But after 11 months he again joined(May.2010) the same Hotel having new PF no-“B” but due to some clerical mistake his PF contribution in form (3A) for the period 2010-11 mentioned in his old PF No-“A” & same submitted in PF office at time of annual return submission.

After that he submitted from -13 to Pf office for transfer his pf & pension amount(for the period 2010-11) from PF no “A” to Pf no “B” but after some time

he hot the rejection letter from PF office mention” Claim already settled” but when he online check the status of old PF no –A then some amount appeared for the period of 2010-11.

Please Suggest & advice ,How he can withdraw or transfer his PF & pension amount for the period 2010-11 which by mistake submitted in his old PF number A instead of Pf No B.

Hi Vishal,

The company can request the PF office through a letter stating that they erroneously showed the old PF account while filing the annual return. Hence, please correct the same and transfer it to the new PF account. They have to approach the PF accounts officer, who, on verifying the records, will do the needful.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Vishal,

As this is a clerical mistake, it is the responsibility of the company representative to set things right. This might require a trip to the PF office with a written requisition. Remittances and transfers are handled by different departments within the PF office, which is why you received the reply 'Claim settled' (which is technically correct). This is not a major issue, and the company representative who is in touch with the PF office should be able to straighten it out.

Dear Vishal,

The unintentional mistake happened at the HR end while preparing 3-A could have been rectified by submitting a revised 3-A with a covering letter to the PF department instead of submitting a transfer request in Form 13 by the concerned employee. The PF department issues an annual contribution statement to each covered employee every year through HR. This statement indicates the accumulated contributions (employer as well as employee), the interest accrued, the account number, etc. It also states that any noticed mistakes should be reported to the PF authority within one month.

I hope the HR personnel have received the annual contribution statement for 2010-11. If any mistakes were identified, HR can contact the relevant dealing person/Dy. Commissioner, EPF of the circle, with a letter requesting the unintentional mistakes be rectified in their records. They should issue a revised annual contribution statement for the employee based on the corrected 3-A. The authority should respond positively to this request.

All the best,
