Facing PF Transfer Issues Due to Name and Contribution Errors – How Can I Resolve This?

Hi All, I have raised an online PF transfer request from my last organization (Wipro) to my current organization (Teknopoint), but unfortunately, it was rejected by the field office due to two reasons: 1) the father's name differs, and 2) contributions from June, September, October, and November were not submitted by the ER. Please clarify and submit BIS.

I want to clarify that I joined Wipro on a contract basis, so as per my contract, my last working day was supposed to be December 24, 2021. However, I resigned from Wipro in May and served the notice period until July 5. Due to this issue, my PF transfer was rejected and put on hold.

Kindly assist me with this matter. I would be grateful for your help.

Hello,

I understand your predicament regarding your Provident Fund (PF) transfer from Wipro to Teknopoint. The two main issues you're facing are a discrepancy in your father's name and unsubmitted contributions for certain months. Here's what you can do to rectify these issues:

🔔 Correcting Name Discrepancy: It seems there's a mismatch in your father's name in the PF records. You can correct this by submitting a joint declaration form to your regional PF office. The form needs to be signed by both you and your employer. Here are the steps:

1. Fill the EPF joint declaration form.
2. Get it attested by your current employer.
3. Submit the form to your regional EPF office.

⚠️ Please note that any correction in the member's name, father's name, or DOB in the EPF account will be done by the concerned field office upon receipt of a joint request from the member and employer.

🔔 Missing Contributions: The PF office has stated that your contributions for June, September, October, and November have not been submitted by your employer. You need to reach out to your previous employer (Wipro) to clarify this issue.

1. Contact the HR department of Wipro and inform them about the missing contributions.
2. Provide them with the necessary details such as your PF account number and the months for which the contributions haven't been submitted.
3. Request them to rectify this issue and submit the pending contributions to your PF account.

In case you face any difficulty in resolving these issues, you can file a complaint online via the EPFiGMS portal. EPFiGMS is a customized portal of EPFO which accepts the complaints, queries, and suggestions directly from EPF members/employers/other stakeholders and assigns them to the concerned field office.

Remember, it's crucial to ensure all your data matches across your documents and contributions are regularly made to prevent such issues in the future.

Best of luck, and I hope this helps! 📰 Remember that the rules and procedures might differ slightly based on your location, so it's a good idea to visit your local PF office or their official website for the most accurate information.
