Hi,
I heard about the new rule which says that Employee PF organisation will not pay interest from 1st April 2011 for EPF accounts in which no transaction have been made for last 3 years.
I worked for an organisation from year 2000 (start) to year 2004 (end) - 5 years. Then I switched to another company and have worked there till now. However, in the new company I have opened new EPF account. The old EPF account is untouched (no transactions) since Dec 2004 till date.
Does the new rule mean that I will not get interest from the period starting April 2011 or even for the previous untransacted period?
I would be grateful if someone helps me with the exact genuine answer to my query?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Yogi

Dear Yogi,
Your current organisation did mistake (they have not asked for any kind of EPF account) and you also did mistake to hide about previous EPF account.
Please write a application to the EPF department and stating about two accounts and they can merge the both account by filling of form 13.
Yes,you will not get interest on old account if there is no transaction made in last six month(effective from 1st april 2011).
It can be corrected immediately.

Dear Yogi,
you will not get interest on the non-operational account from 01.04.2011. But you will get the interest till 31.03.2011 as the decision will be come into force w.e.f 01.04.2011. However you may apply form 13 through the present employer for transfer of the previous account to club with the new account at the earliest, so that you will get interest for the previous PF amount also.

Dear Mr.Yogendra,
As you said, if it will commence there is no option for interest. So that you may transfer in to new account. If you have any problem for transfer the above said account with the employer. You can choose the second option...

Going unnecessarily in to vague details on hypothetical basis, it is better to first get the balance of one of your account transferred in to the other account and get the results.
