Dear Kantha,
Your previous employer has no role if you have the following information about your PF account:
(1) Your PF number with the organization code.
(2) Your correct date of joining and leaving.
(3) If you have not joined any other organization that participates in the PF department after 60 days of leaving.
(4) It is mandatory to have a savings account with any bank, and this account must be without any joint account holder.
In short, if you are aware of all the above, you need to fill out two forms (Form 10 and Form 19C), which are available in any shop where other company forms are available. You are required to complete the form and obtain the signature of any authorized person (someone who is authorized to sign any documents as a true copy).
For PF withdrawal, it is not compulsory for the organization to sign the documents and submit them to the PF department. A member can also claim from the PF department.
If you need any help, please email me the following details at my ID [Login to view], or you can contact me at 93270 73135.
(1) Your company location, your joining and leaving date.
(2) Have you received any PF slip from your previous company? If yes, for which duration?
