New to HR? Can Someone Explain the Different PF Forms and Their Uses?

Sharad Sandbhor
Hi guys, I am Sharad. I am working as an HR Coordinator. Because I am a fresher, I don't know about how many forms we have in the PF process and all. So, can anyone tell me the forms and their meanings in PF? (For example, Form No. 19 is used for PF withdrawal).

Hi,

You have not mentioned your state, but you can visit your PF website where you can download all the forms and details.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
