How Do I Transfer My PF to a New Employer? Urgent Help Needed!

Hi,

Please tell me what the formalities are for transferring the PF from the old employer to the new one. Do I need to fill out a transfer form and get it signed by the old employer? Please suggest.

Please treat this as urgent and reply. Waiting...

Thanks with regards,

Dear Deepa,

Your present employer will fill out Form 13. You are not required to contact your previous employer.

Hi,

You have to fill Form 13 (mentioning your earlier PF number) and submit it to your current HR department. Within the next month, this will be transferred to your current PF account.

Hi Deepa,

The relevant form for the transfer of PF from the previous employer to the present employer is Form 13 (R). Along with Form 13 (R), the following are to be enclosed:

1. From the Previous employer:
a. Form 5 & Form 10 particulars (Date of joining and date of exit from the previous employer).
b. Break in service particulars in your previous employment.
c. Form 3A of the year when you left the previous employer (PF Contributions from March of the year till leaving the previous employer). For example, if you left the previous employer in June 2008, the PF contributions from March 2008 to June 2008 should be included. All these documents are to be signed by the previous employer.

2. The Form 13 is to be forwarded with the above enclosures by the Present employer. You can ask the Personnel Manager of your company to process the above. He can do the needful.
