Hello Ms. Uma,
Reg your query about transferring past PF amounts to the present PF account--for sake of convenience--suggest DON'T try to do it.
It would be better to handle EACH PF account separately. Though prima facie, it should be possible & ideal--practically you don't have any control once the file begins to move--in-transit situations fall into no-man's island & thus will be tough for you to keep track to expedite.
You can utilize the past HR Depts to get the details/information, but once you the needed inputs, handle the PF Commissioner Offices separately.
But pl also note that this would be possible ONLY IF your husband used the SAME PF Account from one company to another. Quite often, most employees close the earlier PF Account & open a new one in the new Company.
Like a member suggested, tracking Bank statements of that period would be the best bet to see IF your husband got any PF-related payments--far convenient & faster than checking with HR or earlier Companies OR the respective PF Offices. In these days where all Banking records are accessible from anywhere in the country, you can approach the Branch closest to you & take it from there.
Once you have clarity reg this aspect, you can focus on those companies from where he didn't get any PF-related payments.
All the Best.

Hi Ms.Uma,
Without prejudice!
If you deem it fit and appropriate you may consider posting up your hubby's details state wise in this forum. Members who can and have proximity and access to the PF authorities of the respective states might as well try to ascertain the facts and status of the deceased so that you could be helped in a shortest possible days. And thereby guide you thro' via your personal e-mail IDs. Bonafide members could help the needy. Pardon me if I'm overstepping.

Hello Ms. Uma,
Kumar S has given a very Practical & excellent suggestion--only goes to prove all over again that this Forum has a solid bunch of professionals WHO SHARE & CARE.
Pl post the brief details of your (late) husband Company-wise, period of service in each Organization & IF available his designation in the respective Company. You only need to ensure that the name you mention will need to--to the extent possible--exactly match his service record names.
One advantage for you will be that since this is a Forum of HR professionals, it's much easier to track than IF you were to approach each company separately.
All the Best.
