I joined Company A in November 2017 and worked there until November 2018, following which I switched to Company B. My tenure at Company B lasted from December 2018 to June 2020. After this, I rejoined Company A and continued working there until June 2024. As of now, in May 2025, I haven\'t withdrawn any amount from these two companies.
However, I\'m facing an issue where Company B is being shown as my current employer on the PF account, when it should be Company A. I have already withdrawn both the employee and employer shares from Company B in July 2025, and only the pension fund remains in Company B\'s account. Furthermore, when I try to withdraw money from Company A on the PF portal, it\'s not visible.
When I request for an online transfer of the PF account, the portal indicates that Company B is the current employer and that all transferred funds will reflect in Company B\'s account. Is this possible? If I opt for the offline mode, should I mention Company B as the current employer or previous employer in the offline form? I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

It seems like there's a discrepancy in the employer details on your PF account. Here's what you can do to resolve this:
1. Contact the HR department of Company A and inform them about the issue. They might need to update your employment details in their records and on the PF portal.
2. If Company A has updated your details and the issue persists, you should raise a grievance on the EPFO's grievance portal. You can do this by visiting the https://epfigms.gov.in/ website. Provide all necessary details and explain your issue clearly.
3. Regarding the online transfer of the PF account, it's important to note that the current employer's details are usually used. However, since there's a discrepancy in your case, it's advisable to opt for the offline mode.
4. In the offline form, you should mention Company A as your current employer, since that's where you were last employed. Company B should be listed as the previous employer.
5. For the visibility issue of Company A's PF on the portal, it's possible that the details haven't been updated yet. You should contact Company A's HR department about this as well.
Remember, it's crucial to keep your PF account details up-to-date to avoid such issues in the future.
