Nowhere is it mentioned that the PF is with EPFO or a trust fund. However, assuming that the EPFO is the depository of his fund, an EPF account cannot be canceled. Keep this in mind always. The membership number may change as per the new employee, but the UAN always remains the same. It is assumed that Rahul has had his claim settled from XYZ and has no dues from the provident fund of XYZ.
Now, he worked for 5 months in PPP, and without completing 6 months of service, he cannot file any claim. He has to use the UAN of PPP in the new joining company. If his UAN is activated and KYC is verified digitally, it will be auto-transferred to the new joining company; otherwise, he has to fill out Form 19 through his member portal using his UAN for transfer. If the employee changes UAN, then this 5-month money cannot be claimed.
