Dear Seniors,
I would like to know if one of our employees, who worked in another company in the past, wants to merge his EPF pension fund with a new EPF account with us. He has withdrawn EPF funds without the pension fund.
If this is possible, what is the procedure?
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Sanjay,
Please collect Form 13 from the EPF Office or download it from epfindia.com website. Form 13 should be certified by the present employer and submitted to the present EPF Office where your employee has deposited.
The PF Office will take the necessary steps to accumulate the past PF Amount & Exp. into the new account.

Mr. Sanjay,
It appears that the employee who joined you has already withdrawn his P.F. amount upon leaving the previous employer, as per your statement, but wants to deposit it in the P.F. account with you. Form 13 pertains to the transfer of the balance in the P.F. account of an employee who leaves one establishment and joins another establishment. In this case, if he has withdrawn the amount from his P.F. account, there will be no balance in his account to be transferred by the P.F. Department to the new establishment, and he ceases to be a member of the P.F. Probably, he has to qualify afresh in your establishment and make an application to the P.F. through you, requesting permission to deposit the P.F. amount from the account of the old employer. You can check this aspect.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your reply.
The situation is that the employee has withdrawn his EPF without the pension fund, and the EPF department has created a pension amount for the same. Now, the employee wants to know if his previous service pension amount can be transferred or included in his new PF account with us. If this is possible, how can it be done?
Please advise.

Mr. Sanjay,
When an employee is not eligible to withdraw pension at the time of leaving the previous employer because he has not completed 10 years of service, he can obtain a scheme certificate from the P.F Commissioner. This certificate indicates the pensionable service, the pensionable salary, and the amount of pension due on the date of the employee's exit from the previous establishment. The pensionable service in the previous establishment shall be reckoned with for pension along with the fresh spell of pensionable service in your establishment.
Trust this would clarify your issue.

Hello Sai,
I just have a query. I moved from one PSU to another, both of them operate PF Trusts of their own. I transferred my PF to the new employer. Now, do I collect a scheme certificate from my previous employer's Trust, or can I get a scheme certificate from the PF authorities.

Dear Friends,
Eligibility for PF Pension Scheme is 10 years. At the time of leaving, if an employee has put in less than 10 years of service, he can withdraw the amount accumulated in his Pension Fund by filling Form 10 C. If he has put in more than 10 years of service at the time of leaving, he should fill Form 10 C and obtain a Scheme Certificate. When he joins a new company, he should inform the new employer about his Scheme Certificate and submit the original Scheme Certificate for onward submission to PF Authorities. The new employer should submit the Scheme Certificate along with Form 5 to PF Authorities with a request to merge his Pension Fund.
Mr. Sanjy, I hope the above clears your doubts.

Dear Sir,
Yes, it is possible. Please ask him to apply in Form-13 transfer application. After submission, the PF authorities will take steps for the transfer of his pension account to the present account. The PF amount was already withdrawn by him. No need to worry.

Dear Sir & Friends,
If an employee has worked 5 months in an organization and then left, withdrawing his PF amount but not receiving the Pension fund (as per the rule of not completing a minimum of 6 months of service), can he transfer his previous pension fund to his current employer's PF pension account after joining another organization three years later?
Awaiting your valuable reply.
