PF Transfer / Approved By Previous And Present Employers But Not Transferred Even After 6+ Months

benneteapen
I was working for a company in Kerala, whose PF office was in Chennai. I've moved to a new company in Pune now. I applied online for a PF transfer from previous a/c to my present a/c more than 6 months back. It was approved by both my present and previous employers. On raising a grievance with the EPFO with the Transfer Claim ID, they replied saying :

"Transfer-in amount not received till date. You are requested to contact with your previous employer/rpfc and opt Annexure-K copy from them and provide the same to this office to include the transfer-in amount to your present a/c"

On contacting my previous employer they replied back to me saying, they do not have separate trust for PF so they would not be able to provide me Annexure K.

What should I be doing now ? How can I expedite the PF transfer process ? If I should be getting a Annexure-K where should I be getting it from ? Getting it from the EPFO in Chennai is not a possibility because it's extensive travel. Would someone please give me any guidance here ?
