Dear Joy, your friend has worked for less than 6 months in one organization. Due to this, he will not be eligible for withdrawal benefits from the Employees' Pension Scheme. Therefore, in my opinion, it is advisable to apply for a transfer so that all his PF accumulations and EPS contributions can be consolidated. Afterwards, you can plan freely.
