If you had worked for 9 years and six months, you will not get Pension Fund (not PPF which is not in the purview of Employees Provident Fund but it is Public Provident Fund) contribution but will get Pension on attaining the age of 58. If you did not have pensionable service (pensionable service is 10 years but for calculation of pension six months service is taken as one year, if you have 9 years and 6 months service, it will be deemed as eligible service for pension) then, you should apply for withdrawal benefit in form 10 C.
If you had earlier applied in form 10 C but in that form if you had opted for scheme certificate in lieu of withdrawal benefit also you will not get pension fund back but instead you would have obtained a scheme certificate from the EPF Organisation certifying your service with the establishment and showing the details of nominees. If so, you should have surrendered this scheme certificate to the EPF Organisation when you joined the second company and by that your nine years service should have been added to your present service (of 3 years)
The above are the possibilities that I observe to have come across in your case. Check whether you received any Scheme Certificate and if so, check with the HR department whether the same was sent to EPF Office when you joined.
If there was no issue of Scheme Certificate, then there could be some mistake in processing the amount by the EPF Office. If so, bring it to the notice of the EPFO.

I had served in a company near Delhi for more than 15 years and resigned in 2005. Subsequently I shifted to chennai worked in a company and retired in 2014. . I have applied for withdrawal from my earlier employer (at Delhi) (Form 19 and form 10C) and got the PF settlement but the scheme certificate was never issued. I tried many times to know the status but could not get any response since the application was done manually and the relevant reference is not available in the PF status portal. . In the meantime I got both my pf settlement and scheme certificate from my employer with whom I last served at chennai.I am unable to apply for pension scheme since the scheme certificate for my major service is not available. The local PF authorities whom I contacted advised for apply afresh. Is it possible and if so can I make the online application fir scheme certificate now?

It is advisable to apply again in form 10C attaching copies of the date of birth certificates of your children (if they are below 25 years of age and female child is not married). You may apply off line to your Delhi employer and wait for the scheme certificate and after getting it only apply for pension. It may take time, but if you still have contacts in your previous company you can get it done fast. Certainly, you may have to follow up with the PF office then to get the certificate processed in time.

I have a scheme certificate long ago and now I am doing my own business. I am going to attain 58 years soon. I have no connection with my previous employer where I worked long ago and got my scheme certificate. But I do not like to go my previous employer any more and would like to get my pension from EPF department directly against submission of my this scheme certificate.
Kindly advise.

You can get the scheme certificate.But since the Pension account etc are not linked with any KYC, like adhar, and the employer has closed down the undertaking, you will have to process everything off line. For that please visit the PF office where your company's PF accounts are maintained and show the documents available with you (the PF No, contribution slip etc) and then proceed.
