Hello,
This query might have been asked many times on this forum but I wanted to ask about one specific case which is affecting me.
I have been working with my previous company for 9.9 years. I have resigned on May 2014 and served notice period of 3 months ( 90 days ). I got relieved on 28th August, 2014 with all the proper documents. Before I left the company, I have filled up all the forms - 19 and 10c which related to EPF and Pension complete withdrawal. At the same time I also got my UAN.
While joining my current company, I have filled up the forms to open the new EPF account and it is active from past 2 months.
Now, after almost 1.5 months, my finance departments tells me that after the introduction of UAN, the rules have been changed and I will not be able to withdraw the amount. To do so, I should not be having any other EPF account which means ( according to me ) that I should be unemployed for 2 months. I have read the instructions on EPF website and they tell something like this but I am not able to understand their terminology.
It would be great if someone can guide me in this scenario. Will I be able to withdraw the complete EPF amount accumulated for my previous employer ? If yes than how can I convinence my finance department regarding the same ?
Thanks a lot in advance.
