I was an employee and have recently resigned from the services. My last working day was October 20, 2022. Currently, I am self-employed and have not joined any other company. The PF is being maintained as an Exempted Trust in the last employed organization.
Action for Unsettled PF from Exempted Trust Account
What kind of action can be taken against the organization if the PF amount is not settled even after five months of resignation from an exempted trust account? I have completed my notice period as mentioned in my resignation notice. My full and final settlement was cleared within 10 days of my last working day, but my PF is not getting settled. I have been following up for more than three months now.
I am not receiving any reply or response from the trust. All communication has been made via email only. Currently, I am even considering filing a case against the trust organization. Please suggest any appropriate action.
