and password and get all the information regarding the status.

2) Is the EPFO member intimated about the PF transfer affected?

Members can request a copy of the Transfer Certificate (Annexure-K) — issued to the transferee PF Trust or the Regional P.F. Commissioner/P.F. Trust — giving full details of the transfer from the EPF office.

3) Does a member have to be enrolled under EPFO all over again in the case of a transfer between one establishment to another?

The EPFO has to be enrolled as a member under the new employer or establishment and to get the PF funds from the old employer.

4) How are PF funds paid to the EPFO member if accumulations from the past are not transferred on cancellation of exemption?

It is the duty of the local Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (RPFC) to ensure the transfer of cash and securities. The RPFC will also arrange a transfer of the PF dues to the EPFO member.

5) Is there a provision for the transfer of a member’s PF account in case there is a change in establishment?

When changing employers, a member must always get the PF account transferred from the previous employer to the current employer by submitting Form 13(R). Alternatively, the member can also request for a transfer online by logging into the EPFO portal with a valid UAN and password.

    Hi,
    Thanks for sharing the detailed process. But I don’t have a current employer and I missed to transfer my PF account while working in the 2nd company. I worked in 2 companies in total, but the first company’s PF account is not linked to UAN created by my 2nd employer. So in EPFO website only one PF account is linked and the other account is not able to be linked. It says “No data found against this Member ID: WHEN checking previous employment details. In service history also it shows only the 2nd company details. So the details of my first company is missing and there is no option to link the old one as I am no longer employed in India right now.
    Is there any way to link my old PF account to my UAN number or transfer it?
    Please let me know if you have some solutions. Thanks in advance.

      Hi Ranjith,

      You need to submit the physical PF transfer form (Form 13) through the current employer by filling the details of First employer in Previous Employer Column (Part B) and Current employer details in Part C in order to transfer the PF accumulations to the latest UAN.

      Hi Soumili,

      PF contributions are made on the basis of the employee’s UAN. Once you move from one company to another and wish to transfer PF accumulations from the previous to the current employer, you need to apply via an online transfer form online. Please note the PF code — with it you can view the PF contributions (made by the current employer and transferred amount) in your e-passbook.

    Hi I have served more than 10 years in a company, after switching to the new company (5 years ago) i have withdrawn the PF (not transferred). In the current company I have EPF, in November I will be 58, Is there any way to be eligible for pension? Please reply

    1. comment-author
      Rishabh Ranjan

      Hi Sachin,

      To answer your question, I need more clarity about the pension withdrawal. You also need to mention if you served for in the company for more than 10 years and also the status of the scheme certificate. If you have, in fact, worked for more than 10 years then you would be eligible for a monthly pension. To let you know more about the eligibility of pension, you need to provide the date of joining (the service) for the current employer.

    What is the process for online transfer from private provident fund trust to EPFO ?
    What if previous employer not cooperating

    1. comment-author
      Rishabh Ranjan

      Hi Randheer,

      To transfer PF dues from the previous employer’s PF trust to the current employer’s EPFO Account, you need to submit a hard copy of transfer form (Form 13 ) to your present employer. The processed form will then be forwarded to the respective PF trust to process the transfer claim.

      As for the pension, you can submit the online transfer application form online by logging into the EPFO portal with your UAN and password.

      In case if the previous employer is not co-operating, you can file a grievance online by furnishing details of your previous employer along with specifics of your employment.

    Hi Rishabh,

    I would need to withdraw my PF money partially due to some emergency. Here is the scenario- Previous Co. has majority of funds and its not transferred to new employer though I have common UAN linked to both. Also, the new employer has exempted trust So I am not sure how can I claim to withdraw my money. Do I first need to do a transfer to new employer trust and then raise a withdrawal claim ?

    Thanks in advance !

    I worked with company A for 3 years which had its PF maintainer by EPFO. Then I worked with company B for 2.5 years which had its own trust. Both the accounts are linked to my UAN. Now I am not working anywhere. Can I still transfer my PF from company A to company B so that I do a final withdrawal from company B?
    The company B PF department says that I can’t do that as I have left the job now.

      Hi Karanvir,

      You can apply for a PF transfer online — from Company A to Company B. If the system doesn’t allow to an online transfer or returns an error, then you can submit the manual transfer form (Form 13) to transfer the PF dues from Company A to Company B.

      Hi Shibu,

      In this case, you will not have been allotted a UAN. And without it you cannot perform KYC. If you want to opt for PF and Pension withdrawal, then you can apply by submitting the physical claim form along with a cover letter. Also enclose a copy of your Aadhaar card, PAN card or Form 15G and bank passbook. All the documents need to be attested by your bank’s manager.

      Hi Vijay,

      Since transfer is already submitted and unless it is rejected, you cannot resubmit the transfer form online.

      Once the online transfer approval is done by Company A through DSC, it will redirect to respective EPFO to complete the transfer process.

      Once you place a request for a transfer from your previous employer’s PF trust to the current employer’s PF office, it will be processed.

If it’s not reflecting, you can approach your current employer’s PF office with the Annexure K issued by the PF trust.

    Hi Rishabh,
    Hope you are doing well. I have a query regarding my PF withdrawal case for which I need guidance from your side. I recently decided to get my pf amount from employer previous to current employer. I looked in EPFO portal & since there was no option available for withdrawal I initiated transfer request. Accordingly I got a message from EPFO for successful transfer to the current employer establishment code. But when approached current employer staff on this, they are not replying or assisting at all(As i have a legal dispute running with current company). I approached regional PF office for this – they said I need to ask for “Annex K” form from previous employer and raise a grievance with current establishment code firm. I am little confused to download it or request to release it from previous employer and what is the way to raise grievance (in return/online mode) ? Please suggest

      Rishabh Ranjan

      Hi Saurabh,

      On the basis of the message from EPFO on successful transfer, you can check the details of the transfer that was received from the previous employer by downloading the current employer’s e-passbook. If the transfer and the amount reflect in the e-passbook, you can proceed by submitting an online claim form to withdraw your complete PF and Pension dues.

      If you want to raise any grievance, you can do so in the link given below:

      Since you already transferred your PF from the previous employer’s PF account to the current employer’s PF account, you need to upload your latest bank account details for your current UAN as part of the KYC process. Post employer’s approval, you can apply for online withdrawal of the dues.

    hi Rishabh,

    I worked for a company from 2010 to 2012. From 2012 to current i am working in current company. The previous company has initiated the PF transfer and i received in my Current PF account. The EPS, has not been transferred to my current account. When checked with Pf officer, they are telling provide annexure K and we will accordingly add to my current account. When i check with previous employer find below is the response.
    “EPS is dealt by EPFO so coordinate with EPFO for the annexure K of pension transfer.
    Kindly note, if you have not initiated Pension transfer then follow the below step.
    You need to fill form 13 and get the same attested by current organization and then submit it to the RPFC office who is your current dealing PF office of your Pension account. They will internally update the database when you submit the attested form 13 from your current employer.
    HCL has no role in this as Pension accumulation happens in the RPFC office for any organization in India.”

    Let me know what should i do now.

      Hi Shiva,

      From what I understand by going through your comment, you were employed at an establishment where their PF is maintained with PF trust. And that is why only PF accumulations were transferred. In order to transfer the pension accumulations which were maintained with the PF office, you either need to submit the transfer form online on the EPFO portal by logging in with your UAN and password or submit the manual transfer application form — duly filled and signed — to his current employer for further processing.

      Hi Vipin,

      In order to avail complete PF and pension dues, you need to transfer both your PF and Pension contributions from the 1st employer to the current employer’s PF account.

      Since you have already requested a transfer, you can withdraw PF and pension dues only after the transfer is completed.

    Hi Rishabh,
    I had worked with a company (my first job) from 10th March 1993 to 25th Aug 2001. While resigning, I had withdrawn my entire PF amount. Soon after I joined another company & since then I am associated with EPFO (almost 19 years now). I would like to know whether my first job’s service years (8 years 5months) will be considered for calculation of pension amount after my retirement, which is almost 8 years from now? If so, how can I include these years of service into my present EPS account?

    1. comment-author
      Rishabh Ranjan

      Hi Barun,

      In order to avail the benefits of being in service for 8 years 5 months, you need to submit the transfer application (Form 13). This essentially transfers the pension contributions of the previous employer to the current employer’s PF account. Once the pension transfer is initiated you will be able to get pension benefits (after adding details of your past service).

    Hi Rishabh,
    I have not enrolled for aadhaar neither i wish to obtain aadhaar. As my aadhaar is not seeded in the KYC, my current employer is unable to create my new PF account. I think my current employer is being pressurized by EPFO for compliance reasons and in turn my employer is persistently asking for my aadhaar. Is there any alternate wherein my employer can create my new account.

      Rishabh Ranjan

      Hi Mayur,

      Aadhaar is mandatory for UAN generation. If you are not interested in handing over your Aadhaar details, I suggest you opt out of PF membership. Having said that, you can only opt out if you meet certain conditions, such as:

      – Having PF wages above INR 15,000
      – No prior record of PF membership etc.

      Hi Abdul,
      PF is a Central Act. After submitting an online transfer request, your employer has to approve the transfer claim by using a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). Once the transfer takes place, you can claim your PF and pension dues.

    Hello Sir,
    i worked for a company – Yodlee from 2010 to 2013 , and i only have a PF account for it as they have not generated UAN at that time or later after leaving the organization in 2013.

    my current organization where i am working since 2015 generated a UAN for me .

    now when i am linking the my old PF account ( Yodlee ) to my UAN i am getting below error
    “no data found against this member id when checking previous employment details”

    when i contacted yodlee organization they are saying transfer your fund manually using form-13 however when i submitted form-13 with other details to current organization they are saying PF department dont care for manual PF transfer form so you need to transfer your pf online by asking your old organization to generate a UAN(second) for old PF account.

    now i dont what do. could you please suggest it will be a great help.

      Hi Ghanshyam,

      In this case, you need to submit the physical transfer form (Form 13) as the year of leaving service under the previous employer is 2013. While submitting the physical transfer form at the PF office you also need to enclose the screenshot of the “online error” along with a cover letter stating the details of previous employment where you were unable to apply for an online transfer.

      Hi Praneetha,

      You need to opt for a manual transfer by submitting Form 13, and along with also submit a letter clearly explaining the difference in the name that was recorded by the previous employer. Please attach all valid documents and proof to back up your claim.

      Hi Snehal,

      You need to try online on the basis of the PF Number. If the details aren’t visible, I suggest you apply for the transfer manually with Form 13.

    I am not working in India since mid of 2016. I have 2 EPF A/c’s under 1 UAN. Transfer from previous EPF A/c to the most recent EPF was not done.
    Currently, there’s an online option to initiate the transfer through Online Services -> ONE MEMBER – ONE EPF ACCOUNT (TRANSFER REQUEST) , however I am not able to initiate the request and get the below message. The most probable reason could be that there’s no contribution coming in the EPF as I am not employed in India.
    Error Message:
    Online claim request cannot be processed as :-
    Present employer has not made payment in your PF account

    I was able to withdraw money from the most recent EPF account, but not from the previous EPF account as the option for claim through online process defaults to the last EPF used. Can people here help me with either process of the steps by which i can withdraw money?

      Hi Sam,

      Since the PF is withdrawn with respect to the latest PF Number, you cannot claim your PF dues for your previous employer online. You can apply for Aadhaar-based physical claim form(Form 19) and submit Form 10C at the PF office in order to claim your PF and Pension dues. Also be sure to attach a cover note while submitting the forms, clearly mentioning the error(s) that you are seeing online.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the informative post. I have a query.
    I have a total of 6.5 years of work experience. 3 years from my first company and the rest 3.5 years from my second company. My first employer had his PF trust. Hence even after transferring my PF amount the service history is not updated in the UAN portal. Now that I am not working anymore and want to withdraw my PF amount, what can I do to avoid TDS as my employment history displays only that of my 2nd company? I tried contacting my first employer but in vain. Any suggestions?

      Hi Shweta,

      Since Company A, PF accumulations have been transferred to Company B. And the overall PF accumulations lie in Company B’s account. Considering both the tenures(which is more than 5 years), while claiming PF, TDS will not get deducted.

      In case of an unexempted establishment where PF is maintained with the PF office while transferring the PF dues, pension dues will also get transferred. You can check the service history where the pension service will be considered from your account Date of Joining(DOJ).

      Rishabh Ranjan

      Hi Ayyappa,

      The transfer needs to be initiated in chronological order i.e. from A to B, B to C, C to D or A, B, C to D. Instead of transferring from C to D, since you applied for a transfer from D to C it is ideally rejected on the basis of the Date of Joining( DOJ) with the latest employer vs the Date of leaving(DOL) with the previous employer.

      In order to claim the PF dues, you need to submit the physical claim application by mentioning the 3rd member ID.

My UAN shows first 2 offices and have extracted majority of advance pf from both previous offices, but when I try to extract the pension amount, it shows my employer B details where it further gets rejected due to less than 6 month work theory. Please help as I have transferred the old pf of employer A to Employer B already and it is pending from field office.

      Hi Manimala,

      Since you’re already a member of EPS (Pension) contribution, you need to continue with the contributions towards EPS with the present employer as well.

      But since you don’t have EPS contributions with the present employer there is a chance of the transfer form being rejected, or only PF dues may get transferred to the present employer’s PF code/UAN.

      To transfer pension contributions to the current company’s PF account/UAN, you need to submit a manual transfer form (Form 13) for both the companies i.e. from A to C and B to C. While submitting the form, you need to send in a letter stating the withdrawal of PF for the transfer of pension contributions.

Even though I didn’t join Y company still they raised a transfer claim request from Company X to Y. I have an option to stop that request, but couldn’t do that because I am getting some error, I raised grievance but still no luck. Also I am seeing below error in my transfer claim request.
    “Online claim request cannot be processed as :-

    Present employer has not made payment in your PF account.”.

    As there won’t be any contribution from Y company even in future (because I didn’t join), when will this transfer request gets closed. In future suppose if I join new company Z, can I transfer PF amount from X to Z in future?

    Also this Y company record in my UAN can create any issue in future?

      You do not have the option to cancel the transfer request submitted online. You need to contact the employer whom you selected for attestation for rejecting the form.

      Since the transfer of accumulations will be for your UAN/member ID tagged to your current employer’s PF account, the bank account will not be an issue for transfer of PF claim. You can upload your bank account details with IFSC code through your UAN on the PF portal and get it approved by your employer.

      On the Umang App, PF e-passbook will show the latest employer PF contributions along with pension contribution details. With respect to organization ‘A’, unless you apply for a transfer, the details of PF will not reflect in the latest employer e-passbook. As for the pension, the previous employer details in the form of an amount will not reflect; in other words, it will be added as a service. You can see the details through your UAN login under Service History.

    Hi Rishabh,
    Request your help in the following matter. I worked for company X, for three years. Then joined company Y. I left within 3 days owing to misrepresentation made by the company regarding the job. Company Y initiated a transfer request without asking me and I stopped the auto transfer when I received the message. However The PF account still appears under my UAN. Company Y has not put DOE and are not cooperating. There is no PF contribution from them and there won’t be in future also. I have now joined company Z. Once they make contribution to my PF account, I will apply for online transfer of PF amount from X to Z. Can I ignore company Y? When I leave Z and want to make claim for accumulated amount of X and Z, will company Y presence under my Uan (with no DOE for Y) create any problem in my claim for withdrawal?

    Hi Rishabh,

    I did the pf accounts transfer procedure. I had two separate pf accounts. Previous and current. So I submitted the online form for ‘one employee one pf account’. Now the admin person from previous office is saying that she will approve it when office resumes. She doesn’t know when it will resume(is what she’s saying). Is there any time limit to the form that I submitted? Will have to fill that form again if it isn’t approved? Will the request be approved without previous employer intervention? Is there any other way? As the previous employment people aren’t really helpful and would do anything to avoid work on their part. It would be really helpful if you adviced something

      Hi Pooja,

      Since you submitted the transfer form online, the same needs to be approved by the employer using a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC).

      Typically, an employer needs to approve within 30 days from the submission of the form. Due to the lockdown, the process might be delayed. Also, it will depend on the situation in your location.

      As an alternative, you can submit a manual transfer form at the current employer’s PF office by getting attestation from them.

      Hi Manjeet,

      Since Company B’s PF amount is withdrawn before the transfer, you need to submit a manual PF claim form to Company A (to withdraw the PF dues), along with a cover letter addressed to the PF commissioner about the tenure of employment and the reason for submitting a manual claim form.

    Hi Sir
    I have worked in three organization (A,B & C).
    All of them have been linked to same UAN with different Member IDs. I exited from C Company couple of months before and they had marked exit on their records as well, which helped me to release my pf online which was accumulated only in the C company. Now I am wondering how to release my pf amount from A & B Company??
    Even if I have transferred amount from C and has been exited in C? Still Can I transfer A & B to C and make the release of PF Fund Amount??

      Hi Eapen,

      I suggest you apply for a separate manual claim form with Company A and Company B for withdrawing the PF and Pension dues.

      Since Company C’s PF is settled, there is a chance of rejection of the transfer form or the online portal may not accept the transfer application.

    I did PF transfer procedure online. After approving the request by current employer only PF account is transferred to my current account but not the pension? Why, please let me know

      Rishabh Ranjan

      Hi Naveen,

      Pension is the defined benefit hence it’s similar to PF. You will not see the amount transferred in your e-passbook, however, the service will get added under your current employer and you can view the same under the service history. When you quit the current employer and opt for a PF claim, both the amounts (previous and current employers’ PF/EPS contributions) will be settled.

      Once Company B tags employee’s UAN, it will show both the employer details,

      If you want to claim the contributions of Company A, you can do so before UAN mapping by Company B.

      Hi Sandeep,

      Actual date of joining, which is 26th Aug 2005, needs to be considered for all employment/retiral benefits such as Gratuity, Leave encashment if any, etc.

      For the PF Date of Joining to be considered, it is considered as the month from when the employee started contributing towards PF.

    Hello Mr.Ranjan,
    I have a query I worked for 30 years in 3 different organizations. I worked 14 years(1989-2003)
    In organization A and a member of EPFO. I I withdrawn my EPF components after resignation and obtained a EPS scheme certificate. I joined organization B and worked for 9 years (2003-2013) and next joined organization C and worked another
    7 years (2013-2020) .The EPF and EPS amount of organization B and C already merged under same UAN. I was able to withdraw my EPF components of organization B & C, however unable submit
    My pention claim as it showing the joining as the joining date of organization C (of 2013) and rejecting my claim saying you are not eligible. Needless to mention I already submitted my scheme certificate out of my employment A to EPFO and now they are saying we are updating your service record. It’s pending since Dec’20.
    Considering above will you kindly confirm
    How they will calculate total year of services? Will it be services of A+B+C I.e. 30 years? and how to expedite this matter?
    I will reach 60 years soon so will they consider my pension as deferred pension as ideally they are supposed release it at the age of 58.
    Thanks in advance.

      Hi Sarkar,

      In this case you obtained scheme certificate from Company A but you didn’t mention to which employer’s EPFO you submitted the scheme certificate. Once the scheme certificate is taken into consideration the pensionable service will be calculated from the month you started contributing towards the EPS Scheme.

      You can contact the PF office in person to know the status on pensionable service in the PF records and submit the pension claim form with necessary enclosures upon attaining 58 years of age.

      Hi Jyoti,

      EPF and EPS funds would have both transferred. If you checked the status of the transfer in the e-passbook then you would only see the status for EPF funds not EPS funds. Log into the EPFO portal with your UAN and password, and under “”View”” > “”Service History”” you will be able to check all details of the transfer for PF adn pension.

      If at all you cannot see teh status then reach out to your employer or the PF office.

      Hi Yatindra,

      Once UAN is mapped with the new employer after 60 days from thee date of joining, you need to submit an online transfer request through your UAN on the EPFO portal. Once submitted online, the request will be forwarded to the employer for online approval. Post employer approval, EPFO will finally approve post which the details of transfer will reflect in your e-passbook. The entire process will take 45 to 60 working days from the date of submission of online transfer form.

      Hi Kalpesh,

      In cases where there are continuous contributions towards PF for more than 5 years, TDS will not be applicable on any PF withdrawals.

      At any point of time – post resignation – you can withdraw PF.

      As for Pension (EPS), it can be withdrawn only in cases where an employee has contributed for more than 6 months and less than 10 years.Anyone with EPS contributions for more than 10 years (> 9.5 Years) will be eligible for monthly pension on attaining 58 years of age.

      Since the mode of PF claim is not mentioned, to claim the pension online, you need to update the Date of Leaving (service) on the PF portal by logging in with your UAN and password. Alternatively, you need to manually submit the EPS claim form (Form 10C) at the PF office.

      Hi Bhagyashri,

      The query is not clear.

      But, You cannot withdraw the pension amount alone while you’re employed. During the transfer, the PF amount will reflect in the e-passbook whereas the pension amount will not reflect. The same will be added as part of the service. Also, for PF the Date of Joining will be considered for pension computation.

    In the PF portal it shows the claim as Settled but the amount has not been transferred to company B and I found out it was rejected by raising a grievance at EPF grievance portal.

    When i raised a request for EPF transfer from one account to another account under this UAN B it was rejected by EPFO mentioning the reason MEMBER JOIN AFTER 09/14 WAGE HIGHER THAN 15000 CONFIRM THAT MEMBER IS ALREADY EPS MEMBER.

    I tried raising a new online transfer request by login to UAN B but it says there is no aadhar linked to my previous UAN. Also i tried to activate it using the old UAN but it didn’t succeed.
    Request your kind help to suggest how to fix this issue.

      Hi Krishna,

      Since you quit the first company and withdrew both PF and EPS, your membership with EPF is ceased, including both your UAN and PF number which must’ve become invalid.

      You need to continue the UAN allotted by Company B.

      As per the September 2014 notification issued by the EPFO, employees whose PF wages are more than ₹15000 will not be eligible for EPS contribution.

      Hence, in order to transfer the PF accumulations you need to contact your respective employers for rectification of contribution towards EPS.

    Hi Rishabh,
    I worked in a company from 09/2011 to 02/2016 and i changed to new company in 02/2016 to till date.

    I have transferred my old PF account to new PF account through online.

    My doubt is EPS amount(48k) not transferred to new account and service years also not updated anywhere .

    Please suggest how to can I get that money to transferred or service years can updated.

    Thanks & Regards

      Hi Naresh,

      If Company A’s PF is with their own trust, your need to apply for a separate transfer application online for transferring EPS to Company B. If Company A’s PF is with RPFC, EPS would have transferred along with EPF. You cannot see the amount of EPS transferred in your e-passbook. However, you can see the details of service under Service History by logging into the EPFO portal with your UAN and login password.

      Alternatively, you can visit the PF office in person to confirm the service transfer, or raise an online grievance.

      You can submit an online transfer claim after 60 days of joining the current employer.

    Hi, my pf transfer claim was rejected with reasons. 1) Father name mismatch 2) member joined after sep 2014. Pls mention if previous service. For point 1 I have asked my ex company what they have mentioned my father name in epfo portal. I guess I need to submit joint declaration if name is incorrect . Is that correct ? On point 2 my previous service history is already updated in epfo portal with start and end dates. What and how to submit previous service details

    Hi,
    Please suggest on below case:

    A(trust) PF transferred to B(trust) with different UAN
    A(eps) transfer status not clear, epfo portal says claim settled but old UAN is still active.
    Transfer from A to B was offline

    I need to transfer pf and eps from company B(trust) and C(rpfc) to my current company D(trust)

    B, C and D are on same UAN with KYC completed for both UAN

    Please suggest if I need to transfer PF and EPS from B and C to D in a sequence or both transfer request can be raised simultaneously.
    Also, how to verify if EPS for Company A was transferred to B and will it effect in any way for transfer from B and C to D?

      Rishabh Ranjan

      Hi Prashant,

      For transfer of PF from one trust to another, or to the RPFC, you need to the submit the manual transfer from to the previous employer.

      As for the transfer of pension, you need to apply online from the current company’s UAN. The should happen in the following manner: A to D, B to D and C to D.

      In case A’s EPS is transferred to B, there is no need to apply for a transfer from A to D.

      Hi Prashant,

      Since you applied for a PF transfer after claiming the PF the status shows rejected.

      You need to apply for a manual PF withdrawal form to claim the transferred amount by submitting a cover letter addressing to PF Commissioner clearly stating that the transfer amount has been received after claiming the PF dues.

    I am working for a exempted trust and this is my first company. I see the pf number in payslip is different from the pf number in epfo portal. when I asked they said the payslip pf number is actual pf id and the number in portal is pension id. but I do see that many of my friends who joined the same company on the same date are having the same numbers in both the payslips and the epfo portal. so my doubts are:

    1. Why It is different for only me.? will it cause any problem during transfer or withdrawl?
    2. did pension id and pf id numbers should be different or same?
    3. what is difference between ppo number and pension id?
    4. did eps will also be transferred from one company to another or it should be withdrawled?

      For PF trust, you will have a PF number allotted by your employer. On the other hand, the EPS number is allotted by the EPFO. That is the difference.

In between i had not transferred my account from company A to B. Now after i got retired on 30.03.2022 i had withdrawn my money lying in company B account by filling claim form 19 (pf full settlement).Please advice for withdrawing amount lying in company A whether i fill transfer form from a to b then fill form 19 or will withdraw directly from company A by filling advance form.

      Hi Deepanshu,

      Since you withdrew the entire amount from Company B, you can transfer the PF dues of Company A for the initial tenure of employment to the latest by submitting a transfer request online via the EPFO portal. Once the transfer goes through, you can withdraw the PF dues with the help of Form 19, and apply for pension with Form 10D.

      Hi Soumyaditya,

      In case L&T PF is maintained with the PF office, EPS will also get transferred along with EPF. In case L&T PF is with the trust, you need to submit an online request for EPS transfer.

      If you joined another company then you can transfer it.

    Hi Sir,

    I raised Form-10C and Form-19 Today, but then I realised that I did one mistake. And that mistake was, I forgot to transfer my previous employer pf account with the present one. So I raised transfer claim using One Member – One EPF section after Form-10C and Form-19. Now I don’t know what will happen? Will I get full pf and eps amount or previous employer’s amount will be stuck with PF account? I left my job on 8th April 2022 so I am jobless since 3 months.

    Hi Rishabh,

    I had a gap of 2 and half years in employment, ie from 2014 Feb till 2017 Sep. I have withdrawn my PF amount in 2014. Post that i have changed 2 organisations from 2017. Now when i try to transfer my PF amount i get declined saying Submit joint declaration for wages more than 15000 under para 26(6) of epf 1952 scheme and father’s name differs. My current employer is not able to resolve this issue as it is coming in Hyderabad and the company whose PF amount which needs to be transferred comes under Bangalore. After lots of efforts reaching the pf agent of previous employer they said they can do manual transfer and asked me to send form 11, form 13 manually and a declaration saying i was not working from so and so period and withdrawn my previous epf amount and already a pf member. But seeing the slowness of their response on my each email i dont feel they will take it forward so early. Is it possible for me to do this manual process by myself from Hyderabad only and how many days will it take for this manual process to be accomplished.

    Hi ,

    I have served three companies so far… pf we’re not transferred to latest employer so without checking I went ahead and applied for pf withdrawal online and I got the amount but that was just latest employer’s share alone.. later I transferred other pf accounts to latest employer and again applied for pf withdrawal but that got rejected “pf is already settled” . Can someone suggest how do I withdraw the amount which was transferred lately. And online procedure please as I currently live in US and physical submission would not be possible.

      Hi Chaithra,

      Since you withdrew the amount before the transfer amount was received, the account is already settled. You cannot apply for an online claim (for the transfer amount received).

      You need to submit a manual claim form with a cover letter (addressing the PF commissioner) stating that the transfer amount was received after withdrawing the PF of the current establishment.

    I ran into a situation as follows.
    I was working with company A and changed job to company B. However I missed to transfer pf from A to B. Now I have changed company and working with C. The current company C have already created a pf account using my existing UAN number. While checking the EPFO i understand that company A have marked end date and company B haven’t marked end date yet. My duration in B was 6months.

    Now, if i initiate pf transfer now, will the pf from both A & B get transferred to C?

    Should i wait until company B mark end date in EPFO and initiate trader?

    Hi Rishabh ji,
    I joined company A on 14 oct 2019 and left it in a month on 14 nov 2019 due to misinterpretation by the company(exempted trust) for the profile, for that my pf account was created and is visible in the service history with end date updated. Then i joined company B in jan 2020 and worked for 2.2 years. After that i joined company C in march 2022. Now when i tried transfer of PF from company B to company C, it failed saying that :- 1. Pension contribution not remitted by the employer from 08/2020 to 04/2022, kindly clarify. 2. Claim already settled.
    I had not initiated any request before this. On sending the query to company B, they said that if you already had any PF account before us(company B) then that has to be transfered first to company C(present employer) .
    If you can please give some highlight on the errors so to understand why i need to tranfer PF from company A which i’m avoiding because they might create issues.
    And if there’s any other way around how i can tackle this. Kindly help.

      The benfit of a transfer is that your retirement corpus will be under one PF number. Also, transferring is always better than withdrawing because doing the latter within 5 years of service will attract tax.

    I have worked for a company having unexempted pf account. Then | switched to another company having exempted PF. However I could not transfer my account from my 1st company to 2nd company. Now I am not working anywhere from 2019. I have withdrawn my pf from 2nd company without transferring my previous pf amount. I can now see my previous account accumulation online but I cannot withdraw my 1st pf account. Is there any way I can withdraw my 1st pf account?
