Queries Related to PF Creation by Employers

I have a few queries related to PF creation done by the employer and want to know the process involved. I have worked in two companies, A and B, and I am now joining company C with proper relieving from my previous employment.

Questions After Joining Company C

1. Will the HR of the organization create my PF number, or will the organization assign this task to their vendors like Excelity Global?
2. How will they create the new PF? My assumption is that they will use the UAN for existing employees and assign a new PF number for new employees in the EPF portal.
3. Can they access my previous employment details while generating the PF number?
4. If company A maintains PF in their trust, which is not withdrawn, can company C view the PF numbers of both company A and B as well?
5. Will company C be able to see my date of joining and relieving from previous companies while setting up the new PF?

I am asking these questions to gain a better understanding of the background of PF creation.

A similar question was asked a day or two back. As long as you use the same UAN, your employers can see your service history. When I say service history, I mean the names of previous employers, date of joining, and date of exit from all of the previous employments. It doesn't matter if the PF was with RPFO or a PF trust! In case you have lied about your previous employments, there is a high probability of getting caught!
