Hi Basavaraj Tonagatti, in my UAN account I saw 2 EPF account numbers, I resigned my job June 2018, after 2 months I tried to do final settlement, but query I saw u have 2 accounts please transfer old account to new account. I tried to transfer through my old employer. Then I saw error message u r previous establishment details are not matched with new establishment, so we can’t claim u r request. I checked what is wrong in that, my old establishment exit date 6/6/2018, and my new establishment joining date 26/05/2018. This is the reason I asked my old employer but they are not responding. What I have to do I don’t know, all my KYC updated in my UAN account. Can you suggest without help of employer can we change exit date of my old establishment. ?

Dear Ravi,
Approach the regional EPFO for the same.
GANESH MAJUMDER
I want to know is it possible to deposit any arbitrary amount in PO MIS or it should be multiple of Rs. 100 or Rs.1500?
I want to deposit in PO MIS Rs. 3,89,600/- to get Rs. 2500/- p.m. @ 7.7%. Is it possible? Or I need to deposit Rs. 3,90,000/-?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Ganesh,
It is always in multiples of Rs.1,500. Hence, you are not allowed to invest as you mentioned.
