As I understood your query, you want to know about Form 11 (Revised) of the PF Act. It is a declaration form that an employee must furnish at the time of joining new employment in a company covered by the Provident Fund Act. The following declaration is required to decide whether to enter or not to enter PF membership in new employment.
(a) I was employed in M/s------------------------------------------------------------------- (Name & Full address of the establishment) with PF A/c No.------------------------------------ and left the service on ---------------------------------------. Prior to that, I was employed in ----------------------------------------------------------------- with PF A/c No. --------------------------------- from --------------------------------- to ------------------------------------------------------------------------.
(b) I am a member of the Pension Fund from -------------------------------------------, and a copy of the Scheme Certificate is enclosed.

I think Agbbrindha wants to know the use of Form 11 under the PF Act. Shaukat, kindly explain it to me as well. Till now, what I've understood is that Form 11 is filled in cases where the employee doesn't want their PF to be deducted.
Someone also told me that if someone does not want to open a new PF account and wants to transfer their old PF account, then before filling up Form 13, Form 11 is filled as a declaration.

Dear Saurav, you are right. If any employee has withdrawn their previous PF accumulation and does not want to be a PF member in their new employment, they have to fill out this declaration form. In another scenario, any new employee has the right to be excluded from such membership if their first wage/salary (Basic+DA) is more than ₹6500 per month and has withdrawn their previous PF accumulation or has never been a member of any PF scheme before. If we exclude any member from PF deductions, this declaration in Form 11 is very necessary for forthcoming inspections by the PF department.
Pension Scheme Certificate
Regarding the Pension Scheme Certificate, it is issued by the PF Department after the member becomes eligible for a pension. If the member leaves the job after 10 years of regular service and enters into new employment, this certificate should be submitted to the new employer so that their seniority and other PF pension benefits can continue in the new job as well.

Nothing is wrong; it is not mandatory to inform the current employer about the previous employer. They will allot you a new PF account number, but you are still required to fill out Form 11 for personal records.

Preventing PF Department Audits
One very important question: If a company has a license for PF but only deducts PF from 20% of employees, and they have not filled out Form 11 for any other employees at the time of joining or ever, what steps should I take to prevent this company from being audited by the PF department? Please help me solve this problem.
Thank you.

One of our employees opted out of exemption from EPF contribution at the time of joining in the year 2012-13 as his basic salary was above ₹6,500/-. However, he is now requesting to contribute to PF to reduce his tax for the year 2013-14. Is it possible to add his name now? We have already submitted Form 11 (exemption) for that employee.

It is the discretion of the employer to admit him as a voluntary subscriber to PF or not. Left to you. He cannot compel you to admit him if he was not already a member of EPF.

Understanding Form 11 for Employees
Form 11 indicates that if an employee receives a salary above ₹15,000, it is not compulsory to deduct Provident Fund (PF) if the employee is not interested in it. Upon joining, the employee should fill out Form 11 and submit it to the employer. In the event of any PF audit conducted by PF Authorities in the future, Form 11 must be submitted.
However, if the employee is interested in contributing to the PF, the employer must deduct a minimum of ₹780 from the employee's contribution, and the employer has to pay ₹885.

I am joining a bank which has its own PF trust, hence it's an exempted establishment. My question is whether I will be allotted a UAN when I join the bank. Till now, I don't have any UAN yet.
My second question is whether it is illegal to have more than one UAN.
Please reply as soon as possible.

Though it's not illegal to have more than one existing PF account, it is not correct. You should have the old account merged with the new one and apply for the allotment of UAN immediately. It is best to approach your PF Trust Secretary to complete all the necessary requirements. Have you not submitted Form-11 to your EPF Trust so far? If not, please do so.

Dear all, I want to know if an employee had their PF deducted in the previous company for only 4 months, and the new company is not deducting PF. Can they withdraw their PF or not?
Regards, Prabhakar
---------
PF Transfer and Withdrawal Process
The duration of 4 months or less is immaterial; once an account was opened and contributions credited to that account, the remaining balances upon joining a new employer have to be transferred by filing Form-11. You should ask your new employer to start deducting your PF subscriptions immediately, and they will contribute their share and credit it to your account. Please ensure that your old account is transferred promptly so that you can continue with the same account number and merge it with UAN, for which you should also apply immediately.

Some of my employees want to opt out of the PF scheme as they are earning more than 15,000 per month. I understand that they are required to fill and submit Form No. 11. My doubt is regarding Form No. 11, specifically point No. 17, where KYC details are required. They need to fill in bank details with the IFSC code, and it is mandatory. If an employee doesn't want to enroll in the PF scheme, why do they need to fill in the bank details? Is Form No. 11 acceptable without bank details if the employee is already opting out of the PF scheme in new employment?

Hi all, I have a doubt. If a company is under PF contribution, but one employee in that company doesn't want PF to be deducted, in that case, which form is applicable and under what conditions? i.e., what should be his minimum salary to not contribute PF from his salary. Please help me with details.
