Hi Sir/Madam,
I am currently working with Firm A, which has been acquired by Firm B. I am also in the process of leaving Firm A to join Firm C. Ideally, should I go for a transfer or withdrawal of my PF account?
Thank you in advance!

If firm C is covered by PF, you should go for transfer only. If you join firm B and then leave that company to join firm C, firm B will be the past employer. If you leave firm A before its merger with firm B, firm A will remain the past employer for effecting transfer.

Thank you, Sir!
I have one more query. If I transfer my PF account, will the pension fund also get transferred? Or should I go ahead to avail a Scheme Certificate? Is there any criteria (like years of experience) for applying for a Scheme Certificate?

While transferring your pension fund, it will also be transferred. A scheme certificate is obtained in cases where the Provident Fund is closed, and the pension fund is allowed to remain active. If you have 10 years (9 years and 6 months) of pensionable service, you cannot close the Pension fund account. In that situation, obtaining a scheme certificate along with the withdrawal benefit of the Provident Fund is the only option available. At the same time, a scheme certificate can be obtained even if the service is less than 10 years.
