Sms-alert-from-epfo-regarding-pf-withdrawal - PDF Download

Hi
I had worked in an organization for 1.5 years joined in may 2004 and left in Nov 2005. When i went back to claim my PF the HR said that since i did not serve a notice period so they will not do the formalities of relieving my PF for that tenure. They also asked to pay the amount i owe to the company first for not serving the notice period.
Can i claim this PF amount directly from the PF office?

Thanks

Dear Indika
Yes you can take your PF amount directly. Just fill the form and get the signature of the bank manager and deposit to the PF office.

There is something fishy. Who isyouremployer? Agency or your agency has outsourced you to do work for principal employer. The word agency now a days is being used in place of contractor to deprive employees from getting the benefit to be given under contract labour abolition and regulation act. Genuine agencies are registered agent of a company. They are service provider. They cannot change their names every year or two. If they are changing their names they have to carry forward their employees also and their liabilities such as pf, gratuity,etc.
If they are registering themselves with different name and addreses every year it cannot happen without the nexus with pf department and labour department. These matter should be highlighted to concerned govt. Immediately.
