I worked in a company for 1 year, and PF amount was deposited in my EPF account. I don't check it every month. After relieving from the company, I joined another company where they don't deduct PF amount. Now it has been 2 years in my second company. Recently, I checked my EPF account online. My first employer has deposited some amount into my account even after I have been relieved. It seems like a mistake by the HR. What can I do now? Can the HR fix the mistake? If I want to withdraw my money, is it possible?

Refund the extra amount to the earlier employer. Give a letter to them and inform them officially about the error. No point in keeping money that does not belong to you. Systems in the old company are defective to allow deduction of PF when an employee is no longer working there.

Is it possible to refund from the web portal? Else what is the procedure?
