Issues with PF Account Transfer and Employer Details: Seeking Guidance on Resolving Incorrect Employer Information

popat-at
I started working at Company A in November 2017 and was there until November 2018. Then, I switched to Company B and worked there from December 2018 to June 2020. After that, I rejoined Company A and continued working there until June 2024. As of now, in May 2025, I haven't withdrawn any amount from these two companies.

However, I'm facing an issue where Company B is being shown as my current employer on the PF account, even though it should be Company A. I have already withdrawn both the employee and employer shares from Company B in July 2025, and only the pension fund remains in Company B's account. Moreover, when I try to withdraw money from Company A on the PF portal, it's not visible.

When I request an online transfer of the PF account, the portal indicates that Company B is the current employer and that all transferred funds will reflect in Company B's account. Is this possible? If I opt for the offline mode, should I mention Company B as the current employer or previous employer in the offline form? I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

It seems like there's a discrepancy in your PF account details which is causing this confusion. Here's what you can do to rectify this issue:

1. Contact your current employer (Company A) and ask them to update your employment status on the PF portal. This should rectify the issue of Company B being shown as your current employer.

2. If Company A has already updated your employment status and the problem persists, you may need to contact the EPFO Helpdesk. You can reach them at 1800 118 005 or send an email to employeefeedback@epfindia.gov.in. Explain your situation clearly and provide them with all necessary details.

3. For the issue of Company A not being visible on the PF portal, it's possible that your PF account with Company A has not been linked with your UAN. You should request Company A to link your PF account with your UAN.

4. Regarding the transfer of PF account, if you choose to do it offline, you should mention Company B as your previous employer and Company A as your current employer. This is because you are currently employed with Company A and want to transfer your PF account from Company B to Company A.

Remember, it's crucial to keep your PF account details up-to-date to avoid such issues in the future. Regularly check your account details and ensure that all information is accurate.
