I am currently residing in Delhi NCR , but I have two PF accounts , one in Bangalore and other in Chennai . I am leaving the country for good and moving to U.S permanently.
Can I submit the withdrawal forms to the respective PF offices through courier ? If not , can I have a friend deposit the forms on my behalf ?
I really want to avoid spending money to travel to the different states just to take out the PF money that govt. owes me .
Thanks in advance for all the suggestions / answers.

Yes, you may submit your applications through a third party provided your documentation is complete with particulars & necessary attestations. Please ensure that he / she receives an acknowledgement of the form submission from the PF office and passes it to you. You should also mention your mobile number on the form.
I am not sure about the success of sending them through couriers.
Hope that helps.

- Most commonly followed practice is your employer forewords your PF Withdrawal Forms to concerned PF Office. Advantage of this system is employer ensures that, form is filled fully without any mistake, moreover employer also certifies the Form. In some cases employer is required to submit some additional documents along with Form (form 3A for current year etc.). Further employer is in a better position to address any queries from PF Office.
- In case you are not in a position to follow above process, you need not have to go to PF Office personally
- Best option is to send your forms by Registered Post, Acknowledgment Due (AD). Do not relay on couriers

One thing must be ensured before submission that claim form is complete in all respects duly attsted by employer along with latest form 3-A etc.
