Confused About Which EPF Number to Use for PF Withdrawal? Need Guidance!

I want to withdraw my PF from my earlier organization. In my current organization, I am yet to fill up the SSN form. However, my earlier organization has sent an SSN form to be filled for the withdrawal process. In the SSN form, there is one place for marking my EPF number. The problem is that I have 2 EPF numbers (one with the earlier organization and one with the current organization). In the SSN form, which EPF number do I mention? Kindly help.

Dear Anirbang,

You can withdraw your old PF money and transfer the pension to your current account by obtaining a Scheme Certificate or Form 10C. Dear friends/seniors, please correct me if I am wrong.

NSSN is not just for availing withdrawal of PF amount. It is for easy identification, particularly where so many transfers are made. You are not supposed to have two PF accounts. You may either apply in Form 13 to transfer your previous account to the present one or withdraw the old one by applying in Form 19 and 10C. When applying for NSSN, you can provide the present PF number. However, since you have already submitted one form earlier when you were with your previous employer, you should not apply again. Try to trace out the present position of the form already submitted.

Madhu is absolutely right. I am also having the same issue and in the process of searching the status of my SSN application which I have filled while I was working with my previous company.
