Is Attaching Form 5 and 10 with PF Transfer Form 13 a New Requirement or Standard Practice?

Dear Seniors, The PF office is asking to attach Form 5 and 10 along with PF Transfer Form No. 13. Please suggest whether this is a new amendment or already a standard practice. Please also attach the formats for Form 5 and 10 in Excel format for reference.

Thank you!

Understanding Form 5-10 and Form 13 for PF Transfers

Form 5-10 is used for newly joined and departed employees in the last month. Form 13 is used to ensure that the P.F. is not withdrawn from the previous establishment. When an employee submits Form 13 to the new establishment, the HR Department of the new company must include the employee's name in Form 5 as a newly joined employee. Form 13 is used to transfer the last employed PF to the new establishment. It's called Form 5-10 because it is printed front and back on a single page.

You can collect Form 5-10 and other forms from the P.F. office.

Please take Form 5 and Form 10 (Search Option) to break up the details of non-contribution days during the EPF service period from your previous employer. Enclose this information with the Transfer Form-13 R to process it with the present employer.

Thank you.
