Hello Ms. Uma,
Reg your query about transferring past PF amounts to the present PF account--for sake of convenience--suggest DON'T try to do it.
It would be better to handle EACH PF account separately. Though prima facie, it should be possible & ideal--practically you don't have any control once the file begins to move--in-transit situations fall into no-man's island & thus will be tough for you to keep track to expedite.
You can utilize the past HR Depts to get the details/information, but once you the needed inputs, handle the PF Commissioner Offices separately.
But pl also note that this would be possible ONLY IF your husband used the SAME PF Account from one company to another. Quite often, most employees close the earlier PF Account & open a new one in the new Company.
Like a member suggested, tracking Bank statements of that period would be the best bet to see IF your husband got any PF-related payments--far convenient & faster than checking with HR or earlier Companies OR the respective PF Offices. In these days where all Banking records are accessible from anywhere in the country, you can approach the Branch closest to you & take it from there.
Once you have clarity reg this aspect, you can focus on those companies from where he didn't get any PF-related payments.
All the Best.
