Can Employees Claim PF After Just 5 Months of Service? Seeking HR Insights

Dear HR professionals,

Please let me know if anyone wants to claim the PF amount but has only 5 months of service in my organization. Are they eligible to claim?

Regards,

Dear Sekar,

If an employee has less than 6 months of service, he can only claim his provident fund amount; he cannot claim his pension amount. In these cases, you should submit Form 19, not Form 10C, to the PF office.

I do agree with Sendil. If an employee doesn't have more than 6 months of service, he can be eligible only to withdraw Provident Fund amount by submitting Form 19.

Yes, he is eligible to get EPF but not the Employee Pension Fund because it requires services in the organization for more than 6 months.

Dear Sir,

I am applying for a transfer of PF from my old employer to my new employer. It has been more than 2 years. What are the remedies to transfer the PF to my present employer's account?

Thank you.

What are the qualifications and duties of a welfare officer under the Factory Act? Can anyone guide me and possibly provide the relevant information?

Dear,

The amount will be given to legal authorities, and then the necessary inquiries can be completed.

Dear Sir,

As per the Employees' Provident Fund Act of 1952 and the Employees' Pension Scheme of 1995 (amended provision), an employee who has worked in an industrial establishment for a period less than 6 months is only eligible to claim the PF amount and does not qualify for the pension.

In the event that the name of the employee's nominee is not specified, the legal representative can claim the benefits after the employee's death in an accident by providing the necessary proof documents to the PF office.

Thanks & Best Regards,

I have worked in an organization for about 4 months. It's been 2 months since I left the organization. Will I get the employer contribution, or only the employee contribution? Please answer me.
