Transferring your provident fund (PF) when your joining and exit dates are not mentioned in your account, and your employer is unreachable can be a challenging situation. However, here is a step-by-step guide on how you can handle this:

1. Firstly, try to reach out to your employer through all possible means, like emails, phone calls, or even via registered post. Document these attempts for future reference.

2. If your employer remains unreachable, you can report this issue to the Department of Labour in Nepal. You can contact them via their official website. Here is the link: http://dol.gov.np/.

3. Once you've reported the issue, you should provide them with all the necessary details, such as your Employee Provident Fund (EPF) account number, your employer's details, and evidence of your employment.

4. The Department of Labour can then take the necessary steps to investigate the matter and ensure that your PF details are updated correctly.

5. Once your PF details are updated, you can then proceed to apply for the transfer of your PF online through the EPF Nepal's official website. The link to the website is http://epfnepal.com.np/.

Please note that during this process patience is key, as these procedures may take some time. Always keep copies of your communications and reports as they may be needed for future references. Lastly, it's always advisable to consult with a labor law expert or a lawyer if you encounter any legal issues.
