Can I Transfer My Old PF Account from Company A to My Current Employer? Seeking Advice!

I held a PF account in Company A, then created a new account when I joined Company B. After four years, I joined Company C, where I moved my PF account from Company B to C. Can I also move Company A's PF account that I have left open to C? Please help.

Yes, you can transfer your PF from any number of previous establishments (that you would have worked before) to your current PF account. The good thing is that you can do it online now. Let me know if you have any further queries.

As per my knowledge, you can't have two PF accounts. Just make sure of this with Company B; they must be using your old details to convert your A PF account to B PF account.

You can transfer one PF account (B to C). As for the old one with Company A, you may claim it. Alternatively, you can submit two separate forms (Form 13): one to A and the other to B through C. After the allotment of a new PF account in the new Company C, to be on the safer side, enclose Form 3A (a PF settlement form) from both Companies A and B along with Form 13.

Since the EPFO is issuing UAN, it is not advisable to have more than one PF number. Hence, transfer funds from the old PF account to the latest one.

You can transfer both of your older PF funds to a third PF account by filling out two Form-13s for each of the older PF accounts.
