If your PF transfer claim shows as "Settled" but the amount has been returned to your old employer's passbook, there could be several reasons for this discrepancy. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:
Contact Your Old Employer:
- Reach out to your previous employer to inquire about the status of the transferred amount. They may have additional information regarding the transfer process or any issues that arose.
Check with EPFO:
- Contact the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to verify the status of your transfer claim. They can provide insights into why the amount was returned to the old passbook and guide you on the next steps to rectify the situation.
Provide Correct Bank Details:
- Ensure that the bank account details provided for the transfer are accurate. Any discrepancy in the account information can lead to the transfer being rejected or returned.
Follow Up with New Employer:
- Inform your current employer about the situation and request their assistance in resolving the issue. They may need to coordinate with the EPFO or your old employer to facilitate the transfer successfully.
File a Grievance:
- If the above steps do not yield a resolution, consider filing a grievance with the EPFO. Provide all relevant details and documentation to support your case for the transfer of funds to the correct account.
By following these steps and maintaining open communication with both your old and new employers, as well as the EPFO, you can work towards ensuring that the transferred amount is correctly deposited into your account as intended.
