Dear Lavena,
it's the duty of the previous organisation that they serve a notice regarding your withdrawal / transfer of your PF within three months of your resignation / last working day. As it's your money, nobody can even touch it and there is no such maximum period for application. If you wish to withdraw the amount, please write to your previous HR and theyy will sned you PF withdrawal form. Fill the same, sign across putting a reveneue stamp and mention your bank account in the form with declaring your 180 days non-employment after leaving the firm. The money get credited directly to your account. If you wish to transfer the same to your present organisation's PF account, talk to your present HR regarding the proces. He/She will help you out regarding the transfer process.
Regards,
Dipanjan
