Online EPF Transfer | How to transfer PF funds to another EPF account Online?

• Dear Sreekant,
  I have initiated PF transfer through online last 14th, and now the status is "Accepted by employer".
  Do I need to take the printout of PDF and send it to employer ?
  After how many days it will be transfered?

  • Dear Amit,

    I went through a similar phase a couple of weeks ago.

    I had raised an online transfer request for the PF account to be moved in to one member id, it took about 10 days for the status to be moved from 'Accepted by the Employer' to Accepted by the Field Office'.

    And soon after I could see the transfer entry in my present passbook (roughly in two weeks time). The only thing I am concerned is that my EPS has not been transferred from the old PF account and I seeking some guidance from Sreekanth Reddy on this.

    Cheers.

    • Hi Suraj,
      Did u sent the signed copy of the printout to your employer?
      Actually I have selected previous employer.

      • Hi Amit,

        No I did not. No paper work done at all. Everything was done online. And yes, I too selected previous employer to transfer the PF balance in to my present employer created PF account.

  • Dear Amit,
    As per the information received by other blog readers, there is no need to submit physical doc and the process is completely online.
    However you may kindly recheck this with your employer.

• Hi Sreekanth Reddy,

  I had recently raised an online PF transfer request via the UAN portal under the One Member - One PF Account (Transfer Request). I see under the Track Claim Status the below update regarding the transfer request:

  Claim Status: Accepted by Employer
  Attestation Through: Previous Employer (XXXX Pvt Ltd)

  I seek you help on the below:

  I had two PF accounts under my UAN. First PF with employer A (served for 5.2 yrs and the Second PF with employer B (served for 1.2yrs). Now I have requested for the Employer A pf account to be merged in to Employer B pf account.

  As mentioned above the claim status is "Accepted By Employer" and Attestation Through "Previous Employer". In this case previous employer probably meaning Employer A.

  1. How do I be sure that the PF accounts have been merged as per One Member - One PF Account?
  2. What is the next step for me to withdraw the entire PF amount?

  Please assist. Thank you,
  Suraj Lokre

  • Dear suraj,
    1 - Once the transfer is done, you will see 'transfer-in' entry in your EPF passbook.

    2 - You can withdraw the funds provided you have been unemployed for minimum 60 days and not contributing to the EPF scheme currently.

    • Dear Sreekanth,

      Thank you for sharing the links. It does have elaborate information pertaining to EPF transfer.

      The eye opener in the appended link is that a major part of the Employer's contribution goes towards the EPS. Thank you.

      Could you please provide some explanation on my earlier asked question No.1?

      Also, I do not see any changes in both the PF passbooks. They remain the same even after doing the online transfer (Not sure, if my transfer has been processed completely, hence the question no.1).

      Regards,
      Suraj Lokre

      • Dear suraj,
        You can submit a grievance to the EPFO online and get Annexure-K from them, which gives details about the Transfer details.

        • Dear Sreekanth,

          Your guidance has helped me indeed. Looks like the Transfer of PF funds in to one account i.e One Member ID has been processed. I see the status as 'Accepted by the Field Office' and the passbook shows the transferred PF amount.

          However the previous EPS still reflects in the older PF account. How do I transfer the EPS in to my present account? Or is there a way to withdraw 100% of the EPS along with the EPF balance? Kindly assist.

          Thank you,
