Dear Diksha, You can directly approach PF office and file PF withdrawal over there and then it will in-turn automatically been taken care by the PF authorities.
Thank you very much for getting back to me, Mr. Manoj.
So, is there no need for the employer's signature? Also, which documents do I need to bring with me? Could you please explain the procedure to me?

Employer sign is not required at all if your KYC's are updated. Then you can fill Aadhar-based composite claim form for withdrawal. You need to carry your Aadhar card copy, PAN card copy, and cancelled cheque with the filled form.
If KYC is not updated, then you need to fill the non-Aadhar form. For that, employer signature is compulsory, but you can still submit that form to the PF office. Later on, they will send it to the respective employer, and it will be surely signed by the employer.
