Navigating P.F. Code Surrender: Can We Consolidate State Employees Under One Head Office Code?

Dear All,

Surrender of Establishment P.F. Code

Please advise on the following points regarding the surrender of the establishment P.F. code. We have a separate P.F. code for 7-8 states and a separate head office P.F. code:

1. Can we transfer other states' employees' P.F. under the Head Office establishment code?
2. After the transfer of live employees' P.F., can we surrender the state's P.F. code?
3. What is the employer's liability after the surrender of the P.F. code?
4. In the case of P.F. not withdrawn by the departing employee, after the surrender of P.F., what can be done?

Thank you.
