Confused About Your PF Transfer? Here's What to Do When EPFO Says It's Done but Employer Disagrees

Hi, I initiated a PF transfer in October '13, and I received an SMS from EPFO stating that my settled amount has been transferred to a bank account number. When I checked with my current employer, they informed me that they haven't received any information regarding this (it's been 6 months now). What should I do?

It is better to check with the EPF office. They will be able to give the exact answer. You can even check the status online if you are aware of the full EPF code.

I checked online, and the status shows that the amount has been transferred.

Approaching the PF Office for Assistance

It's better to approach the PF office and explain the situation. They may be able to help you. While going, it's advisable to take a copy of the bank statement from the period of application submission until the present date. Any details you need can be obtained by contacting me at the information provided below.

Regards.

EPF Bank Transfers: Delays and Solutions

EPF bank transfers can take an unusually long time with banks. Check with the bank to inquire whether the cheque is still with them or currently under clearance. You may be surprised to receive a response stating that, for some reason, it is still under clearance. They may also offer you interest for the delayed period.

I agree with Mr. Pon. When you have initiated your PF transfer, it will affect your new PF account. You have to initiate your PF passbook online or get the PF statement for the year 2013-14, which will reflect the amount transferred. Your current employer will not receive intimation; it will directly affect.

The bank account number received by you through SMS is the bank account number of your current regional PF office.
