I have one doubt regarding epf transfer, for example one person working in a concern they enroll him in epf, after 2 years, he left from the concern then joined into another, there also enroll him in epf, now he wants to transfer old concern's pf and pension amount but the pension amount did not transfer into new pf account, then how he claim the old account's pension fund, please give some valid suggestions and opinions.

Hi Gopal,
Whenever any transfer claim is settled, only PF amount is transferred from the old company to the new company. The pension amount is not transferred.
However, the period of service (in this case, 2 yrs) is joined to his new PF account.
As such whenever the employee retires and decides to close his PF & pension account, the pension is calculated by considering the total no. of years he has worked (i.e. total number of years he has contributed to the pension account).
I hope this answers your query.

To facilitate availing PF pension for total services put in, you need to avail a Scheme certificate from EPFO for duration of employment with your first employer and keep with you. At the time of retirement, you can submit this Scheme certificate to PF authorities for pension for total services.

Yes, his family members can claim for gratuity as there no criteria of minimum service in case of death.
