How Do I Help a New Employee Transfer Their PF Account? Seeking Guidance!

Hi All,

One of the newly recruited employees in my company wants to continue his PF. Kindly let me know the procedure to transfer the PF account.

Dear Citee,

If you want to transfer your PF amount, you can do so through PF Form 13A. You can obtain this form from the PF office or please find it attached. The present employer will handle the transfer process.

Hi Shanmugam,

Can you tell me the PF transfer procedure in case of exempted as well as the unexempted establishment?

Can a company (unexempted establishment) situated in Bangalore, Karnataka, on behalf of the employee, ask his previous employer company (unexempted establishment) situated in Jaipur, Rajasthan, to forward Form 13 for the transfer of PF accumulations and prepare the Cheque/DD of the PF accumulations standing credit to such an employee and send these to the company (unexempted establishment) situated in Bangalore, Karnataka? In my opinion, probably the company (unexempted establishment) situated in Bangalore, Karnataka has to send the application to the Regional PF Commissioner, Jaipur, Rajasthan, in Form 13 to transfer the PF accumulations to the new PF account with the Regional PF Commissioner in Bangalore, Karnataka. There is no role of the previous employer in this process; is it so? If yes, then can we revert the application to the company (unexempted establishment) in Bangalore, Karnataka, with a reason that we are also an unexempted establishment and the same shall be directly sent to RPFC in Jaipur, Rajasthan.

Finally, we have concluded that in the above situation, return the Form 13 after the attestation, and all formalities shall be done by the present employer. In case of the exempted establishment, proceedings would be accomplished by such an exempted establishment.
