Stuck with EPFO Withdrawal: Can I Transfer PF Between Inactive Accounts for Final Withdrawal?

Need your help with EPFO withdrawal. The situation is that my PF is stuck with my past two companies, and I have left both of them. I had not transferred PF from the old company (it's been two years) to the last company (left four months ago). Currently, I am not working anywhere.

The only option to withdraw online is from the last company. There is no option to withdraw from the previous company. The only choice is to request a transfer from the previous to the last company, both of which I have left. Is it okay to transfer from one inactive account to another? I don't know who will approve this in those companies. Or is it legally mandatory for them to approve, even if I don't work there? So, ultimately, can I withdraw from the last company?

You can submit your transfer request to your last company, whether you are currently working there or not. Once approved by the last company, you can withdraw your EPF money.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Greetings! I have an issue regarding the transfer of my provident fund (PF) from my second-last company to my last company. I processed my second-last company's PF in my last company when I left the last company. However, the PF from my second-last company was transferred to my last company later, where I had already withdrawn my PF. Now, the PF from my second-last company is in my last company, from where I withdrew my PF, and I am currently working in another company. Please suggest how I can transfer the PF from my last company to my current company. When I try to do the online transfer, I receive a message stating that the withdrawal has already been done. Please assist me with resolving this issue.

Thank you.
