Friends,
I quit Convergys India Services Pvt Ltd sometime back and submitted my completed Form 19 & Form 10C in order to withdraw my EPF & EPS contributions.
I submitted my forms on the 6th of September 2012 at their Bangalore office, and I regularly check the EPF site for the claim status.
I thought that the company hasn't submitted the forms yet to the EPF Office in Gurgaon as the site always said there were not records of the claim.
To confirm this, I raised a grievance with the EPFO and they confirmed that the company hasn't submitted the forms.
I called the HR Direct line of Convergys, requesting an update and was astonished to hear them tell me that it would take at least 3 months for the forms to be submitted to the EPFO.
This is completely absurd and makes me think is there any thing that I can do to fasten the process, and is there a particular timeframe that the company needs to submit the forms.
I am contemplating legal action against my previous employer, and guess RTI wouldn't work in this regard as its a PVT LTD, please advise!
Additionally, How can I pursue submitting my forms myself with a bank manager's or a gazetted office's attestation as the PF form requires "Contribution for the Current Financial Year." to be filled and I do not have this information as the company stopped giving the PF account balance slips about 4 years back!
Thanks a bunch for your advices and suggestions in advance!
- Cheers!
