Navigating PF Settlement and Pension for My 59-Year-Old Dad: What Steps Should We Take?

My father's age is 59, and he has completed 17 years under PF. He resigned one month ago. What is the process of getting PF settlement and pension? Please help.

Dear Subhash,

He is already 59, and pension is due from 58 years of age. Please contact the RPFC office where the pension was deposited. You should receive the pension with arrears.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir, for your kind reply. Could you please suggest which form I should submit to the PF Office?

N.B: Both sides of his PF contribution have been deposited up to September 2017. His date of birth is 13/11/1958.
