How Do I Register for PF and Withdraw Funds Before Retirement? Seeking Guidance

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please send me the PF Registration Form for new members and the withdrawal form to withdraw money from the PF Fund before retirement.

Hi Sumit,

You need to check the EPF department's official website to get the required forms.

Subject: How to Fill Certain Columns in Form 19 and 10C

Hi Sir, I worked for a company from 2007 and was relieved in March 2009 in Bangalore. I am currently pursuing higher studies. I want to withdraw my PF money now, but my ex-employer is not providing assistance or responding to my queries. I have downloaded forms 19 & 10C and plan to get them attested by the Bank Manager. I seek clarification regarding certain columns in Form 19 and 10C.

1. Form 19

Contribution for the current financial year:
Problem: What should I enter in the table as I resigned 2 years ago in March 2009?

2. Form 19 & 10C

Name & Address of the Establishment in which the member was last employed:
Problem: My ex-company relocated to a new address after my resignation. However, I worked at the old address. Which address should I use in the specified column as I am confused about that?

3. Form 10C

Are you willing to accept Scheme Certificate in lieu of withdrawal benefits?
Problem: Should I respond with "Yes" or "No"?

Please assist me!

Thanks,
Sakthi

Dear Bhaskar, Thank you very much for the detailed reply. May God bless you with everything in your life for your help. I have a few more queries before confirming the PF forms 19 and 10C. Could you please help me with that?

Attestation for PF Forms

In which part of the Form 19 (2 pages) & Form 10C (4 pages) should I get the attestation as some bank managers are doubtful? Or should I get attestation on all the pages of Form 19 (2 pages) & Form 10C (4 pages)?

Submission of PF Application

Can I send the application through registered post (with acknowledgment) or should I directly submit it to the Bangalore PF office as I am in another state?

Regards, Sakthi
