Hi All,
I left the company after working for 4 months. The HR of that company is saying that I can't settle the PF as I worked less than 6 months in the company. Is there any such restriction to settle the PF? I left the company 3 months back, and the two months restriction period for EPF withdrawal is over.

The EPF deducted from the employee is withdrawable in full. Regarding the Provident Fund Contribution of the employer, it is deposited in 2 accounts, namely Pension Fund (8.33%) and EPF (3.67%). The employer's contribution is withdrawable without any restriction. The Pension Fund contribution can be withdrawn only after completion of 6 months of service.

Yes, Deepak, all are absolutely right. You are not eligible to get 12% employer's share in your PF account if you leave your job before completing six months. But yes, you can surely use the same PF account in your new job if both the companies are in the same state.
