I resigned from a company for personal reasons after working just a month. As stated in my appointment letter, I served the company a 7-day notice. Upon joining, I filled out the PF form. However, upon resigning in the 3rd week of the month, I verbally requested the company not to deduct PF from my salary. To my surprise, upon receiving the final statement, I noticed that the company had already deducted my PF. When I inquired with HR about this, as I had resigned in the 3rd week of the month, I questioned how it was possible for this deduction to occur before receiving my salary, given that most companies calculate staff salaries at the end of the month or in the first week of the following month. They explained that my PF deduction had been processed along with other staff contributions and provided me with the PF account number. Additionally, they had also deducted gratuity, PT, etc.
As the company has not provided satisfactory answers regarding these deductions, I have refused to accept my final settlement, resulting in a deadlock. I am seeking clarification on whether the company's explanation is accurate and why they cannot provide me with a receipt of the PF remittance as proof. If I were to accept the salary, it would be challenging for me to claim the PF since the company would need to process the paperwork for cancellation, as I do not intend to transfer the PF. Should I choose to cancel the PF, would this action lead to any issues or conflicts with my new assignment? Moreover, what is the procedure to recover my full salary from the company? Should I explore legal options, and if so, whom should I contact? Your valuable suggestions are greatly appreciated.

PF not received even after 9 months. I applied for my PF 9 months ago, and I have still not received it. I keep asking my previous employer, and they tell me that they have sent the requisite forms, but there is no sign of my PF money. They then asked me to re-apply, but even then, I have not received my PF. I just do not know what to do. Even the PF website is not working. I am at my wits' end.

My Question Regarding PF Scheme
I was working with a company until November 2012 and was a part of the PF scheme. After that, until March 15, 2013, I was running my own business. Now I have got a job and am joining a company again. My questions are:
1. Can I withdraw the amount of PF from the previous employer?
2. Can I opt not to be a part of the PF Scheme during my new employment?
Regards
