Hi, If you have joined new Organization and contributing to EPF scheme again, you can't withdraw full EPF balance. You have to transfer the funds from old EPF a/c to the new one. Read: http://www.relakhs.com/epf-online-transfer-claim-otcp-uan-member-portal/

Hi, You can't withdraw the full balance. Transfer is the only option. Partial PF withdrawals are allowed for certain purposes only, kindly read: http://www.relakhs.com/epf-partial-withdrawals-epf-loan-rules/

Okay I will proceed for transfer existing to new account...
What are the eligibility to get pension amount which is mentioned in UAN passbook?

Kindly note that an employee can start receiving pension under EPS only after rendering a minimum service of 10 years and attaining the age of 58 or 50 years. No pension is payable before the age of 50 years.

Along with the EPF balance, EPS also gets transferred. But the transaction entry of EPS may not be reflected in EPF passbook however the contribution period gets carry forwarded.
