Stuck with Untransferred PF Since 2005: What Steps Can I Take Now?

I submitted my previous PF account number to the new company to transfer the amount to my new PF account. My new employer also submitted the same to RPF (Nehru Place) in June 2005, but to date, the amount has not been transferred.

Please advise on what I should do.

Dear Nitin,

First of all, check which form you have filled out for this purpose. I think it's Form 13, which has to be submitted by your new employer. This form contains details of your previous PF account number and the present PF account number allotted by your new company. It will require much more follow-up with the local PF office.

Dear Nitin,

Please check with the company, as the forms could have been misplaced. If the amount has been transferred out, request a copy of the Annexure "K" from them, which will contain the details of the transferred amount. Also, ask for the details of the cheque used for the transfer. Utilize these details to follow up with the office where your account has been transferred. If you are going in person, consider speaking to the PRO or the Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner of the concerned section.

Additionally, please note that the Nehru Place office is relocating to Mayur Bhavan, Connaught Place. Ensure to verify the current location of the section handling your old account.

Thank you.

Dear Nitin,

The process of transfer will happen as per the below process:

You submit Form 13 to the new employer, who then forwards it to the RPFC. The RPFC sends the form to the RPFC where the previous employer has kept his account. The RPFC requests Form 3A from the previous employer, who provides it. The RPFC then transfers the amount to the new account provided by the current employer as per the 2nd page of Form 13.

If any part of the process is delayed or mishandled, you won't be able to trace your form. It is advisable to contact the PRO to trace the form. Alternatively, obtain Form 3A from the previous employer, attach it to Form 13, and submit it to the current employer or directly to the RPFC.

Hi,

Since it has been too long that your PF has not been transferred, I suggest you go to the PF website www.epfindia.com and lodge your complaint with the details of the submission of form 13 A for redressal.

Dear Nitin,

You need to contact your previous employer for the same, as they have to approve it and submit it to their RPFO (Regional Provident Fund Office). An inter-state transfer can take up to 6 months, otherwise 3-4 months. All of it depends upon the response of your previous employer.

Hi,

First of all, ask your current employer to provide a receipt that was given by the RPFC when your Form 13 was submitted to them. Once you have that in your hand, you will be in a better position to know the exact date of submission of the form. Next, find out with the PF department the status about the same, whether the form has been processed or returned to the current employer for want of more information. The easiest way, though, would be to refill the form, arrange for Form 5/10 and Form 3A from the previous employer, attach them with the new Form 13, and forward them to the current employer to be sent to RPFC.

Dear Friends,

All your versions are correct. In addition, the previous employer must submit Form 10 (Deletions) indicating that the particular employee has resigned and been relieved on a specific date. Subsequently, the employee's name is removed from the RPFC office records in Form 9. During the process of transferring or withdrawing the PF, these forms are also considered.

Write a letter to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner concerned under the Right To Information (RTI) Act, asking him to provide the details of the refund made, or if not made, reasons for the same. Affix a Court Fee Stamp of the value of Rs. 20 on the top of the letter and mark the application as 'Request for Information Under RTI Act'. Send it by Registered Post AD, addressed to the 'Public Information Officer', Office of the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, ..... (Full Address).

This should produce fast results. If you do not receive a reply within 30 days (I bet you will), appeal to the next higher authority. Please keep us informed of the result through this forum.

Hi Nitin,

Kindly note the below email address for the PF Commissioner Delhi: [Login to view] / [Login to view].

The email will be responded to sooner than letters sent to them.

Dear Raj,

I just wanted to know the procedure for transferring the existing PF amount of an employee from one unit, i.e., Gurgaon (Haryana), in the same company to another unit, i.e., Indore (M.P.), where the staff member has been transferred. If you could please inform me of the complete procedure, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
