How Can I Transfer an Employee's PF to Our Company After a Delay in Processing?

Dear all,

I am Janhavi, working in a service industry as an admin-HR for the branch office, and our head office is in Hyderabad. I want to know what the procedure is for transferring PF from the old company to the new existing company.

In my organization, one employee joined three months ago and wanted to transfer his PF to our company. For that, we filled out Form No. 13 and sent it to our head office with his joining documentation papers. However, our HR did not review that form, and he did not proceed with the transfer process, issuing a new PF account instead.

Two months later, when we inquired about the status of the PF transfer, he realized that such a form had been sent to him. Now, I would like to know if his PF amount can still be transferred and what further procedures I should follow.

Regards,
Janhavi

I have again filled out a Form 13 for the new employee and sent it to the PF department. The Form 13 was submitted two months after the employee's joining.

I want to know if we need to fill out any other forms along with Form 13. Also, should I contact his old company to transfer the PF, or does our Head Office need to handle it?

Regards,
Janhavi

Hi Khanvi,

You can simply fill out Form 13 with all previous employer information and obtain the employee's signature. Then, on the next page, provide the details of the current employer along with an authorized signature. Afterward, you can submit it to the PF office and obtain a copy of the receipt from the PF office.

Please find the attached file.

For further information, you can call me anytime, 24/7/365.

Dear Janhavi,

You have to submit filled Form 13 signed by an authorized signatory with a cover letter. In Form 13, the information regarding the previous employer is provided by the newly joined employee, or you can obtain the payslip and PF slip of that employee. The PF department should contact his old company.
