Hello, I was working for 23 months with a company. Due to my employment with that company, some amount accumulated in my PF account. Then I started working in another company on 22 February 2016. I worked in the second company for three months, and due to my employment with this company, some amount accumulated in my PF account. I have quit the second job as well. I have not linked the previous PF account to the PF account of the second job.
Can I still link my first job PF with the second even when I am not a part of the second company at the moment? Should I withdraw both the PFs individually? I was told that if I withdraw the second PF, I would only get the employee share because I worked there for less than six months. Is that true? Or should I withdraw the second one and keep the first one, and later whenever I take up a job, I will link the first job PF to the new one? I was also told that I can still link my first PF with the second and then withdraw it; in this case, I will get the whole first and whole second amount. Which option is best? Please suggest.

Dear friend,
Once your PF is deducted, even for one month of service, the employer has to pay their contribution for that month. So, go to the PF website and check your account number. Know your amounts and provide feedback on any complaints to the PF website, okay.
