Guidance on PF Transfer and Withdrawal Process: Employer Sign-off and Alternatives

Hi seniors,

In the case of PF transfer/withdrawal: suppose today I leave my present organization and join another one. After two months, I want to transfer/withdraw my PF amount and send PF withdrawal/transfer forms to the previous employer. If the previous employer does not sign my forms, what can I do in this situation?

Please reply.

Dear Ganesh Nautiyal,

First of all, why are you worried that the organization will not sign?

Secondly, if you are getting your PF transferred, it will not go to the previous company.

Thirdly, never believe and live in assumptions.

Okay, I think you are clear now. Go ahead and get your PF transferred from the previous employer to the current employer.

After 2 months from resigning, if the previous organization doesn't sign, don't worry!! You can get the PF 10-C and Form 19 signed by a Government Gazetted Officer and submit them to the PF office. It's your money; no one can block it. Then, within a month, the PF office will send those forms to that Government Officer to verify, so he should be known to you. And you will get it in 30 days.

Dear Mr. Nautiyal,

If you have joined another company, the PF authority always says that you can transfer it to the new organization's PF number. In your case, you can transfer it by filling out Form 13 A (revised) PF transfer form and giving it to your current employer so they can proceed with the same.
