How Can I Transfer My Old PF Balance to My New EPF Account in India? Need Guidance!

I left my old employer in Oct 2009 and joined a new company after a few days, where I continue to work to date. I had a PF account with my old employer (having its own PF Trust) which has not yet been settled. My new employer has opened my new PF account with the government EPFO in Hyderabad. Now, I want to transfer the balance funds from my old PF account to my new PF account.

Kindly guide me in this matter and oblige.

With Regards

Please apply to your previous employer using the required form and request them to transfer the amount to the new PF account number and office where it is maintained. This situation involves transferring from an exempted establishment to a non-exempted establishment.

Thank you very much, Dear Mr. Bt, for your valuable guidance. You are very right that my previous company is exempted. Would you please tell me what the basic difference is between these two types of establishments? Also, please guide me on the type of form required to apply for this purpose.

Thanks with warm regards

Exempted and Unexempted Establishments

Exempted establishment: Exempted establishments are those which have been given exemption under Section 17 of the EPF Act 1952. Here, the establishment maintains its own Provident Fund Trust and pays Provident Fund Office inspection charges.

Unexempted establishment: Here, the Provident Fund account is maintained by the government through EPFO.

You are required to fill Form No. 13(R) for the transfer of the account from the previous account to the present account.

Regards

Thank you very much and wish you a very happy New Year. I filled up the Form-13 (REVISED) and submitted it to my present employer, who has forwarded it to the PF Trust office of my previous employer. Let us wait for their response; I will be in touch with you.

With warm regards.
