Online PF Transfer Query
I worked in a public limited company that went bankrupt, so I left in October 2013. However, no one from the HR department or the company has responded to me regarding my PF fund transaction.
In the meantime, I learned about online PF transfer, which can be done through the digital signature of the employer registered with the PF department. My previous PF account is in Mumbai, and my recent one is in Ahmedabad. When I checked the eligibility on the EPF website, I found that only the digital signature of my recent employer is available.
Is it possible to transfer PF with only the help of my recent employer? Can I transfer PF money to my recent PF account even if the digital signature of my previous employer is not available? If yes, please elaborate on the online PF transfer process.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Anup,
Thank you for your reply. I have completed the required process, and it is now in the office in-out phase. Unfortunately, after a week, my colleagues who attempted the same process received a message from the system stating that they cannot proceed as the previous employer's signature is not available.

EPFO Transfer Through UAN Numbers
EPFO is shortly going to make transfers through UAN numbers functional. Once that is in place, you will not require a signature from your previous employer. You can choose to do that with your present employer.
Procedure to Submit EPF Online Transfer Claim Through UAN Member Portal
The Universal Account Number (UAN) Member Portal (www.uanmembers.epfoservices.in) was launched in September 2014. This portal offers a lot of facilities to EPF subscribers/members. However, the EPF Online Transfer Claim is still not available. For the time being, you have to submit online EPF Transfer claims through the Online Transfer Claim Portal.
Once this facility is available on the UAN portal:
• You can log in to the UAN member portal.
• Add the previous Member ID (Previous EPF a/c Member ID).
• Check if you are eligible for an EPF online transfer claim.
• Submit the application (Form 13) through the UAN portal itself. (The above-mentioned process will be integrated into the UAN portal. This integration work is still under progress and will soon be made available on the UAN portal.)
• You can check the Online Transfer Claim status too.
Regards.

It is very difficult to follow up with the previous employer for PF transfers if you do not have any personal contact with them. I have emailed the Form 13 PDF file to the related PF office and talked with the PRO.
