EPF Online Transfer Claim Portal (OTCP) -Transferring is now online !!!

Recently EPFO (Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation) started an online transfer of your old employer EPF account in new EPF employer account online. I hope with this initiative lot of hurdles of the EPF members will get resolved.  Let see the procedure and guidelines of this account transfer.

Note-We stopped commenting option for this particular post due to heavy commenting. Hence, if you have any doubt related to this post, then I request you to raise the same in BasuNivesh Forum.

Latest News-

  • 4 EPF withdrawal changes effective from Feb 2016
  • New EPF Withdrawal Forms-Withdraw without employer signature
  • Check EPF (Employee Provident Fund) balance through Mobile Phone SMS
  • Now track your old Inoperative EPF Accounts Online. To know more, visit the latest post “What is Inoperative EPF Account and how to track it online?“
  • EPF Universal Account Number (UAN)-What it is?
  • Note-Do you know these recent changes in EPF rules? If no then visit “Employee Provident Fund (EPF)-Changed rules from 1st Sept 2014“.

The first step before proceeding to apply for online transfer is, you must have an online registered account on EPFO site. To do registrations follow the process provided “HERE“. Once your account is registered then you need to apply for transfer of account by first visiting the Online Transfer Claim Portal (OTCP) portal. For a detailed instruction of how you can apply for transfer visit “HERE” where they provided the detailed instruction of applying.

EPF Online Transfer Claim Portal

Few points you must know before proceeding this online apply.

  • You must be a registered member of the EPFO portal before proceeding.
  • Both your previous employer as well as the present employer must be available on EPFO database.
  • The employer must register for the digital signature process of EPFO.
  • You can check your eligibility for transfer by visit OTCP site “Here“.
  • You can’t edit any of your personal details as well as the details like joining or exit dates.
  • But suppose if you found any discrepancy in the details then you can do editing so by clicking the tab called “The following information in incorrect”. Once you do the editing, take the printout of the pdf form. Self-attests the same you need to submit it to the EPFO office through your current employer.
  • You can submit for transfer once these rectifications are done properly.
  • You can change your DOB (date of birth) also but the restriction of attempting to change is only about 3 times.
  • If both your previous as well as current employer registered digital signatures with EPFO then you can submit this claim form either with the previous or current employer for employer attestation.
  • Even if your previous employer registered with EPFO then too you can submit form with either of them.
  • If your previous employer not registered then also you can submit with either of them but it will take time to transfer as the process of verification data will be done.
  • You can submit online transfer only in case your previous employer registered with EPFO for digital signature.
  • The same way your present employer registration also mandatory for online transfer.
  • Once online submission is done, you need to take the printout of the same and submit it with employer with self-attestation.
  • You have the option to choose for submitting your form for attestation either with previous or current employer.
  • Within 15 days of online submission, you need to submit a claim form with your employer.
  • If any rejection from the employer then it will be after 15 days only.
  • You can view the status of claim online also.
  • Below are the few reasons for rejecting your claim.
  1. The claim already submitted previously and EPFO not yet rejected it.
  2. You have not submitted the signed online claim transfer form with your employer within stipulated 15 days period.
  3. Records mismatch.
  4. Signature mismatch.

    Hello,

    I worked in TCS till Jan 2015. I joined another company Cargill after that and also left Cargill on Aug 2015. Joined a bank after that and I am currently working there.

    I tried to transfer my PF online via OTCP from TCS to Cargill on 28 APR 2015. The claim has been in status EPFO in and Out and both EPFO office and TCS informed me they haven’t received signed Form 13 from my then present employer Cargill.

    Cargill did not help much in this and after 1 year , I raised a fresh claim on 19 APR 2016 to transfer the TCS PF to my present employer which is a bank.

    This new claim now got rejected by EPFO office probably because there is an existing claim with EPFO in and Out status.

    Can you please advise how:

    1. I can raise a fresh claim to transfer PF or how shall I proceed here?
    2. Is there any way I can get the old claim cancelled by EPFO?
    3. Would it help if I go for PF Withdrawal or that request would be rejected too?

    Many thanks in Advance.

    Cheers

    Hi
    I got following error while submitting form in OTCP because my DOB stored in EPFO is different from my actual DOB which I came to know only after exhausting the three attempts .( Later I found it from UAN database that my month and date had been interchanged!!!).
    “Your Employee Id is Blocked due to incorrect entry of date of birth three times”. How can I transfer my EPS now to my new account?
    Thanks in advance

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      April 29, 2016 at 10:54 AM

      Deepa-It is better you contact the EPFO to unlock it. Once they do, then apply for corrections through your employer.

    Hi basunivesh,
    I had read your Q&A forum and still having doubt.So my question is
    1) I have done a transfer claim through OTCP on 14th March 2016 & 22nd March 2016 it has been approved by my previous employer.So checked with OTCP site and it shows like this,

    14 Mar 2016 Claim Form Submitted .
    22 Mar 2016 Claim Form Approved by Previous Employer .
    Current Status :Your claim has been settled and credited to new account.

    I got a message on 12 April 2014 stating that Form 13 (Transfer Claim) approved for payment through Cheque .Pmt under process.

    So i contacted my pcurrent employer and they said they didn’t get “ANY” information regarding transfer and settlement.

    So how should i know whether the amount is credited to my current account?
    In my current account balance is showing only till march 2015..please reply for this query and help me out.

    Thank You

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:

      Sooraj-You have to check it once the passbook updated. However, if you have doubt, then approach EPFO.

  • Rajkumar says:
    April 27, 2016 at 11:53 AM

    Hi Basavaraj,

    I had my previous employer DOE mentioned wrongly in the PF database.

    Because of this my current employer was not able to link the new PF to the previous one hence they have created a new UAN number by using my another mobile number.

    After the correction of DOE from previous employer the PF transfer is in progress now.

    But now I have two UANs mapped to my name. one for the previous employer and one for the new employer.

    Keeping two UAN is a legal issue? what should I do with the old UAN, can I deactivate it? If so what is the procedure to do this.

    Please provide your suggestion

    Thanks

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      April 27, 2016 at 12:43 PM

      Rajkumar-You have to write to EPFO for this. Because as of now there is no clarity on this issue.

      • Rajkumar says:
        April 27, 2016 at 7:14 PM

        FYI. Got the response from EPFO.

        Query has been explained in FAQ section.

        Q.30 Two UAN allotted to me by EPFO?
        In case two UAN are allotted to you, this could be because of not filing of Date of Exit by your previous
        employer in ECR filing and/or you have applied for transfer of service in your current establishment.
        In such a case, you are suggested to immediately report the matter either to your employer and through email
        to [email protected] by mentioning, both – your current UAN and your previous UAN(s). After due
        verification, the previous UAN(s) allotted to you will be blocked and the current UAN will be kept active.

        Later you will be required to submit a Claim to get transfer of service and fund to the current UAN

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
          April 29, 2016 at 1:01 PM

          Rajkumar-But in many cases two UAN issue arises when the employee hid his earlier UAN or not aware of it.

    Hi Basavaraj,

    I have initiated for an online transfer of PF. I chose attestation by my previous employer. My previous employer has approved this request. Just wanted to know, what are the next steps here? Does my current employer also need to approve this request?

    11 Mar 2016 Claim Form Submitted.
    14 Apr 2016 Claim Form Approved by Previous Employer.

    Do I need to chase my current employer also for approvals?

    Would appreciate your guidance here.

    Hi Sir/Madam

    I have initiated my PF funds transfer from my previous organisation (Exempted firm EPF Office Mumbai) to my current organisation (EPF office Pune) in the last week of december 2015. By The mid january 2015 it was already approved by both my previous and current employer. Since then it is showing the status as “Your request is in transit between EPFO In and Out Office”. It has already been 3 months and the status of this transaction hasn’t changed yet. Kindly suggest into this matter , also i have raised grievance online and awaiting reply. While checking online on grievance cell site my claim status is showing as ” new account credit details received and payment is under process but this is showing from last 2 months. Please suggest on the same. Also tell me if something else is required from my side to be completed.

    Hi,

    I applied for EPF transfer online very long back.

    It got rejected as i didnt send FORM 13 to my preivous employer.

    Now i want to freshly create claim status, by selecting present employer.

    Is it possible? if so, how to do it?

    Bcoz when i create a clain freshly, it say this claim is already applied.

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      April 6, 2016 at 11:37 AM

      Ashwini-If the earlier status showing as REJECTED, then you can go ahead and re-apply.

      • Ashwini KM says:
        April 6, 2016 at 11:47 AM

        When i re apply, After filling details. When i click on preview button.

        It redirects to page, saying “The attempted Request for Transfer of Account already exists on the system. Click here to view the status of your existing request”

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
          April 6, 2016 at 12:14 PM

          Ashwini-In that case you have to contact EPFO Grievance Cell for the same. Let them reject the claim, so that you can raise the fresh request. In that case instead of rejecting the earier claim, they ask some alternatives or addiitonal information to process the old request itself.

  • Damanpreet says:
    April 5, 2016 at 11:13 AM

    Hi.

    I applied for pf transfer from my previous employer (amdocs) to my current employer (adobe)
    on december I got a message Claim Form 13 for Account Transfer AGAINST Member Account No (GNGGN00294XXXXXXXX) has been settled. Annexure K and Payment sent through NEFT.

    yet I am unable to see my pf neither in epf nor in trust managed by adobe.

    Kindly help

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      April 5, 2016 at 11:41 AM

      Damanpreet-You have to wait for passbook update. Otherwise raise the issue with EPFO.

      • Damanpreet says:
        April 5, 2016 at 12:19 PM

        Now what makes it tricky is that adobe ( my current employer and to whom I have transferred) maintains its own trust where as amdocs( my previous employer and from whom I have transferred) maintains through epfo

        So when I try seeing my details through UAN i get a message ” passbook not available as pertained to exempted trust’

        And when I check through Adobe portal I am unable to see that transferred amount.

        I raised the issue with EPFO Grievance portal but they closed with a message that I am not able to comprehend. in short their message was useless
        So What shalL I do now as passbook updation will not be reflected in my UAN portal.

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
          April 5, 2016 at 2:59 PM

          Damanpreet-What was EPFO’s reply?

          • Damanpreet says:
            April 8, 2016 at 2:49 PM

            Their reply was :
            “The claim has been approved and the amount has been transferred to the account MRNOI00302XXXXXXXX dated 19/12/2015.”

            I know that y amount has been transferred, I got a text message for that, the issue is
            I am unable to see it in my new account.

            • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
              April 9, 2016 at 11:23 AM

              Damanpreet-You mention the same and reply to their answer.

              • Damanpreet says:
                April 13, 2016 at 4:44 PM

                Hi.
                My current employee(adobe) says that it hasn’t received form 13 and when I raised grievance, I got reply that epfo hasn’t received my annexure K.
                Now from whom shall I contact about my form 13 and Annexure K, adobe or Amdocs(previous employee) for EPFO office.
                If my document was missing then why my pf was transferred in he first place.

                • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:

    Hi Sir,

    Hope you are doing well 🙂

    Back on your portal to ask one more question.

    The status of my transfer moved from “The request is in transit between EPFO in and Out Office” to “Claim Form 13 for Transfer to New Account Number: AGAINST Old Member Account No has been approved. Payment is under process”

    The problem is that my ex PF trust (An Exempted Trust) had sent the cheque with my PF accumulations to EPFO in Dec 2015 with a copy of the cheque to me. It has been 4 months now but the status is still showing as Payment is under process. My only worry is that by now the cheque would have become invalid already.

    When I asked the EPFO office through mail, the answer that I got was that the transfer out establishment pertains to an exempted one. There is no physical transfer of funds. Only service detail (EPS) is transferred. Therefore the payment status shown as pending.

    How will I get to know that the payment is reflected in my account already if the payment status at EPFO portal is still showing pending.

    Please help Sir, what should I do now.

    Warm Regards,
    Neha

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:

    I have applied for online PF transfer and it is approved by my current and previous employer.
    Its been more than 7 months but amount is not transferred in my current account. It is showing status as ‘Your request is In Transit between EPFO Out and In Office’.The status has been the same for long now.
    I also raised a Grievance, please see below the reply for them. Could you please help me here;

    This is with reference to your Grievance registered vide Registration Number SRBOM/E/2015/05776.
    It is informed that after processing your grievance,the following action(s) has been taken:
    Member is advised to furnish his grievance in detail, since the grievance raised by the member has not mentioned his previous establishment name or code number to find his transfer in amount. Hence, this office is unable to reply to this grievance. Further, member is requested to trace the transfer in received to this office as his date of joining in PY/BOM/46545/489 is 16.12.2014

    Hi Basavaraj,

    While trying to do online transfer I was unable to get the printable PDF format that is required for the employer and showing error “TCPDF ERROR:Unable to create output file:/extra/transfer_claim_pdf/claim_transfer_form_pdf/999248051603210059899_01.pdf”

    Again retrying the same to submit below exception is throwing

    “Previous or Present PF Account no already exist.Plesae Try again”

    Could you please tell what is the problem. Even the requested claim is also showing blank.

        Hi,

        Like most of the other threads here I have faced the similar issue about the printable form not being generated. Moreover, the claim status shows that no printable copy as well. I wrote several emails to the EPF mail id mentioned and no replies or resolution. Today I received an email mentioning that I have not submitted the printable copy and it will get rejected in another 5 days if I do not submit it.

        Will I be able to generate a form again once it is rejected?

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
          March 28, 2016 at 11:49 AM

        I have no option i guess. I think my employer will reject the request as I will not be able to submit the Form 13 to them. After rejection, i have to raise another request. Probably, thats the only option.

    Hi Basavraj,

    I hope you are doing good.

    I had submitted for my PF transfer form online to my previous employer to transfer my PF to my current employer PF account.

    I submitted my claim online on 16-Nov-2014 and the claim was approved by my employer on 19-Nov-2014 but my PF has still not been transferred to my current PF account.

    I had raised couple of grievances with both the PF offices.

    The very recent grievance that I raised with the EPF RO Mumbai III said “CASES TRANSFERRED” so I checked my account balance with my current account I found the PF is not transferred yet so I raised a grievance with my current PF account office which is EPF RO Chennai. I received a reply stating “the transfer is not received from the previous PF account and hence member is requested to contact the previous PF office/trust”. I have written back to the EPF RO MUMBAI III asking for the explanation as both these offices are giving contradictory statements.

    Can I request you to guide me on this and tell me what according to you must have gone wrong. What should be my next course of action?

    I have already contacted my previous employer; however, the employer says that they have done what they can do. I will have to contact the PF office. I had already visited the PF office numerous times in the past including meeting the the Regional PF commissioner.

    My PF is pending since 9 years now.

    I have a tracking number to check my claim but I dont know where to use it. Can you give me some link where I can put that tracking number to check my transfer claim.

    Please suggest me as I am clueless on whats going on.

    Warm regards,

    Samir

    Hello ,
    I have submitted the printout to my previous employer. Today I have got a message – “Claim Approved for Payment through Cheque”.

    1. I assumed it is internal transfer through cheque from my previous employer to current employer – Is that correct?
    2. Also I had submitted the printout of Form 13 to previous employer only. Do I need to submit that to current employer?

    Thankyou in advance for resolving these queries. It is really helpful

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      March 17, 2016 at 10:46 AM

      Nikhil-1) It is internal transfer. 2) Not required.

    Hi Basavaraj,
    I transferred PF account from previous employer to current employer last year and below are the details

    29 Sep 2015 Claim Form Submitted .
    01 Oct 2015 Claim Form Approved by Previous Employer .
    31 Oct 2015 Claim Form Approved by Present Employer .

    Current Status :Your claim has been settled and credited to new account.

    Today, I checked the balance via SMS facility and find that I still have money in my old PF account, although the status says its been credited to the new account. Should this be the case?

    I also don’t see any balance in my new account as in the website it is posted that data is available only until 2014 for APHYDXXXXX office (which happens to be the PF office of my new establishment).

    Kindly let me know what action needs to be done from my end regarding the old account.

    Thanks,
    Sudha

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      March 17, 2016 at 11:03 AM

    Hi Basavaraj,

    I have a strage issue with my UAN. My UAN was generated while I was working with my previous employer, so I asked them and gave that URN to my current employer. But I don’t see my current PF details in my UAN, it still shows my previous employer as current account. The date of exit is not showing up. My current employer says that is the reason they are unable to map my current PF to UAN since previous employer has not yet updated my DOE.

    When I spoke to my previous employer, they say that they have already updated the DOE and that this issue is not only with me but with their new employees too. So they asked me to give Form 11 to current employer and that my current employer can also update it.

    Are you aware whether such an issue could or have had happened with anyone? And my previous employer is true and the process he told about Form 11 is the only way?

    Regards,
    Lalit

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      March 17, 2016 at 11:06 AM

      Lalit-UAN is suffice and Form 11 is not required. Why not you raise the issue with EPFO online directly?

      • Lalit says:
        March 17, 2016 at 12:05 PM

        Thanks, yes my previous employer said they would raise it with EPFO.

        Issue resolved. Thought to share the info.

        Current employer can also update the DOE of previous employment on the basis of service certificate provided by previous employer. Now current PF account is mapped to UAN.

        My existing company maintaining PF amount in Trust Account. They require signed hard copy after that only they will reflect this amount in my existing account.

        My previous companies payroll team is not help me out to provide Annexure-K.

  • Raj says:
    March 9, 2016 at 10:28 AM

    I applied for my PF transfer from my previous organization where in I worked for 16 years. As I was not able to see any old PF amount transferred, I raised a grievance. In my passbook, I was able to see an entry saying that “Transfer in from old id” but the amount is zero. On raising grievance, I got a reply that ”
    It is informed that while transferring pf account number form previous account to present account, Pension amount (physical funds) can not be transferred . Only pension service will be added to your present account. At the time of settlement you will get full benefit including your previous service. This is for your kind information.”

    What does it means. I believe that the contribution goes to two heads. One is PF and other is Pension. While pension amount will not be transferred, PF amount should have got transferred and visible to me in my passbook.

    Can you tell whats the reason for this reply and is the response justified or I need to raise a query again.

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      March 9, 2016 at 1:16 PM

      Raj-They are stating that EPS will not be transferred. However, at the time of retirement you can claim so.

      • Raj says:
        March 12, 2016 at 7:49 PM

        Thanks Basavraj. EPS part is fine. But the EPF part should have got transferred and the amount pertaining to it should have reflected in the new account passbook. Currently it is showing as zero amount.

        Is this understanding correct and does raising a query sounds justified here.

    Hi Mr. Basavaraj,

    I recently raised a claim at Online PF transfer claim portal. It got approved by my present as well as previous Employer but got rejected by RO office. On raising grievance, they informed me that it got rejected due to EPF A/c,Trust address and payee detail wrong mentioned.
    Now I raised the claim again and see that there are two form 13 that got generated at the portal(one is addressed to Trust and other one to RPFC). My previous PF account is maintained by Trust. Which form(or both forms) is required to be submitted to my current Employer in this case? Your response will be highly appreciated.

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:

    On UAN portal (http://memberclaims.epfoservices.in/member_view_claim_status.php) request status is “Your request is In Transit between EPFO Out and In Office.”

    But I got some rejection message on my mobile. SO I check other link ( http://epfoservices.in/claim_status.php), where status showing same which I got on my Mobile.

    Also, in this second link there are two claim id generated for only one transfer request. So, my question is

    1) WHy there are two clain id generated>
    2) What can be rejection reason? ( If it actually rejected)

    On second portal two clain Id status shown as :

    Hi,

    I had applied for online transfer of my PF from Bangalore (prev emp) to Mumbai (current emp). I had selected my previous employer for approval. The same was approved by my previous employer.

    The current status in the OTCP shows: Account Details received in EPFO IN office and under process. What does this mean?

    Also when I login to my UAN id and download my current passbook, this transfer amount reflects with the description TRANSFER IN (Old Member Id-:PYKRPxxxxxxx)- Amt. Received,Credit is Subject to verification.

    Can you please throw some light on this? I am confused. Is the amount transferred or in process? Usually how long does it take to transfer?

    I need this money for a medical emergency and can withdraw only when the amount is transferred.

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      March 2, 2016 at 2:06 PM

Could you please advise what are the options available for me to get this rectified.Is it possible that epfo will credit to the wrong account without checking other details or they will block amount at epfo level or they will return to my previous employer.

    Hi,

    I have applied for PF transfer form 13 on 27.05.2015, but it is still showing as “Your transfer in details for crediting new account has been received and the same is under process.” Is it really takes this much time ? Please clarify where it would have went wrong ?

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      February 27, 2016 at 6:21 PM

      Murali-No, it will not take this much time. Raise the complaint with EPFO Grievance portal.

        Hi Basavraj,

        Thank you for you quick response.

        I have raised the complaint with EPFO Grievance portal and the response is :

        “It is inform that as per office record previous transfer in from A/C to A/C already included in the system on 06/07/2015. ”

        But when i check the transfer status it is showing as specified in the previous post.

        where can i get the complete details about the present status of the transfer.

        Best Regards,
        Murali

    Hi,

    I have made a PF transfer from my old PF account to my new PF account.

    Today I received a SMS saying amount sent to A/C 10811684279 with IFSC CODE : SBIN0000847.

    This account is not at all mine. I have made a PF transfer but y is that amount transfer to a SBI account.

    Please advise if this amount will be transfered to my new PF account or sent to a wrong account by some fraud.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Rakesh

        Hi Basavaraj,

        So, you mean to say EPF has transferred money to its internal account and would transfer that again back to my new PF account is it ?

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
          February 25, 2016 at 10:34 AM

          Rakesh-Once that money transferred, they update the same in your EPF account.

    But when I check the account balance it still does not reflect the expected amount .

    I could still see amount in my previous account.

    Could you please let me know whether this is due to the EPFO database refresh latency

    When I was transferring the PF from my previous organization to current organization, then the system gave an error that the DOB entered in Part B of Form 13 is different from the one maintained in EPFO database.

    It seems that my previous organization has passed wrong data to the RPFC. In such case, how should I go for the transfer of funds – Both PF and Pension. Please support.

    Thanks,

      I also had the similar case, raise a complaint with EPFO, they will assign your request to a officer. Once the officer calls to your previous employer they will do it immediately.
      And thanks Basavaraj Sir, your advise is very helpful.

    Hi Basavaraj,

    I had received sms by EPFO that
    Form 13 (transfer) Claim ID : KDNSKXXXXXXXXX approved for payment through Cheque. Pmt under process.

    what does it mean?
    How the payment is done or it will directly transfer to linked account?

    please reply me in this regard.

    Has any one faced a similar issue? Any rescue on this situation?

    I am slightly worried as I cant see that Claim form is approved by my previous employer but the current status is shown as ‘request is In Transit between EPFO Out and In Office’ . Is there some process missing while I requested for online epf transfer .

    Is the claim to be essentially approved by previous employer for epf trasnfer ?

          Hi Basavraj,

          After initiating online pf transfer request I got the error : “Unable to create the pdf…”. And there is no record showing in Claim Status screen.
          I have written mail to “[email protected]”. Also called them on 1800118005 and got the response it will be rectified in 2-3 working days.
          Mean while I got an email from my previous employer that they received my online pf transfer claim and I have to submit signed copy with them by Jan 22nd 2016. Otherwise they would reject my claim.

          Now my query is if my claim is rejected due to above mentioned issue. Will I be eligible to resubmit the claim or I would never be allowed to claim again and my pf money would go in govt account.

          Regards

    I got a message today in the morning saying, “Form 13 (Transfer) Claim ID: XYZ approved for payment through Cheque. Pmt under process.

    So I had requested for a transfer, but here they are saying the payment will be done through cheque. I am a bit confused as to will I get the payment, or my current employer will get the payment?

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      January 12, 2016 at 6:18 PM

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:

                Thanks for your guidance. I had raised the complaint and got response that transfer is already done on 14-Jan and same amount is reflected when i checked the UAN statement. But the status remains same in the Claim portal as processing.

                While doing Transfer, I see some interest shown till 31-Mar-2016 in the statement, but could not get correct calculation which should have been for two months only Apr-May 2015.

                I stayed in April -May in my previous company in this financial year and from June in new company. Please let me know when is the interest credited for the financial year 2015-2016 in the PF accounts. If its automatically done during transfer or its given after the transfer is one and in the month of March/April 2016.

                    I am not able to get correct calculation for interest. Pls help me on that. I assumed, Interest will be paid along with the transfer for the two months I was part of Previous PF account / office in this FY year 2015-16. The remaining interest would be given in the March/April 2016. Please let me know how it will be done.

                    I understand that interest rate of this FY 201516 is not finalized yet, so if its already given for 2 /12 months during PF transfer, what interest rate it would have taken for calculation.

                    Thanks

                    I read your article on interest calculation. Its gives good information.

                    Can you also please guide me when a PF transfer is for a opening balance in a previous PF account, the interest will be calculated only with the available closing balance during transfer and not including future months in that financial year which should be done in the new PF account after FY year end? Please clarify

                    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
                      February 12, 2016 at 11:47 AM

                      Vishwanath-It will be on available balance for those months but not for future months.

                      Thank you.

                      I have calculated the PF interest which is paid during the transfer , I find a difference of 30% less in the interest amount given and I have followed as per your method for the calculation. I had followed exactly same way of calculation to arrive at interest earned for each month with only 3.67% considered for Employee share part for interest calculation.

                      Can I raise a request in grievance portal to validate the interest paid during transfer ?

                      Thanks

    Claim Form 13 for Transfer to New Account Number: AGAINST Old Member Account No XXXXX has been approved. Payment is under process.

    I have transferred PF from my previous organization.

    As per the EPFO site, the transfer claim has been settled and credited to the new account. But still I am not able to see the new account in the UAN portal, it shows only the previous employer details. How long will it take for the new account to get linked with the UAN portal ? Or do I need to do anything specific for the same?

    Hi There
    I raised PF transfer request few weeks back and it mistakenly got rejected. I raised a grievance to get the details, further which I received a call from EPFO office admitting their mistake. I was advised by EPFO to raise the transfer request again.
    However, when I try to raise a request again, I get a message that – “The attempted Request for Transfer of Account already exists on the system”.

    Please suggest what shall I do.

      Hi Pam,

      I also received a message recently from EPFO regarding a transfer claim through form 13. I haven’t filled in any transfer form. However, recently I filled the form 11 and my present employer linked the EPF account. It appears there has been an auto transfer claim created and transfer is being made automatically. Could you please share the details of your transfer – how long did it take and is the member’s involvement in the process required? Neither of my employers knows the details of the transfer.

      Many thanks,

    I have switched job. I had have an UAN number which was generated by my previous employer. But when I was applying for an online transfer I came to know that my name provided by my current organisation is wrong they have added an extra title. After that I have brought this to the management notice and they have send a letter and form 13 along with the dully filled physical transfer form. It has almost been two months and I have not seen any progress on this. Sir how much time does it generally takes to transfer the account in offline mode & will my name be rectified?? I also want to update my mobile number for the EPFO it can be done through this link http://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/ in the profile tab???. Will the same mobile number will be reflected on http://www.epfindia.com online transfer claim portal??/. Sir Do provide you valuable information.

    I have submitted my online transfer claim on 13th September 2015 to my Previous Employer. But after submitting the claim while taking print-out of my form to be send to my previous employer, I found some error on my form and I have not yet send the form to my previous employer and asked them to reject my claim, so that I can initiate a new claim. So far after asking them so many times they are not rejecting my claim and I am stuck as I cannot start a new claim till then.

    Please advise what can I do in this case to start a new claim and go ahead in the transfer.

    Also, I don’t think so they will be too supportive in helping me change the details from their side. Basically I want them to reject it and I will start a new claim and this time submit the form to my current employer.

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      December 7, 2015 at 10:09 AM

      Keyur-First raise the complaint with EPFO about pending transfer request. If it is processed then let it be. If rejected, then raise the request after the corrections.

    Dear Sir ,

    I have requested My EPF Tranfer from my Old PF number to New PF number on 8th September 2015.

    I have selected my Previous employer for approval and it is approved on 15th September 2015.

    Then 26th September 2015, I got a SMS from EPFOHO that my Form 13 (transfer) Claim id approved for payment through Cheque..Payment under process.

    still the status is showing as ” Your request is IN transit between EPFO out and IN office”.

    Could you please let me know how long this process will be completed and when I will get the Pf amount to be transferred to my new PF account number.

    Or let me know it’s there any possible way to cancel this transfer claim and I want to withdraw my PF amount from the old PF account. This will be very helpful for me.

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      December 4, 2015 at 7:28 PM

      Bharathikannan-It takes around 20-30 days. You can’t withdraw EPF when you are in job

    • Mukund says:
      December 15, 2015 at 2:44 PM

      Hi bharathikannan,

      I got the same sequence and my status also seems to be stuck at

      ” Your request is IN transit between EPFO out and IN office”.

      Any update on your transfer application?

      Thanks,
      Mukund

      • Karan says:
        December 24, 2015 at 5:18 PM

        I also got the same status and there was no update for over a month. Therefore I raised a grievance on EPFINDIA.com. I asked them if the Annexure-K has been sent to my employer. Also asked a copy of annexure-K on my email.

        I got a reply in 20 days saying that they have uploaded the annexure K on the portal and employer should be able to see it. They emailed a copy to me also.

        So the next steps should be :

        1. Raise a grievance with your previous RPFC. Ask them for the check date, check number and annexure -k
        2. Side be side reach your employer (previous / Current) based on whom did you raise your request. Check if they see the annexure-k on portal
        3. Once you receive the document from RPFC, forward it to employer for further processing.
        4. Oce the processing is completed by new employer, should see the details in next payslip / new PF acct number.

    Hi Basavaraj,

    I have changed my job from the organization maintaining Trust to the Organization maintaining PF with EPFO, thus I have manually filled the Form-13, same has been attested by my current Organization and one copy of the attested Form -13 I have mailed to EPFO office and second to previous Organization. From Past 2.5 Months the status is as below:

    Status : Your transfer in details for crediting new account has been received and the same is under process.

    What could be possible reason for the delay and what action I can take to process my Claim.

    Best Regards

    November 25, 2015 at 5:09 PM

    Hi Basavaraj,

    I have recently changed my job and provided my UAN to the new employer. My questions are:-
    1. How long it will take to map UAN with my new PF account(mapping request has already been raised by the new employer)?
    2. After completion of UAN mapping, my pf will be transferred automatically from old account to new account or I need to raise pf transfer request through OTCP portal?

    Please through some light on these.

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      November 26, 2015 at 10:20 AM

      Pam-1) No specific time frame mentioned. 2) No need to request for transfer. It is automatic.

        Dear Basavaraj,

        My case is same like Pam.
        I have got auto SMS from EPFO that they have got Claim form 13 for transfer on 9th Dec and same has been approved for payment through cheque on 15th Dec.
        My question is that how much time it would take to reflect the amount into my new PF account.

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
          December 16, 2015 at 10:07 AM

          Vishrit-It will reflect when they update the passbook in next cycle.

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
          December 1, 2015 at 9:31 AM

          Shrikanth-When you have UAN, then the old one will ONLY continue.

          • Shrikanth says:
            December 15, 2015 at 3:23 PM

    Hi Basavraj,
    I have applied online pf transfer to previous company to new company almost 8 months back.
    I have got the below status

    25 Apr 2015 Claim Form Submitted .
    05 Nov 2015 Claim Form Approved by Previous Employer .
    06 May 2015 Claim Form Approved by Present Employer .

    Current Status :Claim Form 13 for Transfer to New Account Number: AGAINST Old Member Account has been rejected. Rejection letter is under dispatch/ dispatched to address in your claim.

    Reason of rejection: The reason of rejection is not available in database. You may please contact RO/SRO BANGALORE for further details

    Now it is saying it is rejected but after that rejection msg on mobile again I got one more msg from EPFO saying your epf transfer in progress.

    What to do in this case.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,

    I changed my job about 4 months back. Last week, I applied for online transfer of pf account. I have two issues.

    1. I have changed my signature. My current signature does not tally with the old one. However, all my relevant documents bear my current signature. What should I do.
    2. Secondly, in the OTCP I entered a wrong date of Joining for my previous employee. I noticed this error only after submitting it online. Do I submit the form 13 pdf document to my current employee for approval or wait for 15 days for the claim to get rejected.
    3. If the claim is rejected, can I re-apply again online for transfer withdrawal.

    Please advise.

    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Regards,
    Vishal

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      November 22, 2015 at 8:10 PM

    Thanks and regards

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
          November 20, 2015 at 12:32 PM

          Saket-It shows that your account is idle for more than 3 years without any contribution. Hence, better to withdraw. As this is inoperative account and idle for more than 3 years, you will not get any interest on this amount. Hence, apply for withdrawal.

    Since then, there is no update and my new account is not reflecting thee total amount.

    Can you please guide me on this

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      November 18, 2015 at 6:04 PM

      • AKSHAY says:
        November 19, 2015 at 2:00 PM

        The PF transfer was done manually. I contacted Chennai PF office and they said the NEFT was done in September only. However, The amount has not been received in my new pf account number which is Bandra.

        That means the amount has been lying in the suspense account of SBI where NEFT was done.

        On contacting Bandra PF office yesterday. They stated that may be the annexure K is missing which needs to be sent from Chennai office.

        I am not sure how to proceed further

        1. Either it was not sent from Chennai office ( which i think is not true)
        2. It got lost somewhere in thee way while sending by post.

        What can be done now?

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
          November 19, 2015 at 4:52 PM

    I changed jobs and tried to do online of transfer. I got a message that a claim already exists, though, I cannot see any claim under view claim status. On 3rd Nov, I got a message that form 13 has been received and on 6th Nov I got a message that the amount is approved for cheque payment.

    The point is, after my initial few attempts of online of transfer and lack of seeing the claim under online claim status, I haven’t done anything. Nor have I submitted any documents.

    I am worried if this is a fraud happening on my account. Please let me know of any information that you know about this.

On 26th I got the message from EPFO saying “The Member details of your previous employment have been verified by Previous Employer” Later after few days (3rd November, 2015). I received another message from EPFO saying “Your claim xxxxx pending with employer. It may get rejected after 06 if a signed copy is not submitted , Ignore if already submitted”

    I had submitted signed copy to employer day I completed online transfer (22nd October, 2015). On enquiring the status with my current employer I got to know “Employer digital signature got expired and he has sent a mail to EPFO and Employer approval will be done only after getting the new digital signature”

    My queries

    Current employer can approve Transfer request any time correct ? without looking at the stipulated period of 15 days

    Any reason for rejecting the transfer request , No need to go back to Previous employer right as it is already verified by Previous employer

    Incase if any rejection happens what is the next procedure.

    Kindly let me know your advice/suggestions

    Thanks
    Padmavathi

      Padmavati-It is procedural delay of getting digital signature of employer. Hence, if the delay persists, then request for physical format of transfer.

      • Padmati says:

        I have a problem with previous employer and hence I cannot go to previous employer. So for Physical format of Transfer no need to go to Previous employer right as Previous employer verification done in my case

        Thanks

                Now I don’t have to bother about Previous Employer right? Still there is any action needed from my previous employer ?

                Please let me know your thoughts.

                    Hi Basavaraj,

                    Today I see my PF Transfer status as “”Your claim has been settled and credited in to your new account “. So I understand PF Transfer has completed. I tried to check my PF Balance with new Account. But I don’t see any updates it was same as I had checked 2-3 months before. Also I tried to download Pass Book from UAN site. But I have not seen my New Employee PF , Based on your previous post, I understands , I need to wait till my passbook get updated. Kindly let me know what is the frequency of PASS book updates

                    Thanks
                    Padmavati

                      Hi Basavaraj,

                      I don’t see my UAN is linked to New Employer’s PF number, Whenever I go to UAN site I can my previous employer PF Number is linked to UAN and I can download Pass book. Linking UAN with PF number from New employer can be done by New Employer only or I can also do this individually . Please provide me more details

                      Thanks

                      Padmavati-Once you provide the UAN, then linking and contributing to old EPF is employer’s issue. Check the same once again with your employer.

                      Hi Basavaraj,

                      I am actually trying to respond back to your comment Padmavati-Once you provide the UAN, then linking and contributing to old EPF is employer’s issue. Check the same once again with your employer.””

                      But I don’t see reply option here so thought of updating here

                      I checked with current employer and I got the response saying *This is done by PF office so you need to wait until you get message from them. I don’t have turn around time on this. *

                      What to do here?

                      Thanks

    Hi,
    Thank you so much for clarifying all doubts. I have one.

    I recently initiated by PF transfer. Bot the organizations are Exempted, so in OTCP Portal I initiated the transfer using the pension account number. Below is the status for the claim #***5026
    07 Oct 2015 Claim Form Submitted .
    02 Nov 2015 Claim Form Approved by Previous Employer .
    08 Oct 2015 Claim Form Approved by Present Employer .

    The PF transfer is complete and I have received the amount to my present employer’s PF account. I have a doubt on the EPS transfer. How can I track it?

    Also, I have another doubt. I recently received another email from EPFO team stating
    “Your Transfer Claim is submitted under Tracking ID ****8803 . You may track the processing of your transfer claim on the portal using Tracking ID/ Member ID/ Mobile number.”

    The claim transfer id I initiated and the claim id I received in this email are different and I don’t see the new transfer claim id anywhere. Can you help from where I can check the status?

    Thanks,
    Rohit

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:

        I have relieved from the services without completing the service period due to health reasons..and i was almost not in job for 4 months after relieving. When i joined in a new job i have applied for transfer and it is been rejected by them

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
          November 5, 2015 at 8:02 PM

          Mahe-Why?

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
          November 6, 2015 at 3:31 PM

          Mahe-No need to worry. Take the help of your current employer and write a letter to EPFO and submit the physical transfer mode than the online. In that, mention that due to the said reasons last employer not approving the request. Hence, submitting the transfer through physical mode.

    Hi,

    I have not initiated any transfer request for my PF account : UAN : xxxxx. However, I got 2 messages from BZ-EPFOHO on my mobile number xxxxx as below :

    MSG 1 :

    Your Transfer Claim is submitted under Tracking ID xxxxxx. You may track the processing of your transfer claim on the portal using Tracking ID/ Member ID/ Mobile number.

    MSG 2 :
    Your transfer in details for crediting new account has been received and the same is under process.

    Since I have not initiated any transfer claims, why am I getting these messages ? I checked my account and no transfer claims are shown in my online account. Should I be worried ?

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      November 4, 2015 at 10:27 AM

      Shubham-It may be due to your new job change and providing UAN with new employer. If you not changed the job recently, then raise the issue with EPFO.

    Thanks for doing such a good job of handling anxious questions and doubts and I too have some. Following is the Claim Transfer Status as of now:

    15 Oct 2015 Claim Form Submitted .
    16 Oct 2015 Claim Form Approved by Previous Employer .
    20 Oct 2015 Claim Form Approved by Present Employer .

    31 Oct 2015 Form 13 (Transfer) Claim Id: XXXX approved for payment through cheque. Pmt under process.
    Current Status :Your request is In Transit between EPFO Out and In Office.

    My Doubts:

    1. Where this cheque will be dispatched?
    i.e.
    To my Current/Past Employer or My Communication address? OR
    Will be credited to my company’s account and will be settled next month?

    2. What are the steps followed after my Current Status?

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:

    Dear Sir,

    Had one query, the status of my PF transfer online shows that ” Your request is in transit between EPFO In and Out Office” from the past 6 months. I contacted my EPFO Office through mail to ask what this means. They sent in a reply saying that the EPS has been credited to my current PF Account but they have not received PF accumulations from my ex PF trust.

    When I had a word with my ex PF trust, they said that they have not received any formal letter from the EPFO office asking them to transfer the PF to my current PF Account.

    Can you please help and let me know what I should do now. What is the process once both the employers approve the online PF claims, does the EPFO contact the ex employer through a letter etc. basis which they release the PF Accumulations?

    Regards,
    Neha

    Hi, I have submitted my transfer claim in april,2015 through previous employer. Still the status is “It’s in transit from in In-Out PF office”. What does it mean?

    When I try to get the balance of my old pf account, it says “This account has already been settled”. But I can’t see the amount in my new PF account.

    Kindly suggest me what can I do? How much time it takes amount to get transferred?

    Hi Basvaraj,

    In my previous establishment and current establishment date of birth mismatch found, so current employer was unable to transfer the claim in the current one. I made a request to change the details which were found using “The following information in incorrect”. A form Revised 5/10 generated and i submitted through my previous employer about 2 weeks ago. Request you to help me in this regards as there is no status update. My previous establishment was with Thane and current one is with Vashi.

    One more thing my new employer can give me UAN no without transfer of previous funds.

    Request you to leave a copy of reply on my mail as well; this will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    I had submitted the request for the PF Transfer and today I hve received a Message from EPF saying that the amount has been settled and it has been sent to some A/C XXXXXXXXXX and IFSC Code SBINXXXX454. But I have checked with my current establishement that they dont maintained any account with the SBI bank. Could you please advice. I am worried

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:

    Dear Basavaraj,

    Response would really be helpful, as i am not knowing what to do.
    I understand there is no separate process to transfer EPF and EPS, but i guess here since EPF was maintained by trust it has caused an issue.

    already once form 13 was submitted when transfering from HP to accenture, during which i think EPS was not transfered, and accenture is again asking me to submit form 13, would this be right way of doing it, or you would suggest something else? I am really stuck in between and need your asssistance Thanks!

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:

    24 Aug 2015 Claim Form Submitted .

    I had submitted for PF closure and withdrawal via Form 19 and 10C

    I got message from EPFO that my PF settlement claim is approved for payment through Cheque.
    I was expecting that the payment would be directly credited electronically to my S.B.account.

    Please let me know will i get cheque to my home address or bank or it will be electronically credited directly to my SB ac.

    Also i got approval messages for form 10c and another for PF settlement. so will there be two separate settlements?
    kindly respond.

    I submitted the PF transfer claim form on 14-Jan-15. My previous employer approved the form on 20-Jan-15 and my present employer approved the form on 04-Feb-15. Now the claim status shows as approved by both the employers. But I didn’t get any message from EPFO regarding the transfer claim complete or so. It’s been already 9 months. How do I know my PF money has been transferred. If I see my old passbook online it shows the total amount under old account and the new passbook only shows the amount deposited by new employer. My name spells wrong in my old PF account as compared to new PF account. I am not sure if the claim is rejected or completed, I didn’t get any intimation. Please advise. Thanks..!!

    Now, I have received a message stating that my claim ID has been approved for payment through cheque. pmt under process. I am kinda confused about the word cheque.

But, I would like to know if the EPF amount will be transferred to my salary account which I had provided during the form submission (online) – meaning if I’d be able to withdraw the cash after it is transferred ? Please let me know.

    The Present Establishment PYBOM0011394000 chosen by you have not registered Digital Signature Certificate on the portal. Please submit it physically to the Employer.

    I did apply for online pf transfer. I have UAN number. Both previous and current has approved the claim. I saw on UAN portal passbook amount under Withdrawlas Claim against PARA 57(1) and interest updated upto 31/03/2016. It is transfer from UNEXEMPTED ESTABLISHMENT to EXEMPTED PF TRUST. Now both Employee and Employer share shows 0 in passbook.
    Does it mean amount already transferred ? When I can see passbook updated ? Would EXEMPTED PF TRUST also update passbook entry ? Also do EXEMPTED PF TRUST follow same rule and regulations as UNEXEMPTED ESTABLISHMENT ? Also why DOE ( date of exit ) is not updated yet on portal ?

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      September 13, 2015 at 2:10 PM

      Ashish-They update usually in April. Yes, all entries will show in passbook (irrespective exempted or whatever).

    Hi

    My EPF is transferred from my 2nd company to 3rd in April-2014 but EPS amount is not transferred yet. In my 2nd company EPF and EPS account number was same. What should I do for getting it transfer?

    My EPS transfer from 1st company was also pending so I applied for transfer but it was rejected mentioning that it was already transferred to my 2nd company account but in my 2nd company account statement I am not able to see the amount (however I applied separately in my second company as in my first company EPF and EPS account number was different). What should I do for getting EPS transfer from 1st account.

    Thanks in Advance

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      September 13, 2015 at 1:54 PM

      Piyush-There is no separate process to transfer EPS. EPS will follow EPF.

    Hi,

    I changed my employer recently that is Jun 11th 2015. I got the PF account number from my current employer and now it is linked with my UAN number.

    I am yet to initiate PF transfer request.
    But few days back on Aug 21st, I received an SMS from EPF saying transfer form 13 has been submitted. And on Aug 25th I got another SMS saying the transfer claim has been approved for payment through cheque.

    Below are my Old PF account details:
    PF No: PY/BOM/11394/000/200700
    Claim ID mentioned in SMS: PYBOM150850002240

    I checked with my current employer, he has not raised the transfer request.
    Can you please let me know, if it is possible to know who has raised this transfer request?

    I tried to raise an online transfer request, but since there is already a request, I am unable to do so. I need the hardcopy of the Form13, as my old PF is maintained by the PF trust of the company.

    What should be the next steps?

    Can you please help me in this regard?

    Thanks,
    Regards,
    Raghuram

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      September 7, 2015 at 7:19 PM

      Raghuram-I think it is procedure error. For your future reference of whether your own old account transferred or not, raise the issue with EPFO.

  • Raghav Rao K says:
    September 4, 2015 at 12:38 PM

    Hello Basavaraj,

    I had submitted a claim for PF transfer from old organization which is OLD PF NO MHBAN00456650000222526 (MUMBAI) to NEW PF NO : PYBOM00130150000056136 (BANGALORE).

    I submitted Form 16 to my new organization and both old and new organization have approved it. Now the problem :

    – From August 13th 2015 i see this status in website : “””Your request is In Transit between EPFO Out and In Office.”””
    However on my registered mobile i received a message on : 22nd August 2015 as below :

    Form 13 (Transfer) Claim ID : MHBAN150850001655 rejected. Rejection letter is under dispatch.

    If you see the number of the PF Office that has rejected is not same as my old account number. Is there any relationship? And if it is rejected why is it not reflecting in the website?

    As you mentioned in one of the post above, i have even registered a grievance through the portal that you mentioned in one of your post above.

    Can you please advice what i need to do next? You seem really knowledgeable in PF process, Thanks a lot!

    Regards
    Raghav

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      September 5, 2015 at 8:14 AM

      • Raghav Rao K says:
        September 5, 2015 at 11:33 PM

        This is in line with your response for my earlier query. How long do you think i can wait for the letter?since its almost a month now and i have not received any letter, and does a hard copy be delivered, or a soft copy?

        • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
          September 6, 2015 at 11:50 AM

              September 22, 2015 at 6:29 PM

              Hello,

              This is inline with my earlier query. i want to give you more details of my query. I was working in organization A and shifted to another organization B. In org A my PF was maintained by the trust of the company. And after joining company B i submitted form 13 hard copies, and after sometime i requested for status from my earlier company A, and received the PF transfer out amount details and the annexure K details.

              Now with in 6 months due to personal reason i joined another organization from B to C. And now i raised an online claim through member claim portal.
              It was approved by organization B and C, however rejected by the PF office of old organization B telling PF details was not provided by Orgnization B.

              I contacted the organization B, and this was the info provided by them :

              “Please Note that PF office requires your previous pension details. Hence request you to contact you previous PF office and arrange a scan copy of Annexure K of PF and Pension transfer. So our OF office will be able to release Pension Amount”.

              So this means i need to contact my first organization “A” PF office, but this was maintained by a trust, for this i have received Annexure K and amount details as mentioned above, would that be sufficient?? Or i need to do something else? This is my first time doing a PF transfer, and facing issues. Can you please assist me? Please let me know more details..

              • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
                September 24, 2015 at 5:42 PM

                Raghav-I think they unnecessarily creating issue. Why you have to run behind a trust or EPFO? They have to get the information and provide you transfer facility. Better you raise this issue on EPFO Grievance Portal.

                • Raghav Rao K says:
                  September 25, 2015 at 8:44 PM

                  Hello Again,

                  Thanks a lot in advance for your assistance!!!

                  I already raised grievance 3 times, 2 times with current PF office, and once with old office, and this was the response received :

                  from Previous Office(Bangalore Bommasandra) :

                  PF transfer may be sought from HP PF Trust. As the EPS account PY/BOM/13015/56136 pertains to members present account, the required confirmation on the said transfer may be sought from the pf office handling members previous pf/eps account number

                  Accenture Office ( Mumbai, Bandra) :

                  1st Response :

                  Your claim form has been returned/rejected due to FPF details (Pension details) not received from Previous establishment. Kindly submit form 13 for FPF details from Previous establishment.

                  2nd Response :

                  Your claim form 13 recd and rejected on 19.08.2015 as the family pension details not recd from your previous establishment/RPFC. hence you are requested to submit F-13 for FPF details to be called from your previous establishment.

                  To add more details, i joined HP my first company where PYBOM00130150000056136 was my first PF account, and then i joined accenture and got PF account , MHBAN00456650000222526

                  I now provided form16 hard copies and got PF amount transfered from HP PF TRUST To Accenture PF account

                  Now with in 6 months, i joined back HP due to personal reasons and Now i have the SAME PF account as 1st i.e PYBOM00130150000056136.

                  I think this is the issue, as my old PF account is now my current PF account. And i am really confused as to what i need to do.. 🙁 Need your assistance and steps, as i already raised grievance multiple times, no wonder people prefer to withdraw PF amount when they change an organization.

                    Raghav-You left HP and moved to Accenture and again moved back to HP right? Now you want to transfer the Accenture EPF back to HP EPF right?

                    • Raghav Rao K says:
                      September 27, 2015 at 9:52 AM

                      Hello,

                      Yes that is right, i moved to Accenture from HP, and with in 6 months back to HP, hence my PF account number in HP is still the same old one used earlier.

                      I used hard copies of form16 to initially to transfer amount from HP to Accenture(But i guess only PF amount was transferred but not EPS)

                      Now when i raised a request to transfer from Accenture back to HP, they are raising a concern that EPS details are not provided. I am not sure how i need to proceed.

    I recently changed my previous organization HCL tech to new Organization and on my last payslip I was having the PF//Pension No as : xxx Trust Gn/GGN/5572/171472.
    But on my all previous payslips Pension No also given as HIL EPF Trust – HR/5572/171472 // RPFC – HR/5572/112993
    Now issue is I tried transferring in EPFO site, In Part B, I have given PF num 171472 and I have got below message
    “Since membership details in respect of member ID GNGGN00055720000171472 not available on the portal, you cannot submit the transfer claim online. It is advised to submit physical claim thorough previous or present employer.”
    And now I have given Pension No 112993 and I got below message in green
    “Your previous establishment GNGGN0005572000 is exempted under PF (handled by Trust) and unexempted under Pension. Your Pension Scheme is handled by RO GURGAON.”
    Could you please help
    1. Can I procced transfer claim by using Pension No?
    2. Why the error is coming for PF and NOT for Pension no?
    3. If I can’t procced with transfer of my claim, what should be next step?

    Kindly guide me sir

    I asked my current employer and previous employer, they are asking me to check with EPF office or write a greivance to them. Please tell me if I can write to some email id. I wrote to [email protected], as well as [email protected] , but getting a delivery failure for my mails.

    Please advice. Thank you.

    I had applied OTCP my previous PF account to current one and the same form submitted and approved by both previous and current PF establishment online, but later it has been rejected by RPFO without assign any reason, I got a SMS ” FORM13 CALIM ID: GGN/GN……1556 rejected. and rejection letter is under dispatch” even after a month or so I am not able to find the reason. I raised a grievance on line with EPFO and status on mail provided is below “”This is with reference to your Grievance registered vide Registration Number HRGGN/E/2015/05677.
    It is informed that after processing your grievance,the following action(s) has been taken:
    It is to inform you that the establishment registered under PF code No. HR/GGN/26237 is an exempted establishment, PF is maintained by its Trust so that any PF query please contact Trust only. Member may ask regarding query of EPS with providing the EPS No””
    now I am struck not able to raise the same again and also reason for rejection once it was approved by both present n previous EPF establishment online.

    Dear Sir
    I joined a new Org leaving my previous employer
    and applied for a online transfer claim
    The claim portal says

    29 Dec 2014 Claim Form Submitted .

    01 Jan 2015 Claim Form Approved by Present Employer .
    Current Status :Your request is In Transit between EPFO Out and In Office.

    Hello Greeting,

    I raised online transfer claim through previous employer to current and current status is claim approved by previous employer.
    I got message from EPFO is “Claim form 13 for transfer for Member Acct PUPUN0307736000000026 received on 21st aug 2015 and Claim ID PUPUN150850001655 is under process.

    My question is that when I seen on EPFO portal it not shows Claim ID (PUPUN150850001655) which got in message.

    I am little bit confused on this Claim ID, I know about Tracking ID which got when online transfer claim filed.
    Please request to you, clarify my doubt.

    Thanks a lot…..

My earlier employer wrongly updated my name in EPF data base as “VENU GOPAL RAO” whereas my correct name is “VENU GOPALA RAO GANNAVARAPU”. My current employer has properly updated records. recently i have applied for online PF account transfer. Will EPF agree to transfer my claim as my names are mismatching. Please guide me. venu

    August 22, 2015 at 2:20 PM

    Hello Sir,

    I changed my job in May and have submitted Form-13 to my present employer. My previous job was in Bangalore and new job is in Hyderabad. My new employer created another PF account and i could see both (Bangalore PF account and Hyderabad PF account) accounts under my UAN. On 18th August i received an SMS saying that my entire money from Old PF account has been deposited to an SBI A/C number – 10811684279, Hyderabad Main Branch.I enquird with SBI and found that this account belongs to EPF. I checked my old account passbook and saw this transaction under “Claim Against Para 57(1)”. However, I neither see this amount reflecting in my New PF account passbook nor i see this claim under my UAN login!

    On 20th August i received couple of messages mentioning “Form13 Claim approved for payment through Cheque. Pmt under process” & “Claim form 13 for transfer for member act received and claim id # is under process.”

    I am really confused, as my old PF account passbook is already updated with NO BALANCE. And i don’t see this amount in new passbook.. Could please guide me what should i do in this case?

    Thanks,
    Suresh.

    I have joined PwC on April, and raised a PF transfer through my current employer. But the claim has been rejected stating that ‘It is informed that the member claim was rejected due to F/5 particulars not uploaded in the system in present employment by the employer. Hence claim rejected and called for clarification regarding this. Hence member may advised to contact present employer and submit the same after the rectifying the above issue.’, but my employer says that ‘PwC india has its own pf trust hence Form 5 is not required for PF transfer.’
    What should I do now? Please help.

    Hi,

    I Joined in Infosys in Jan 2015 , I applied for my PF transfer in Feb 2015. In july the status in EPF site is Transfer is approved and Payment is under process.

    I Checked with with my current employer since its almost 6 months back I have applied for transfer but not yet credited in my current PF Account. They suggested me to Apply through OTCP now. Same thing I did and status till 18th aug is Submitted and approved by Employer and EPF OFiice, Payment is under process.

    Today 19th aug I checkd again in EPF site again, Its showing that my new transfer claim is rejected and Earlier I applied one is under process.

    1st I applied in manual forms(Feb-2015) that Status : Claim Form 13 for Transfer to New Account Number: AGAINST Old Member Account No (PYKRP00184530000017730) has been approved. Payment is under process.

    2nd I applied in Online OTCP Portal (Aug-2015) that Status : Claim Form 13 for Transfer to New Account Number: AGAINST Old Member Account has been rejected. Rejection letter is under dispatch/ dispatched to address in your claim.
    Reason of rejection: The reason of rejection is not available in database. You may please contact RO/SRO KRPURAMWHITEFIELD for further details

    In my first case status is approved and payment is under process from July onwards. till now no progress

    In this case what I have to do now? How long I have tom wait again. Please suggest me on this.

    Regards,
    Galeeb T

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:

      • rajesh says:
        August 19, 2015 at 3:47 PM

        In passbook I am able to see total amount till Mar 2015 and interest till march 2016.

        When I can expect the transfer? Usually how many days they took to update passbook?

        Do I need to work on followups or they can take care?

        Because its almost 1 month back its approved and status changed to Payment is under process.

    I have initiated PF transfer through my previous employer and my current PF transfer status is being shown as below:

    03 Aug 2015 Claim Form Submitted .
    17 Aug 2015 Claim Form Approved by Previous Employer .

    I can now see 2 forms namely RO-SRO and APPD.

    Can you please advise me on the next steps? Do I need to submit anything to my current employer as well? or the process will continue automatically?

    Because I see many people also have “Claim Form Approved by Present Employer” in their statuses. So I just wanted to know if I need to submit anything or do any follow up with my current employer as well.

    Please guide.

    Thank you.

    Hi Basavaraj,

    I recently changed my job and after linking my new PF account with UAN, once fine data I received that a SMS from EPFO that my Claim 13 has been received and then approved and finally a SMS saying that it has been settled and transfer to A/C no. 10977236011 (IFSC code – SBIN0000813).

    I am not sure who initiated this transfer, as I have not done. And I am not sure the A/c to which money has been transferred is whose – whether it is EPFO internal account or some wrong account.

    Can you please help in understanding how to check whether the transfer has been done correctly in my new PF account?

    Hi,
    I have filled up the online request for transfer of account, but made a mistake. I got confused in PF account no with EPFO office and PF account no in trust, and filled both as same. Please suggest me what can be done now and should i continue sending the hard copies to my previous and present employer.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I was trying to transfer my PF online from previous org. to current org…but got confused & seek some clarity & suggestion from your end. My previous Co is exempted under PF & unexempted under Pension – I figured out that, I’ve a separate EPF no & EPS no.Now while filling up the Part-B online with EPF no, it shows some other Member’s name; whereas while putting the EPS no. it reflects my name..but the other info like Father’s name, DoJ,DoL is missing.

    If I have to go for online transfer, how is it that my EPF no showing some other member’s name!! which has created a bit of confusion. What do I do now? Pls suggest.

    • Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
      August 1, 2015 at 10:00 AM

    Hi,

    I have filled online transfer form , and in status message is showing like below.

    28 Oct 2014 Claim Form Submitted .
    03 Nov 2014 Claim Form Approved by Previous Employer .
    29 Oct 2014 Claim Form Approved by Present Employer .
    Current Status :Your request is In Transit between EPFO Out and In Office

    As already it took long time I have raised grievance in both source(Pune) and destination(Chennai) RPFC and get below answer from both offices.

    Reply from RPFC Pune:
    With reference to your grievance, it is to inform you that your transfer claim was settled and an amount of Rs.93390/- has been transferred to TN/MAS/31309/263898 through NEFT vide Ch. No.810993 and same has been credited on 17/11/2014. Hence, you are requested to contact your present employer / PF Office regarding the same.

    Reply from RPFC Chennai:
    It is informed that the no transfer in amount from PU/PUN/34224/56090 has been received till date. The member is requested to contact RPFC Pune for further details.

    Could you please suggest what should I do now.

    Thanking you,

        July 31, 2015 at 4:50 PM

        Hi Basavaraj/Neelanjan,

        My current status of PF transfer is as below:

        13 July 2015 Claim Form Submitted .
        26 July 2015 Claim Form Approved by Previous Employer .
        30 July 2015 Claim Form Approved by Present Employer .

        What is the next step? There is a new form (a filled Form 13) available in the OTCP website uploaded to my PF transfer request, which gives the following instructions. Can you please let me know if I need to submit the Form 13 again to the Current/Previous employer? Or do I just wait to get the status to change?

        INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES
        1. Member has the option to get his/her claim form attested/digitally signed by the present or the previous
        employer. In case of signature by the previous employer, time taken in settlement will be less.
        2. The member should sign the online generated form and submit the same to the employer (previous or
        present) as per his option while filling the form.
        3. In case the Previous Account was maintained by PF Trust of the exempted establishment, the member
        should submit a Form 13 to the Trust that maintained the previous PF Account and another Form 13 to the
        employer (previous or present, as per his option while filling the form) for attestation/digital signature of the
        employer.
        4. The Form should be submitted to that PF Office under which previous or the present account is
        maintained, depending upon as to which employer has attested the claim. (In case the claim is attested by
        the present employer, claim should be submitted with the PF Office under which the present account is
        maintained, and so on).
        5. The Bank Address is for verification purpose even if the Fund will be transferred to the EPFO Office/Trust
        maintaining the present account number.

    When I tried transferring online transfer of my PF balance from my previous company to present PF account, my date of birth detail for the previous PF account number was shown empty and I was not able to proceed any more.

    I raised a complaint with PF office. After a month got a response from them saying they have corrected this. But I still see the same issue in UAN PF transfer site.

    What do I do now. Can you let me know the process for paper based PF transfer.

    • Anup says:

      Please go through the present employer and transfer the account physically, when we transfer our account online that time all document should be same as Name, DOB, Fahter name etc, so You Have to submit your Transfer claim Physically by Present Employer.

    Now when I apply for a fresh transfer of the same PF account (source account). The portal says the claim is already raised.

    Can anyone suggest, if there is a time limit as to when the fresh claim can be submitted after a claim has been rejected?

    Hi Sir,

    I worked in Chennai Location from 13/07/2011 to 12/04/2013 and I moved to Hyderabad and I joined in another Company. But, I didn’t transfer my PF and I left the company in Hyderabad after serving for 7 Months as the project is closed and I applied the PF for Hyderabad Company and I received in 45 days.

    Now I am Working in another Company in Hyderabad from 04/08/2014 to till date and I transferred my PF of Chennai Company to My Current Company which I am Working in Hyderabad through online on 02/06/2015.

    02 June 2015 Claim Form Submitted .
    11 June 2015 Claim Form Approved by Previous Employer .
    11 June 2015 Claim Form Approved by Present Employer .

    Both the Payers approved, So I went to PF office in Hyderabad with the Attested Approved Form by the Current Employer. The Officer at the PF office stated that It will be Transferred through Online and no need to submit the form to PF Office as it is transferred through online. It’s been more than 40 Days But, Still I didn’t get any Status from the PF Office that my PF has been Transferred to my current account. Kindly, Please suggest what to do next..

So, far I have not received any kind of status the it is in pending or in review status by the PF office. Do I need to send the Employer’s approved form to Chennai PF office or to the PF office in Hyderabad !!? Because, I took the Form to Hyderabad PF Office but, they stated amount will be transferred through online. Please suggest me what to do next and whom to contact as I struck in here and it’s been more than 45 days and havn’t received any kind of status from the PF Office . Thank you.

      I’m in similar situation as like you. Just one doubt I have –

      Did you sent the form to present employer as well? As I can see you have approved claim by previous employer first and then present employer. How present employer approved it if you have not sent any form to them?

      In my case, I have sent form to my previous employer ONLY and now it is approved by them.

      Can you please brief your claim process here.

        Need to know what to do Next.

    After switching my job, I got my new PF account linked to the UAN provided by the previous employer. Now both pf accounts are under the same UAN.
    In my previous PF account, there is a slight mistake in my fathers name, spelling KHEEM as KHEEN. All other info is matching.
    Q1. Will this affect my online transfer claim, or there are some chances of getting accepted? I am planning to claim with this data only.
    Q2. Can i claim again with correct details if this claim is rejected?
    Q3. Can I withdraw the amount from previous pf account after the claim gets rejected?

    Kindly reply asap. Its urgent.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Gaurav

    Hello There,

    I have submitted the form in online to transfer my previous PF to my present account,I have submitted my claim form via previous employer but they are not processing Now my present employer is having a digital signature and they told me that they can process now but unfortunately when I tried to submit the online form to present employer it was showing the same claim.

    30 Jun 2015 Claim Form Pending at Previous Employer .
    05 Mar 2015 Claim Form Approved by Present Employer .

    Why Previous Employer still pending…….what might be reason…

    I contacted my previous employer, they told me that,

    Kindly confirm if you have sent the originally signed hard copy of your transfer form to us.

    We would require that form to verify your details after which we will be approving your claim.

    Should i provide original signed copy or scan copy of pf transfer…?

    I am in bangalore, my prev employer in delhi.

    Please suggest me…….
    Thanks

    Hi,

    I am trying to do online transfer.
    After I enter all the information in the portal, I enter the text and click on “GET PIN” button.
    Now I am supposed to get a PIN and use that to submit.
    But, I am not getting the PIN.
    I tried 15-20 times in last 4-5 days. I am not at all getting the PIN.

    To check if there is problem with mobile number, I tried downloading the PASSBOOK.
    This also I tried several times and got PIN once – the SMS came after about 4 hours!!

    So, I want to know, if anybody else has faced this issue? Any idea how to get this resolved and do online submission?

    I have one more query:
    After I enter the PF number, I get the details bu clicking on a button.
    With the current company’s PF number, I am getting my full name “NARENDRA KUMAR S S”
    But, with previous company, I am getting my shortname “NARENDRA” only.
    So, is this ok? Or should I get the correction done?
    Could this be the reason for not getting the SMS?

    Please suggest.

    Thanks and Regards,

    I applied for transfer of my PF account through my present employer in the year 2013, after waiting for long i checked the status online it was rejected.
    Then i thought to re-apply for it via Online portal , however when i was filling the details i saw that my date of leaving DOE was incorrect in the PF database , then i contacted my previous employer for the same and they told me to send PF transfer form to them and they will apply for it. Now when they applied again the Transfer was rejected . Now when i apply transfer online i see correct details but not able to process request since it shows me that the request is already in process. But the status of PF transfer shows rejected and letted is sent.
    please help what to do now…its almost been 2 years…very frustrated

      Pradeep-I think it is no co-ordination of EPF office. You have to wait to find the status.

          Manoj-They can’t do so. If they not approve then you can complain the same with EPFO.

            Hi Basavaraj,

            Thanks for the reply.

            I got below reply from my previous employer, Can you suggest.

            Hi Manoj,

            We have checked with our PF consultant and your PF transfer claim request has not come to us because you have not selected previous employer as attestation, hence request you to re-raise and keep the previous employer as attestation. Once when we received the request same will be approved.

              Manoj-Then you have to raise the request once again.

                Hi Basavaraj,

                When am raising same request it shows request already in the system so unable to raise again also i cant do chages or delete the original request.

                Can you suggest procedure to reraise/delete/amend.

                Status : My present employer has approved the same

                Thanks,

                    Manoj-If process is allowing it then it is legal as per him. Otherwise, it is required attestation.
