Can I Withdraw My Previous PF Amount While Still Employed at the Same Company? Seeking Guidance

srp2809
I joined a company in January 2012. My PF account was maintained in Pune. Last March 2013, I was transferred to a different department, and the company started a new PF account in Chennai for the new department. I haven't submitted the PF transfer form yet, and it has been over four months.

Could I withdraw the amount from my previous PF account in Pune? Please provide guidance and the procedure.

Thank you,
Raja

If the transferred department has a separate code number as a new establishment, you can submit Form 10C and 19 to your Pune Provident Fund Commissioner.

Even you can transfer your PF from your old number to a new PF number by submitting a duly authorized Form 13 from your current employer with the necessary documents authorized by your old employer. You may consult your company's HR division for more information.

I agree with Varghesh. As per your message, you mentioned that it was 4 months ago when they changed the department. So, you can withdraw your PF.

You can withdraw your PF, but it is advisable to have the PF transferred as it will add up to the number of years in the PF account.

It is always advisable to transfer previous PF accumulations into the current PF account by filling out FORM 13, as it will be helpful to add your number of years for pension purposes.

It is better to transfer, as already mentioned, it will add up to your total service. Ten years of service or reaching the age of 58 entitles you to a pension.
