New Employee PF Transfer: Do I Need Additional Forms or Is Form 13A Enough?

I am new to this payroll process. Please clarify my problem regarding the PF matter.

New staff joined our company, and he already has a PF account with his previous company. He has provided Form 13A to transfer his PF from the previous company to ours. Now, the issue is whether I need to obtain a fresh Declaration and Nomination Form from the staff or if the Form 13A provided by the staff is sufficient. Can I submit Form 13A to the PF Department immediately, or should it be submitted at the time of submitting Forms 12A, 5, and 10 for the joined month? Do I need to fill out an enrollment form from the new person, or is Form 13A enough to submit to the PF Department?

Hi there,

You need to take a fresh declaration/nomination form from that person to allot a new PF number for your company. After a month's time, you can fill in his transfer form with the required details and submit the same to the PF office. This way, the PF office will transfer the PF funds from his old PF account to the new PF account.

Thank you.
