If you are a salaried individual and contributing to EPF scheme then you may be aware of EPFO’s OTCP (Online Transfer Claim Portal). PF subscribers have been using this online portal for submitting online EPF transfer requests (transfer of PF funds from previous EPF account to new EPF account).
However, the EPFO has recently launched a new facility for submitting EPF transfer claims online. This new provision has been provided through EPFO’s unified member portal interface.
What is EPF transfer? – When you (EPF member / employee) change your company, instead of withdrawing PF amount, you can transfer EPF balance to your new PF account. You can transfer EPF funds either through offline (or) online mode. If you submit EPF transfer claim online, the entire process can get over in just few days. It is simple and easy!
Below are the pre-requisites to transfer EPF online through Unified EPF Member Portal ;
Below is the step-by-step procedure to do online EPF transfer ;

Dear sachin,
You may kindly submit a grievance request on this to the EPFO via this link..ask for more information!
Did you try taking help of your current employer?
My former employer has closed the business and has not updated my DOJ and DOE in the PF account, I have a new PF account with the same UAN but I am unable to transfer the previous PF balance to the new account. Please suggest what I should do.
Dear Sudhakar,
I believe that an employer can now update Date of exit by himself/herself through UAN portal.
You may also check with your current employer if they can help, else, can submit your grievance to the EPFO..
Hi,
I have an old ÙAN along with my current UAN. The old UAN is not active.
1: Do I have to activate first before initiating 'One member One Account '
2: The DOB is also wrong ( one month difference).... Can my old company change the DOB from its end.( The old employer has mailed me to change the DOB by Self service.) and then carry out one member one account with existing UAN.
Any other legal way to take out my money from the old UAN.
Please guide and help.
Thanks.
Dear Kuntal,
1 - No.
2 - Yes, you can update your DoB through EPFO UAN member portal.

Dear RAKESH,
Is this Transfer claim or Withdrawal claim?
While I try to transfer previous PF amount to current PF account at the final stage it sent the OTP for claim but showing the following reason " Form Tempered"
Kindly Suggest.
I am getting error while entering the member ID. "Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim request cannot be processed."
Kindly suggest.
Check your Service History this happens if there is an overlap in the service
