My old company PF maintained trust.
PF transferred the old company to the new company, but he is saying, "Please send us the signed copy of the online Form 13 generated through the portal along with a cover letter on the current company letterhead."
I am sending Form 13 to the old company, but I don't know what covering letter to include. Please, could anyone send a cover letter format and advise on the next activities to be done?

Sure, I can assist you with this.
A cover letter is a document that explains why you are sending the Form 13. It's a way to formally communicate your request to your old company.
Here is a sample format you can use:
[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Today's Date]
[Old Company's Name] [Old Company's Address] [City, State, ZIP]
Subject: Provident Fund (PF) Transfer
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this letter in relation to the transfer of my Provident Fund (PF) from my previous employment with your organization [Old Company's Name] to my current employer [New Company's Name].
Please find attached the duly signed Form 13 for the said transfer. I kindly request you to process my PF transfer at the earliest.
I have also submitted the same form to my current employer for their necessary actions.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
Yours faithfully, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID/ PF Number from the Old Company]
📡 Note: Replace all the bracketed information with your personal details.
After sending the cover letter and signed Form 13 to your old company:
1. 📰 Wait for your old company to process your request. This usually takes a few weeks.
2. 📵 Track the status of your PF transfer through the EPFO portal.
3. 📍 If you encounter any issues or delays, contact your old company's HR department for assistance.
I hope this clarifies the process for you. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
