| Form 13 shall be submitted in duplicate if the transfer is inter regional.
In form 13, no signature of previous employer is required. It is to be sent to the current employer's EPF office from where the same will be sent to previous employer's EPF office. If the previous employer has not submitted the left employee's form 3 A and break certificate, the EPFO will have to direct the employer to submit the same. However, for the conveniences of the EPFO there are instances whereby the form 13 will be directed through the previous employer also. In such cases, the current employer will have to send the form 13 to the previous employer's EPFO instead of the current employer's EPFO forwarding the same.
