Extra PF Contribution After Exit: How Should I Handle This Situation?

After the date of the exit, my previous employer still contributed an extra month of PF. The date of the exit was June 14, 2021, and the last PF credited was on July 14, 2021.

How to Correct the Extra PF Contribution

How can I correct this? Should I meet to fill out any particular form? If I return the extra PF amount to my previous employer, what kind of letter do we need? Can you suggest a better way to resolve all these problems?

Hi, you should fill out the joint declaration form related to this matter.

If I fill out a joint declaration, which date should I mention—June 14, 2021, or July 14, 2021? My joining in the other PF is on July 15, 2021.

New PF Starting from 15 June

The date of exit of the last is 14 June, but PF was credited extra on 14 July. In this case, which date should I mention in the join declaration form?

Hi, you need not repay, but you have to inform the wrongly credited details to your previous employer. They should write a letter to the EPFO organization to have it corrected. If they don't do this, you may face issues when settling your P.F. dues, so please be informed.

Thanks,

If I inform them and they still do not notify the EPFO regarding this, it will show two employments at the same time, meaning overlapping employment for this month. What should I do?

Can you please confirm if you were able to resolve the PF contribution issue?

Even my company submitted the wrong DOE. I was able to correct it myself to 2018 because of the new update by EPFO, but the PF contribution was submitted until 2019. If I submit PF and pension withdrawal, they will reject it as a contribution received after DOE. The company is not helping. How can I resolve this?
