Understanding Employee Provident Fund (PF) Rights
PF is a legal right of an employee. The PF Organisation acts as a Trust for the money deposited with them by the employer, and the money belongs to the employee and not the employer or the government. The money has to be paid back either to the employee or their legal heirs. No court can pass an order attaching this money. It should not take time to get the money as well.
The forms will have to be routed through the employer, and if the employer does not send the forms within 15 days or one month, send a complaint to the PF Authority of the region. Even then, if no action is taken, send a complaint to the Central PF Commissioner. I have come across instances of these organizations taking such complaints of the employees seriously and asking for explanations.
