My previous employer didn’t provide the details for my Provident Fund (PF) number. The company was shuttered in 2015. I’m seeking advice on how to retrieve my PF number.

To retrieve your Provident Fund (PF) number from a defunct company that closed in 2015, you can follow these steps:
1. Contact the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) directly. Provide them with your personal details, such as your full name, date of birth, and the period of employment with the defunct company.
2. Submit a formal request to the EPFO for the retrieval of your PF number. They may require additional documents to verify your identity and employment history.
3. If the company was registered with the EPFO, they should have records of your PF contributions. The EPFO can help trace your PF number based on these records.
4. In case the company was not compliant with PF regulations, you may face challenges in retrieving your PF number. In such instances, legal assistance or consulting with a labor law expert might be necessary.
5. Stay persistent and follow up with the EPFO regularly to ensure that your request is being processed. Patience and thorough documentation will be key in this process.
