Hello, I have a lot of unclaimed provident funds from 2009 until 2013. Back in the day, there was no UAN process. How do I retrieve PF?
I have already written to the ex-employers but I've not received a response yet.

Hi
PF money if not claimed ( and not active) for more than 5 to 7 years then the same will be moved to unclaimed fund as per PF office. In your case you haven't claimed PF for more than 10 years. So you should have some proper justification for not claiming PF for such a long period. Usually members claim that they worked at Abroad etc. An explanation letter addressed to PF office is required. You can claim by submitting Composite claim along with all supporting documents. But offline claim might take much time.
Alternatively you can request your last employer to create UAN and can transfer as well.

Thank you so much for responding. Means a lot. Your response got me to think what happens to the interest in such a case and also what is a composite claim form.

Hi,
If your PF account does not receives any contributions for more than 3 years interest won't be credited to your PF account after the 3rd year.
For PF claims earlier Form 19 & 10C was used. Now the same is replaced with Composite Claim Form.

You will get the interest on your PF account till the age of 58 years as per PF rules (as amended recently).
For claiming your PF, either contact your employer or the PF Office directly with the details of your PF Number. A copy of old payslip or PF statement will be of much use at this juncture.
You need to apply in physical format - Form No. 19 and 10-C and obtain the employer's signature on it and submit to EPFO.
It will take a maximum of 60 days for settlement.
