Hi, Sougat,
Don't worry,
Your father has a EPF account that means he was working in company or any organisation through which his PF deducted from his salary and deposited to PF office, please understand that EPF account is maintained by the Provident fund office and not by the Bank, if your father had PPF account in nationalized bank he was depositing funds into bank directly then you must have PPF bank passbook you can show it to Bank officers and complete some formalities you could collect amount,
But in case it is at PF office then you have to fill up form No. 19 and Form No. 10C to PF office through company, company will verify his services and check the records and after signature of employer, forms will goes directly into PF office by the company, PF office also check the record and after checking they will directly transfer the accumulations to the concern bank account directly (it will take 1 to 2 months approximately) from where you can withdraw money.

Dear Mr. Sougat18,
What is the age of your father? Which month and year has he resigned/ left the Organization? Didn't he applied for an amount withdrawal after that?
As per the Employees' Provident Fund Act, the PF account is opened to facilitate it as a savings account to the Employee by the Employer under the EPF rule. After 3 months from the date of leaving the company he has to apply for withdrawal or transfer of the account (in case of new employment); orelse the account will be closed or become inactive automatically. The employee cannot activate the EPF account directly.
The best way that he could check on is by filling the form no.19 &10C, with the Employer details and get them signed by the authorised. If that is not possible get the forms signed by any gazetted officer and provide it in the EPFO regional office.
Note If the withdraw of PF is after 12 - 20 years and after; it wud be difficult to locate the records it would be slightly protracted (longer) to receive your PF amount.

Hi friend
if your father is currently working in any establishment which is covered by EPF Act the amount is to be transfered to present EPF A/c No for which you have to fill Form 13(R) through attestation by present and past employer.
If your father wants to withrow the amount he will have to fill Form No 19 & 10C along with identity proof and bank pass book xeros duly counter attested by the establishment in which he worked.
Form 19 is for Provident fund withdrawal
Form 10C is for pension fund withdrawal (Service below ten years)
There is no process to make inoperative to operative a/c.

Dear Friends,
I am sorry to point out here that in above all discussions, very basic step has been omitted, and that is if your father was a member in EPF, he must have been ever given statement of account, and if has a last one, it will make you and your father very easy to approach the concerned PRO of EPF Depptt. who will in no time help you come out with your latest account statement if the employer has not provided to you, rest are elaborated above. But to identify your father as a member of EPF, he must have been given account number and statement of account.
