PF TRANSFER PROCESS

Procedure to transfer the old PF amount to new PF account
1. At the time of joining a new organization, the company’s HR will give you forms for opening an PF account. When new PF account is opened and you would receive a new PF Number.
2. Fill up PF withdrawal form (Form 13) with the details of your previous organization, including your previous PF number, previous employer and regional provident fund office details. 3. Sign and hand over the Form ‘13’ in triplicate to your present employer/HR Department.
4. HR will fill in the details of your current organization and attested it by the authorised signatory (of the new employer).
5. HR then submit it to the regional PF office for transfer.
6. The regional PF office then gets in touch with your previous regional PF office to effect the transfer. Ideally, the process should take around 30 days.

When should I start transferring PF to new employer?
The transferring process can be initiated after allocation of new PF account number.

How to identify PF No.?
PF is an alphanumeric number on your PF slip. The first two letters indicate the regional PF office, which is in charge of your account. The next five digits are the employer’s code, followed by the employee’s code.

Why to transfer PF account?
1. While you need to wait for two months to withdraw the money, the transfer takes place immediately.
2. You have to pay tax if you withdraw your Provident Fund before completing five years. If you transfer it, you can earn more in the long run in terms of returns.
3. You stand to receive 24 per cent of the amount standing to your account as pension once you are 50 years old, and full pension at age 58 onwards under the Employees' Pension Scheme.
4. Up to now, there was not any problem in doing this because the older account keep accumulating interest income over the period of time. However according to the new rules, after year 2011, after 3 years of inactivity, your PF account will stop earning any interest income.

What if old PF account is not transferred?
If you don’t transfer your previous balance, your previous accounts are live and accessible. You can withdraw or transfer the balance to your current PF account. But according to the new rules, after year 2011, after 3 years of inactivity, your EPF account will stop earning any interest income.
