Can I Settle My Old PF Account After 6 Years Without Company Support? Seeking Advice

Hello All, Presently, I am working in Gurgaon. I left my previous company in 2006 (almost 6 years ago); the company was in Connaught Place, New Delhi.

PF Account Settlement Query

After such a long period, is it possible to settle my PF account? I have my salary slip and PF account number with me. My old company has shifted somewhere else, and I do not know where it is now. I do not expect any support from them.

If anything can be done in this case, please help and guide me. I am waiting for valuable advice.

Thanks

You need to fill out Form 19 and get it signed by your previous employer, then submit it to the PF office. It will take around 40 days to receive the amount from the date of submission.

You need to acquire documentation from your previous employer, including their official seal and signature. These are necessary when submitting a claim at the PF office.

I heard that if it is not possible to connect to the previous corporation or the old employee, then the employee can make a PF application directly to the PF department and verify themselves with any Notary Public.

Is this information correct?

Dear friend, since you know the name of your previous employer and your PF Account No., it is easy to trace your Provident Fund. Go to your Regional Provident Commissioner's office of your jurisdiction and show them whatever references you have. They'll inform you about the whereabouts of your Provident Fund. Then you can file your final settlement or PF transfer application in the form. If they are not doing anything, you can submit these applications directly to the RPFC for necessary action. Do some searching right now.

You can get your PF amount even without the signature of your previous employer. You have to fill up Form 19 & 10B for the withdrawal of PF & FPF accumulations. Please notarize both forms and also obtain the signature of your Bank Manager where you want your PF amount to be deposited.

Since your PF account has been idle for the last 6 years and there has been no verification by your employer, you will need to submit a copy of your appointment letter to confirm your date of joining and a resignation acceptance letter to confirm your date of leaving with your employer.

All the above documents must be submitted to the Regional P.F. Commissioner of the area where your previous employer is registered. Rest assured, you will receive 100% of your accumulations.

With Regards,
RKB

Steps to Settle Your PF Account
