Sir
Recently, After 2 and half years of leaving my earlier job, I came to know that my PF funds balance (accumulated as on my date of leaving the job at Surat and accepting at Vadodara with another employer) were not transferred from Surat PF to Vadodara PF office. This was due to some mistake of my current employer in filling up the Form 13As advised by Surat PF office revised form 13 was filed and submitted with them and Surat PF office have now transferred the fund to Vadodara PF office.
However they have not given credit of any interest in the above amount. Simply putting approximately 75k balance is transferred without any interest of 2 & half years. On enquiry, the officials are telling that because of mistake we can not pay you interest and only the principal amount lying is transferred.
I belive this is unfair, since the fund was not withdrawn by me or lying with Vadodara PF office. It was always lying with Surat PF. So I am definitely eligible for interest. Now which PF office should credit my interest. Whether Surat PF or Vadodra PF office?
Please guide the course of action.
Thanking you in anticipation
