• I am unable to to transfer amount from my previous employer to current one. During transfer it is showing "Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim request cannot be processed".

  I am attaching here screen shot of the error, kindly suggest for the same.

  • Dear Munna.. Your personal details between the two account may not matching, example can be your name in both the accounts.
    You may get them rectified or can try offline transfer request.

    • Dear Sir, my name is same in both the account. Is there any issue with mobile no as I have changed in new account. Kindly suggest the same.

      • Dear Munna.. Details can be your Date of birth, gender etc., you may cross-check.
        Mobile should not be of any issue.
        You may take help of your current employer in this regard.

        • Check if DOE and Reason for exit updated in your old pf account by previous employer.

• Hello - I have submitted online PF transfer through UAN self service portal. My present employer has also authorized it online and the status now read "Employer Accepted". How long usually it takes to transfer to finish. Is Aadhaar seeding mandatory for transfers? As my Aadhar in KYC is showing still pending.

  Please share your thought

  Thank you !

  • Dear Ravi..Seeding of Aadhaar is optional for online EPF Transfer Claims.

  Dear,Shreekanth sir,
  I was working with company A, Due to sudden death of manager the company A provided salary but not shared(employee and employers both) epf and eps since December to March 2017. So i join to a new company B after 4 months and with company B i am working from April to till now. Initialy My UAN number created in company A and I had an epf account. But now company B provide a new epf account and create a new UAN which is running. Now I want to transfer amount from company A to company B..please help me,how to transfer sir?
  1) May I transfer pf amount from Company A to company B's epf account which is related to B's UAN ?
  2) May I solve this vice varsa, i.e may I transfer pf amount from company A to company B keeping under A's UAN active( where's B's UAN becomes unwanted)
  3) among 2 and 3 which procedure will be better?
  4) In online epf amount transfer, are there any roll of previous employer and/or current employer?

  • Dear AMRIT,
    1 - This procedure is correct. If you transfer funds from Co A to Co B, your Co A UAN will get deactivated automatically.
    4 - Yes, your employer has to approve the claim.

  Request to please revert back ASAP.

  Looking forward to hearing from you,

  • Dear Ravi,
    On change of job, if new Org also provides EPF scheme then new Composite Declaration form (F11) has to be used with effective from Sep 2017.
    In case, your Aadhaar has not been seeded then Form 13 can be used to transfer the PF funds offline.

• Respected Sir/Madam,

  I am uploading KYC details like Bank, Adhar and License but SQL error is displaying so please can you guide me for next procedure.
  Also I want to transfer my two epf accounts to the present EPF account is it possible?
  Thank you

  • Dear Suresh,
    Suggest you to try submitting through a different web browser during off peak time.
    "Kindly note that only one transfer request against the previous member ID (EPF a/c) can be accepted. (In case, you have multiple old EPF accounts then you can consolidate your EPF accounts using – ‘One Employee – One EPF account‘ facility.)"

• Hi,

  I am trying to submit PF transfer form online using the above process, but GET OTP is disabled in step 2. I have updated aadhar number and KYC is approved under KYC Tab, also no error got displayed on the form.

  • Thanks for the response. As per above prerequisite, DOE and exit reason is not mentioned on the Unified portal so could it be one of the reasons for OTP disabled? If yes then how it can get it updated.

    • Dear SM.. You need to request your ex-employer to update the DoE details.

  • Dear SM... May be a technical issue.
    Are the pre-requisites as mentioned in the above article have been met?
    You may submit your grievnance to the EPFO online ...
    You may also consider for an offline Transfer request through new Form 11 through current employer (or) through Form 13 via ex-employer.

    • Dear PRAKASH,
      You may request your ex-employer to update Date of Exit and Father's name in database. After which, you may be able to find the online withdrawal options.
      Kindly read : EPF online withdrawal process flow..

      • Thank you Sir for your kind advice

• Hi Sreekanth,
  First of all thank you for help, I already asked you question in same forum.

  I have 3 EPF account(2inactive,1Active)
  1st account linked to old UAN,
  2nd account not linked to any UAN,
  3rd account linked to new UAN which is Active.

  Queries:
  1.By above mentioned process is it possible to merged my 1st,2nd account to 3rd active account/UAN?
  2.Also Can i transfer pf amount in this case ?
  3.My name is not matching with UAN database(facing KYC problem), so how much time will take to update name from date of submission of 'Joint Declaration Form'

  • Dear Parsh,
    1 - Yes. You can consolidate the old accounts to new a.c,
    2 - yes.
    3 - For name correction, you need to submit a joint declaration along with your employer to the EPFO (contact your employer, they will assist you), no time-line has been defined, but may take 2 to 4 weeks I guess..
