Can I Keep My PF and ESI Benefits When Switching Jobs Across States?

jithendrapeesa
I have a doubt about the PF account and ESI. When an employee is working in a particular local private limited company, according to the acts, ESI and PF will be enrolled in that specific state. If he changes to another company in a different state, will he be able to continue his previous PF and ESI benefits in the new job within the government limits of the second state?

Thank you.

Yes, of course, ESI & PF are central acts and can be transferred from one state to another.

Yes, both Acts maintain centralized guidelines, so don't worry about this. (P.F.) If any employee transfers from one state to another, you just need to transfer their account using a specific form.

For ESIC, if your employees have an ESIC smart card, they can avail facilities anywhere in India. The only change will be the panel doctor.
