I encountered an issue while claiming EPF death benefits for the deceased member. The EPF from the previous company was not transferred to the current employer. The employee passed away while in service, leading to a delay in processing the death claim by EPF. Could someone please provide guidance on how to proceed with transferring the PF amount and processing the death claim?
Thank you.
