Can You Transfer One Person's PF Contribution to Another's Account? How to Separate Them?

Is it possible to transfer a PF contribution of one person into an already existing PF member's account? If so, kindly advise me on how to separate them individually.

Thank you.

This error can be made by either the employer or the PF authorities. The remedy is to address the issue with the PF authorities, providing all the necessary facts and figures for rectification.

We faced a similar situation before the Department went online. I do not know if you engaged a consultant for such statutory activities, which might be the cause of such an error. The problem was from our side. We filed a supplementary annual return with Form 3A for the error that occurred nearly 3 years ago, and the concerned member successfully claimed the fund post-resignation. Definitely, the error can be reversed. It is better to be vigilant when filing the monthly returns/remittance, during which time we add/delete staff names to avoid such issues, which are very cumbersome apart from facing the wrath of the concerned employee.
