PF Withdrawal Confusion: Do I Need Two Forms for an Employee Who Rejoined?

Hello everyone! Greetings to all!

Can anyone help me solve my query? In my organization, one employee worked for one year and left the job. After four years, he rejoined and worked for three months before resigning again. Now, he wants to withdraw his PF. Do I need to fill out two separate forms, or is it okay if I fill out only one form for both PF? Please help me out.

Dear All,
Pl find attached herewith [ FORM NO. – 19 (PF FINAL SETTLEMENT)/10C (PENSION WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS)/31 (PF PART WITHDRAWAL)] COMPOSITE CLAIM FORM (NON-AADHAR) & (AADHAR)

Dear Shital Sonawane,

Since you have not provided a detailed description of the case, in my opinion, there may be various aspects:

1. First of all, you have to check whether the later PF has been deposited in the same UAN (PF No.) or not.

2. If the member has been allotted a different PF No., then you have to check whether he opted for fund transfer from the previous PF into the new one.

3. If he has opted for transfer, check whether the PF has been transferred or not.

4. If there are two different PF Nos. and the member has not opted for PF transfer, then you have to fill separate forms. I suggest filling the form gradually. Note that in the later PF, the Pension Fund will be forfeited by EPFO (for service less than 6 months).

In my opinion, if different numbers are allotted, please first go for fund transfer, and then apply for Fund Withdrawal. If the member is not ready for transfer, then be aware that the Pension Fund will be forfeited after 4 months of contribution.

I hope this information is helpful in your case. Other members can shed more light on the matter.

2 different PF account numbers mean to submit 2 sets of PF withdrawal account numbers.

The same account number means to submit 1 set of withdrawal forms furnishing "break in service" details in Form-10C.

Dear Ms. Shital,

First, you have to clarify whether two PF numbers were allotted to him or the earlier number was continued upon his rejoining the organization. In case of two PF numbers, then two separate withdrawal forms need to be filled out. You can also check the status on the PF website. Regarding the Family Pension Amount, I agree with the comments made by Mr. Pan Singh.
