Effective from 27th May 2017, you can now transfer EPF online using EPF Unified portal. Earlier option of using OTCP (Online Transfer Claim Portal) is no more in use now. Hence, let us understand the process.
As I pointed above, earlier there was a separate portal meant for requesting online transfer claims. However, from 27th May 2017, that process was also brought into EPF Unified Portal.
Who can use transfer EPF online using EPF Unified portal?
Before jumping into trying of this feature, first, let us understand who are eligible to transfer EPF online using EPF Unified portal.
# You must be KYC complied.
# Those employees whose Aadhaar, Bank Account, Bank IFSC details seeded against their UAN in the Unified portal will only be able to transfer EPF online using EPF Unified portal.
# However, Aadhaar is not mandatory for submitting an online transfer request.
# Your date of exit with reasons of exit from the previous establishment should be available in the unified portal.
# Your date of joining should also be available in the unified portal.
# Only one transfer request against the previous member ID can be accepted.
How to transfer EPF online using EPF Unified portal?
Now you understood the eligibility conditions for transfer EPF online using EPF Unified portal. Let us move on and try to understand the procedure for the same.
Step 1-Visit EPF Unified Portal Login Page.
Step 2-Then the home page looks like below. Here, you have to select the option “Online Servies”.
Step 3-From the drop-down menu from Online Services, select “Transfer Request”.
Step 4-When you click the “Transfer Request” tab, then you can see your personal information like your name, bank details, contact details and all other stuff. Along with that, you will also the see the latest EPF account to which you want to transfer your old EPF account. The screen looks like below.
Step 5-Now the next step is to select an employer from whom you want the PDF file which you download and about to send to be attested. Either you can choose your current employer or past employer. Along with that you also need to enter UAN number to generate OTP and also the transfer request PDF file.
Step 6-Then the next and final step is to enter the OTP you received and click on the tab “Submit”. You are required to submit the signed copy of the transfer claim PDF to the selected employer within a period of 10 days.
Once you send the online request and also submitted the PDF file to your employer, then the next process is purely left to your employer and the EPFO.
Hope this information will be a big relief to all those who are trying to transfer their earlier EPF accounts under the current UAN number.
Hi,
I wanted to withdraw money from my PF account and facing this issue.
Just for reference, I have 2 employers and as of now I am not working. I got a mail from the first employer to transfer the PF amount. When I tried to attempt, facing the below issue.
I am getting an error message stating “Invalid present pf a/c number. In case if PF A/C in trust differs from member’s PF A/C number, then maximum allowed length is 20. Please enter valid data”.
Can you please help with this?
Dear Arjuman,
I am also unclear about the issue. Better either raise an issue with EPFO or visit the concerned EPFO office.
Dear Sir,
I have raised a PF Transfer claim from un-exempted organisation to exempted organisation and I have PF continuity more than 15 years.
My PF transfer claim is rejected due to the below reason
” HIGHER WAGES IN PREVIOUS ESTT AND 15000/- WAGES IN PRESENT ESTT PL CLARIFY ”
BP is above 15000 in current and previous company and EPS contribution is also there. Can you please let me know what to clarify to them or do I need to do any corrective action with previous company?
Thanks ,
Viswanath
Dear Viswanath,
Better to raise this issue with EPFO Grievance cell. Because it is unclear of what actually they are talking about.
In PF Transfer Form step-4 on epfo portal there are two fields- P.F Account No:- (which is coming autopopulated with some alpha-numeric value) and other field is PF Account No(Trust) which is blank text field. Please help me what should I fill here in this field.
Isn’t both fields are same?.
Thanks,
Shubham
Dear Shubham,
Both should be same.
Thank you sir for your reply. Could you please advise on whether EPS transfer status from A to B will have any impact on further transfers? It was transferred offline between 2 uan and after raising multiple grievance status of thr claim was shown as settled, however old uan is still active and no information from that company is updated on second uan
Dear Prashant,
I think it is an issue of passbook update. Better to wait.
Hi,
Please suggest on below case:
EPF transferred from Company A(trust) to B(trust) with different UAN. EPS claim shows as settled in portal but old UAN is still active. Request was raised Offline. So EPS status is not clear.
Now I need to transfer PF and EPS from company B(trust) and C(rpfc) to current company D(trust).
Please suggest if I need to raise request in any sequential order or both request can be raised simultaneously.
Also if EPS status of first transfer From A to B can have any effect on new transfer from B and C to D.
Dear Prashant,
You can raise a request simeltaneously.
Hi,
I have applied for transfer PF amount. Amount is reflecting in the current PF account but also it is showing the msg. that “amt transferred but credit subject to verification”. This status is since last 2 months. Please guide is there something I need to do to get this cleared faster, because due to this I am not able to claim the amount.
Dear SK,
Hard to predict the reason. Better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell.
You need to enter your PF account number and not employers PF number
My PF transfer claim got rejected from previous employer stating “EPS DETAILS NOT RECEIVED HENCE REJECT & RETURN”
What I need to do? Please hep with the next steps.

And now i have filled joint declaration submitted it in regional office for the same(20 days ago), now i want to know that how do we know that our declaration has accepted & when i have claim again for settlement.
Thanks
Dear Pavan,
Approach the regional EPFO.
Hi Sir,
I have my KYC complied, DOE and DOJ updated in service history and matched my Mobile number with bank and UAN passbook.
After entering the previous member id in one member screen, if i click on get details i am seeing an one line empty table with only heading of previous employment details.
Also the “get otp” button is disabled.
could you please help on this
thanks in advance
Dear Prasanth,
It is a technical issue with the website. Either change the browser or try after some time.
My transfer status shows “pending at previous employer”
The transfer is from trust to non exempt firm.
The trust has already provided Annexure K, with UTR No. And complete details of pf acccount to which amount is to be transferred. But when I approached Kandivali epfo, they are insisting on not having received the amount yet and which is why they have not credited it to my pf account.
Its been 3 years that I have been running pillar to post.
Trust says amount has been transferred.
Dear Satyabrata,
Why not you get the letter from Trust that money is transferred?
Hi Sir,
I tried to transfer PF account, when I clicked ‘Get details’, a message is appearing saying that ‘Failed to verify UAN!!! Please try again later!!!!’. Do you why this message is coming up?
Kind Regards
Sreehari
Dear Sreehari,
I am not sure about this issue. Better you raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell.
How did you fix this issue ? Thanks
Dear Sir,
I applied PF transfer from previous company to current company on 21-4-2020 but still it is showing Accepted by employer pending at field office.still amount is not credited to my current member ID.how many days it will take to credit?
Dear Vijaykumar,
Wait for the field officer to process.
Hi Basu,
Thanks for the detailed procedure. I have followed your procedure and applied for the online transfer in Dec 2019. My previous employer is a non exempt category and my present employer is an exempt category with its own trust. The online status changed to Accepted by field office, in Jan 2020. The passbook for my previous employer shows the amount transferred in Jan 2020 along with interest till Dec 2019. But when I check my present employer trust statement, my account doesn’t show the transferred amount even at the end of Feb 2020. I have checked with our finance person, who says I need to submit Annexure K But when I try to download annexure K from PF site, it says no exempted to unexempted provident fund transfer associated with the UAN.
Appreciate if your help to clarify what could be the issue and what should I do to resolve this issue. Also, can you clarify who will be paying the interest amount for the months of Jan to March.
Thank you,
Srinivas
Dear Srinivas,

Dear Hari,
Hard to say as it is related to technical issue.
I am trying to transfer PF money from Non Trust company to a Trust Company. I have a confusion in Step 4 where it is mentioned PF Account No.(Trust), Do i need to fill in my PF account number with the current employer or the current employer PF account number?
Please Help
Dear Mayank,
Take the pain to read the document properly.
Hi,
I too have same doubt.
the document says nothing about this.
Hai. When you move to a new company you need to wait for nearly 6 months to 9 months to make the present employer radio button active. Even after which if the present employer radio button is not active. (ie., if you are not able to click to the present employer radio button) please file a complaint in the grievance cell and share your experience here. Thanks!!!!!
EPFO website is more compatible with Internet Explorer. Try to check it there.
Hello,
My previous organization was Govt. sector”Nigam”
I want to transfer my pf account to present organization but it is giving an error that “trust details are not available against this id”
Please help.
Dear Mohit,
Either approach the employer or EPFO through Grievance Cell.
My previous employer is PF trust. I have applied for PF transfer online and submitted signed form 13 to previous employer. Claim status shows “Accepted by field office”. But current passbook does not reflect the transfer amount yet. How much time it takes? And what will be the status when transfer is completed?
Thanks,
Gholam
Dear Gholam,
Better to wait.
Transfer Claim in Initiated, when previous employer UAN is submitted in the present employer UAN, the details are not available. Empty boxes with delete button shown and that also not allowed to click.
Only if the previous employer details available i can choose and proceed to OTP process for Transfer Claim.

Hi,
I currently have 2 active Member accounts. One is under a trust and another one is under EPFO. Both are under the same UAN. I worked for 4.9 years in the fist company and 2 years in the second company. If I withdraw these amounts separately, will there be a tax cut?

Dear Babu,
There may be certain issues. Try after some time.
“Amt. Received, Credit IS Subject TO verification” in Passbook transfer entry how long does it takes to disappear. Because of this i guess the transfer is not complete and my experience is showing less than 5 years while withdrawing. If the transfer is complete then i guess the experience should be above 5 years, since this entry alone has the 3 years of my experience, altogether it will go above 5 years of service.
Both the PF accounts are Government PF account not the trust.
Below is the logs of passbook. Kindly help me in resolving the issue.
TRANSFER IN – SAME OFFICE(OLD Member Id-
:PYBOM00602830000000048 )-Amt. Received,

PAN is unverified state, hope that does not matter for withdrawal since the total years of service in Service History showing more than 5 years.
Dear Babu,
I hope so.
Hi Babu.. Have you applied for withdrawal?

Dear Sikender,
Let your employer show the acknowledgment.
In “Details of present account into which transfer will be affected” section which PF details needs to be given on “PF Account No.(Trust) :” tab ?
Dear Dinesh,
It is better to be in touch with EPFO as it is a procedural matter.
You will have PF A/C Number and EPS A/C Number. Just feed teh PF A/C Number. Check with your HR for account details.
Hi,
When trying to raise a PF Transfer request online from the UAN portal, my previous account details are not visible (PF account which needs to be transferred to my current account).
Just a delete button is visible under the section “Select details of previous accounts (which are to be transferred)”. Both my previous and current PF accounts have the same UAN.
The Grievance Cell has also not been helpful. Can you kindly suggest a solution?
Dear Deevyaa,
Hard to say what went wrong. It is better to approach the regional EPFO.
Hi Deevyaa,

I have got the UAN and PF no.of second employer and activated the UAN online.Now I can access the member passbook and service history of second employer and is fine. But when trying to link the first employer PF no.with this UAN using One employee- One EPF acc option, its giving error as “Online claim req can’t be processed as Present employer has not made payment in your PF acc”.

Thanks & regards,

Hello sir,
The current EPF UAN site has an option for ONE PF one account.I have used the same and transferred my earlier accounts to current company.
I used the option “attested through current employer”…They have done the same.What are the next steps and how much time it takes to effect the transfer.
Earlier during OTCP transfer, we could see the entire trail and process, is there a similar way where we can track the transfer.

Dear Kulajit,
Whether your employer did not share that with you or not helping you?
Dear Basavaraj,
I worked for two employers and both had paid pf’s and i could see both companies member id’s in UAN portal. i have done AAdhar and KYC authentication as well.
I left my first job on 2nd novembr 2015.
I left my second job on 31st april 2016.
I havent done any merging of accounts in UAN portal.
Also, I havent been employed after my two jobs.
Now, i am trying to withdraw my PF balance online and i am only able to withdraw from my second employer PF. also, if try to merge both member ID’s i am getting an error message saying transfer claim cannot be processed as present employer is not making any payments to EPF.
Please help me to find a way to withdraw my PF amount from previous employer as well.
Dear Rajendra,

Dear Basavaraj,
I have single UAN account.I was changed the two companies and now i want to transfer the all the PF account amount into present employer account.
But while transferring the old account its giving the error ” Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim request cannot be processed.”
Can you please suggest me to what i need to do ?
Dear Sri,
Please check whether there are any mismatch in KYC details. If there are mismatches, then first you have to correct and then request for transfer.
all KYC details match. Name, Bank, Pan all..but same error shown. what is reason?
Dear Rahul,
It is hard for me to predict and guide you.
Dear Basavaraj,
Can I get the form attested though my present employer even if I selected previous employer for “Attestation through:”
Can I resubmit / edit the transfer request.
Dear Nikhil,
Yes, you can do so.
Dear Sir, Could you please advise the proceedure as how we can resubmit / edit / cancel the transfer request done to the previouse employer. Since my previous organisation is shut down they are no more attesting the form and hence i need to resubmit it to my present employer. Also advise how long it will take to get confirmation that the request has been cancelled sucessfully.
Dear Pabo,
I am not sure. Hence, better to approach the regional EPFO.
Dear Basavaraj,
I have all the details updated in my UAN however, I do not get the previous employers details after I enter Member ID / UAN. Is there something that I am missing for online transfer?

Dear Kulwinde,
It is hard for me to guide BLINDLY. Hence, better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hello Basavaraj,
My work experience is as follows,
Organization A – Jan 2011 to March 2013
Organization B – April 2013 to June 2014
Organization C – July 2014 to June 2015
Freelancing – July 2015 to Jan 2016
Organization D – Feb 2016 till Date (No EPF as this is startup)
All my EPF is dormant since I left Organization C, which means that the last EPF contribution was done in June 2015. For that reason, I want to withdraw everything. The simplest way to do that was online if all A, B and C are attached to my UAN.
Now, in my UAN account, B and C are reflected but A is not reflected since at that time UAN was not applicable. I am not able to add A to my UAN online as it gives me following error,
“Online claim request cannot be processed as :-
Present employer has not made payment in your PF account.”
Please suggest a way out of this situation. I would be really grateful.
Dear DG,
Request for offline EPF transfer.
Hi Basavaraj,
This query is regarding ONLINE CLAIM (FORM 31,19 & 10C)
Its giving msg Note:- Please verify your Bank Account Number by entering last 4 digit other than already shown. If displayed bank account doesn’t belongs to you or is closed , please update bank details(KYC) with latest Bank Account Number through Unified Portal / Your Employer before proceeding with Online claim.
My Aadhar name (Vaibhav Shetter) is verfied KYC done in UAN card also(Vaibhav Shetter).
My bank account name is different its (Vaibhav S) will i get any issue to online claim what?
Dear Vaibhav,
If your bank account details are already verified and approved, then go ahead for the process. The message warning you that whether there is any change in bank details or not.
Hello Basavaraj,
As you know from my previous queries, I got my EPF ( 2 account linked and then EPF withdrawn)
Got the amount credited… but not the entire amount.
1) My Passbook showed the withdrawn amount leave a difference amount balance ( though very less 1K change). The difference shows as the Balance in the passbook. Why have they left this balance and not transferred the entire amount ( Minus the TDS, which I can see they have deducted)
2) Is there any king of acknowledgement for the TDS, I did not see any entry or note.
3) Trying to withdraw the EPS now… since I couldnt withdraw both.
I read that we could withdraw if the total service is below 5 years (which applies for me). Here I see the service dates of just my previous employer and not the one before that ( where the amount is higher). I tried applying but was seeing a timeout, will try again. If I withdraw, will it automatically draw both the amounts or is there any other way to check/ensure that.
Thanks!
Raj
Dear Raj,
1) Raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
2) You will find the same in Form 26AS of your’s.
3) You can withdraw EPS if your service is less than 10 years.
Thanks again!

Hello again Basavaraj,
A different question now.
While withdrawing we get the Employee and Employer share of the amount ( Please correct if I am wrong)
What happens to the Pension Contribution addition (which I guess is from the Govt.) Is that lost? or accumulated and given after a certain time like retirement age?
Just curious.
Dear Raj,
While withdrawing we get the Employee and Employer share of the amount ( Please correct if I am wrong)-YES.

You have to correct DOB using unfiied portal of EPF members. If that not works out, then visit the concerned EPFO and apply for correction. Bank details are mandatory. Hence, you have to submit the details with your employer. However, if you still have questions, then raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.

Hello Basavaraj,
Firstly thanks for being so responsive here and posting this blog. Very helpful. I clarified few doubts by just reading here. I have couple of
I have PF from my last 2 employers. Its been just 3 months since I stopped working. I applied for online transfer, from my previous co. to the current one ( where I worked till Feb’18). I have Form13 downloaded and will sign and hand it to my last employer (within 10 days).
1) What’s next, what will my recent employer have to do. Do they have to submit this form 13 to PF office after attestation? Can they still be able help, in-spite of me not working there?
2) Once done, if I apply for a claim, can we claim the entire amount reflected in the pasbooks. How long does that take?
Thank you for your help!
Dear Raj,
1)This you have to ask to your employer.
2) YES. It usually takes around 10-15 days.
Hello again,
Just wanted to update here, that post applying for the transfer online. I intimated my current Employer, and they have accepted the transfer ( Digitally signed ) and sent me an Acknowledgement. I guess I just have to wait and check if the passbooks are clubbed into a single account that I requested for.
Dear Raj,
YES.
Hello,
Just sharing an update that the Transfer has been successfully carried out.
1 Jun – Submitted the request online
4 Jun – the application was accepted by employer
12 Jun – the request was accepted by Field officer
18Jun – The transfer was done.
I could stills see both passbooks. The older one had the total amount withdrawn ( for transfer) and another line item for some interest added after that.
In the second ( latest) passbook the total amount was added in. But has a note
TRANSFER IN – SAME OFFICE(OLD Member Id-
:xxxxxxx )-Amt. Received,
Credit IS Subject TO verification
(Not sure if I have to wait till this is cleared or I can go ahead and withdraw the total amount)
Dear Raj,
You can go ahead and apply for withdrawal.
Dear Basavaraj ,
To give you a brief idea about my situation, I had got 2 PF accounts under same UAN, one from the second-last employer and another from the last employer and I am not working any more. After I left me last employer I submitted PF withdrawal for both the PF accounts separately, since I didn’t know that I need to transfer the amount from older PF account to newer one. The claim for my older PF account got rejected and the claim for newer one got accepted and that amount has been credited to my bank. Then, I initiated PF transfer request from older PF account to newer one but the claim status is been “Accepted by field office” from last 10-12 days but the newer PF account’s passbook is not yet updated. Do you think I shall raise grievance request for that ? Also, if it gets updated soon, do you think I shall submit another withdrawal claim online on the newer PF account for the transferred amount or shall I submit the claim offline ?

Hi,
I left one company in 2014 and at that time no UAN concept, Then i joined another company in 2015 and got UAN number i left this company also and currently am running my own company.
I would like to with draw my PF so i approached both the companies they suggested to do it online as i already have UAN. I was trying to first get transfer of my 2014 company amount to the UAN account so that i can withdraw both the comapny amount. I follwed the steps was able to see personal information, Details of present account in which transfer will be effected, But am not able to see option of Details of previous accounts (which are to be transfred).
So am not able to move forward. And both the company are claiming that if we UAN account we have to withdraw PF online only. Kindly suggest.
Dear Sreekanth,
In my view, better to withdraw separately rather than transferring and then apply for withdrawal.
Online claim request cannot be processed as :-
Present employer has not made payment in your PF account.
what should i have do plz help me
Dear Sadik,

Hello Sir,
I have applied for transfer of my PF from 1st establishment to 2nd. The PF transfer has the status of Accepted by field office, but the amount is yet to be credited in my PF passbook. I have recently joined 3rd company. I have raised a grievance 4 days ago and still awaiting for reply. May i know, if i need to do something for Passbook updation ? How much time does it take generally for passbook to reflect once status changed to Accepted by field office ?
Dear Abhipsa,
You no need to do anything. Just wait for their updates.
Hi Sir
I have two pf accounts from different employers but UAN is activated . I am not working with any of those employer any more but i want to withdraw my pf . Do i need to consolidate my accounts or separately i can withdraw from both of them.
Dear Kush,
Separately you can withdraw.
Sir
I can withdraw separately as you said , can it be done online because my accounts have different regional offices .
Dear Kush,
Yes, if your UANs are KYC complied.
Sir
One last thing does withdrawal from one account affects any chance of withdrawal from the other account .
Dear Kush,
It will not affect.
i have 2 pf accounts, both from former employers, I followed all the steps. clicked on previous employer and entered my UAN number. However the OTP link does not click. I dont know where im going wrong. Can you explain why i am facing this issue?
Dear Liza,
Hard to say or guide anything on such technical issues. Better to contact EPFO.
It may be because of detailed to be filled by employer are not completed e.g. Date of Joining, Date of Exit etc.
Hi I raised a request for transfer from one account to another for same UAN. However before it got settled I raised the claim request from the latest of account. Due to this I didnt get the pf amount from the old company and i got it from the new company only. I raised another request for pf settlement but it got rejected. Kindly help me for the same
Dear Tanmay,
Whether you want withdrawal or transfer?
I want withdrawal. The thing is that i raised a transfer request from one account to another. Before it was completed I raised a claim request due to which I couldnt get the complete pf amount. Please tell me what to do now
Dear Tanmay,
You have to wait for the earlier request be completed.
The request is completed both transfer and claim and I could not get the complete amount. I got the amount from the latest company only but couldn’t get from the old company. Please help me with this
Dear Tanmay,
Hard to say what went wrong. Hence, better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online or be in touch with regional EPFO.

Thanks,
Sivaram

Hi sivaram, could you please tell me how many days it took for website to give that status. Thank you so much.
hi,
I have raised PF transfer request in 2016, then it was someother portal(not unified portal). The amount was transferred and i was able to see service period also added in the old portal. Now after EPFO migrated to new portal, am unable to see previous service history.
Then I observed that my previous UAN is still active and has different name on it. I got my previous UAN details updated and now want to link both the UAN’s so that my service history is in tact.
How do i link my UANs now? As amount is already transferred.
Please advice.
Regards,
Swetha
Swetha-You have to request EPFO through current employer for the merger of both UAN.
Dear Basavaraj,
How long will it take for PF transfer, through previous establishment ? (online method)
I have initiated transfer request through online portal and submitted the ONLINE TRANSFER CLAIM FORM [FORM 13 (REVISED) ] to my previous establishment.

Akil.
Akil-If everything OK, then it hardly takes around 10-15 days of time.
Dear basavaraj, I have almost done 2 months back , still now status is submitted only. What could be reason, why this much late. If I ask HR he said, there was some closed down in PF office, now they have many tickets, so it will take may or still far. Is it true. Thank you so much

Hi
On the Unified Portal, I am looking for Claim form 19 & 10C. But my DOE is showing as “Not Available” because of which only form 31 (advance from PF) is showing in the drop-down. I resigned on Dec 29 2016, how can I update this information in the unified Portal along with other details regarding resignation?
Please advise.
Thank you in advance

I have two UAN Numbers and I am trying to Transfer PF From Old UAN and it is showing error “Details of previous account are different than present account, hence transfer request can not be processed.”. Kindly help me for the same.
Tanmay-Check whether there are any differences.
Dear Basavaraj ,
I have two pf accounts for under one UAN, I have all the field like DOE, DOJ updated for my previous account.
I have also linked my aadhar to UAN.
When I try to transfer online, and if I enter my UAN details with present/previous employer, my old account details are displayed, but if I select the account and click “delete” nothing happens.
I am stuck with this step.
I could not be able to proceed to OTP step. Please help!
Akil-Raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
I raised a grievance , but I haven’t got the registration number. Will I receive it by mail ?
I tried to register a Genevieve again, but the site is not allowing ..
Akil-They will send to email.
Hi all,
I found a solution for this.
After selecting you old pf account/accounts, don’t click the delete button.
Proceed to the generate OTP option.
“Delete” button is useless and misleading for us. I don’t know what is the purpose they have given that.
And in case if you don’t get the table for old account details used Google Chrome. IE has some issues.
Dear Akil, Thanks for your sharing.
Hi, I submitted an online request to transfer to my new PF account(UAN is same as old job) and submitted a hard copy to my current employer around 3-4 months back, but the online status for the claim is still shown as ‘Submitted’. can you please help me on this?

HI Basvaraj,
Am having one query in following situation. Please suggest what should be the soution.
one of my friend left xyz organization on Jan,1,2018 & joined ABC organization on the same date Jan 1,2018.
So EXIT Date & Joining dates are same, is it possible to transfer?
So how can we transfer old pf account to new pf account, while trying to transfer through portal under online service tab, it was showing as ” Present employer has not made payment in your PF account”.
When we approached current employer they said PFamount has been credited into PF account..
Please suggest
Karthik-Usually exist date is prior to joining date. I am not sure how both dates be same. Regarding the error message, raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hi, I can 2 passbooks under my UAN. How can I merge these 2 passbooks ? I tried via online portal, but it says “No previous employment details found against this UAN.” But how can see the passbook of previous employer then ? Am I missing something ?
sreevishnu-I think you are holding two EPF accounts under one UAN. If that is the case, then try to transfer old EPF to current one.
Thanks for the reply Basavaraj.
If I can see two different member ids under two passbooks, it meants I have two epf accounts under same UAN. Is that correct ? I am not sure about these things thats why.
If so, how can I transfer old pf to new epf ? I tried it online again via “Online Services” => “One member One EPF account”. Filled my UAN with checking Present Employer checkbox and clicked Get Details. It again showing the above error. Please help me.
Sreevishnu-I feel so that you have two EPF accounts. But better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell for the better understanding of the problem.
Ok. I’ll try that. Thank you Basavaraj.. 🙂
Hi, I am working in XYZ organization which is an exempted establishment and I transferred my EPF and EPS from my last organization ABC into XYZ. Now I am able to see EPF transfer in PF-Statement of XYZ but EPS-service-details are reflecting partially on Unified-Portal under Service-History tab. Actually DOE-EPF & DOE-EPS for ABC are missing on Unified-Portal and so I raised a Grievance with EPFO but they provided a Annexure-K to me stating that EPS details is updated properly from their end and same reflecting in Annexure-K. So I wanted to know that does it mean that EPS-service-details are properly updated at EPFO end whereas missing-detail on Unified-portal is just a portal issue. please check and suggest.
Nitesh-EPS details are proper and it may be delayed update of Unified portal. You no need to worry.
Hi,
Thank you for the info. I somehow ended up doing all the above procedures just by following the unified portal. Now i have the portal showing that the claim is accepted by the employer.
As i didn’t read through anything before submitting the online claim, I did not submit the downloaded pdf hard copy signed by me to the current employer. In the otcp website, the status says it is under process. I have not been working for 3 months plus. So i am waiting for the accounts to be merged and then apply for a withdrawal.
Will this affect the merging of my two UAN numbers? especially as i have not submitted a hard copy?
Thanks
Best Regards,
Raees-Let us wait.
Thank you for the swift reply.
According to otcp 6th March 2018 is when it became “under process”. So will sending a hard copy now work. How long can this take?
Thanks again
Raees-If your employer co-operative, then try to send hardcopies now also.
Hi, I submitted the online request at last. 🙂
Now what should I do ?
I thought this is pure online.
But we should take the printout of Form-13 and then submit it to our employer ?
Do we need to send a copy to PF office separately ?
Sreekanth-You have to submit the form to employer.
Dear Basavaraj
I need your help in making me understand the procedure of transfer of my PF amount from private company trust to EPF account.
Secondly if private company trust doesn’t transfer to my UAN linked member passbook then where should I report. Is there any grevience cell where I can address the issue. it’s already one year over.
Sri-The procedure is same. If transfer not happens, then raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hi,
I changed my organisation and provided my UAN to new organisation. However, now organistaion created new UAN for me. Now I have 2 active UAN. I want to tranfer my PF from old to new but getting error message “Present employer has not made payment in your PF account.”
Also, Date of Exit is not updated in my old UAN.
Please suggest how I can have all the PF in my latest UAN instead of carrying 2 UANs.

Anjana-First request EPFO through your current employer for the merger of both UAN. Once both are merged, then you can opt for transfer of EPF accounts.

1) I would like to withdraw my old PF account money – Is that possible ? If yes, Can you help me with the procedure ?
2) When I try to open a withdrawal request on the portal, it takes my current PF account/employer details and most of the options in the “withdrawal reason” dropdown are greyed out as I’ve not completed 5 Yrs of employment in the current org. There is no option to select my previous/old PF accounts.
Waheed-Exit dates mandatory.
Dear Basavaraj,

when i am trying to submit the request it says FORM PARAMETERS TAMPERED. please help
Anju-Sorry it is portal issue.
Means what should i do now?
Anju-Try after some time or knock EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
I was facing the same issue for almost 2 weeks. I sent couples of emails to [email protected] and tried calling 1800 11 8005 but no response. On one of the site I read that clear all cache, cookies and select “Present -Attestation through”, add UAN and select previous employer account details to transfer. Opt OTP and try again. It didn’t happen couples of times, but in one “golden” try it was through :). I received an message on screen in green color text, that your Transfer request submitted. To have assurance, I followed Track Claim Status from On Line Services Tab, and I saw the transfer request entry.
Hope this helps..
Swapnil-Better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Thanks.. why do you suggest to raise a grievance now, if I could able to track claim status online now? Do EPFO has any online portal to raise grievance? please share. In case if the transfer doesn’t happened even after 60 days will raise grievance. Any suggestion are welcome..
Swapnil-Yes, that is what I am saying that it is online portal where you can raise an issue.
same here, did you resove the issue, if yes please let me know how.
Even I was getting same error ‘FORM PARAMETERS TAMPERED” with option “Attestation through present employer”. However it got resolved after selecting “Attestation through Previous employer”
Hope this helps – It makes sense as well. Transfer need to be validated by previous employer.
Dear Sanjiv,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
This works for me as well. Thank you.
I am trying to withdraw partial PF form my current employer but unable to withdraw it because when I see my service history it shows my current employer name but the DOJ and DOE is from previous employer because of that I can only see form 19 and 10C. I tried to reach out PFhelpdesk form my employer and they suggested me to submit hard copy which is temporary solution. Is there any way to solve this issue ?
Gopal-It may be due to some technical glitch in portal. I suggest you to follow offline method as suggested by them.
I tried to transfer my PF money from my Old UAN to new one. I followed all steps as is and it went good until the 5th step. When I entered the UAN and hit Get Details I see a small table coming up below but with no PF Ac details. I tried with ‘Get MID’ option also, no Ac details is populated and no error msg is seen. Hence, I don’t get OTP too.
Subramanian-It may be some technical glitch in portal. Try after some time.
Thanks for the information. I have followed the steps of online PF transfer. And entered my current employer with the current UAN number. But when I reached the OTP part. Generate OTP is freezed. Any specific reason for that?? Please help.
Nitasha-It may be some technical glitch. Better to try after some time.
Is your organization is an extempted organization. Then try to submit by OLD organization and you will get it settled. I was facing same issue for 6 months. For more details you can contact +91-9901449944 and [email protected]
Hi Robin,
I am trying to transfer my PF online. My organization (previous) does not have their own trust. But when I am trying to transfer online it shows me an error (establishment code is 5105A) and the system does not allow to enter A(or any other alphabet. Do you know how can i possible resolve this
Amarpreet-It may be due to some technical glitch. Try after some time.
Basavaraj- I took my case to the grievance cell and they have suggested to submit the Form 13 to the PF office. What I know is that offline we could submit the Form 13 to my current or previous employer to process the PF transfer. But my current employer says that from last 2-3 months they are not taking it offline. Is it true? If it is. Then can I submit the Form 13 directly at the PF office. Please suggest.
Nitasha
Nitasha-I can’t believe your employer. If they are not supportive, then better to submit it at EPFO.
My EPF passbook shows employer has credited all amounts to my pf account.
Also, i am getting interest.
My passbook shows all details correctly.
But, when trying to claim, why it is showing error “Present employer has not made payment in your PF account.”
Pl.. reply. Thanks,…

Ram-First request EPFO through your employer for the merger of both UAN. Then raise the request for transfer of EPF.
Hi Thanks,
Is it mandatory to merge UAN? If it’s mandatory we need to request current employer or Previous employer.
I saw your previous posts that once transferred,EPFO will close old UAN
Ram-You have to request to EPFO through your current employer for the merger.
Hi,
I am facing an issue while requesting for PF transfer.
After selecting Attestation Through as Previous Employer I have provided the Member ID in the right format. While I’m clicking on “Get Details” button, I am see a blank table with just the headers.
What could be the issue?
Subramanian-I think it is some technical glitch.
Hi Basavaraj,
I’m facing the same issue from the time I reported it. I would have tried more than 10 times in these 3-4 weeks. I have Basic Member details, KYC updated in both UAN, The service details is also updated and everything is approved by my employers and field office. Still the same issue persists. Not sure why it is not pulling the details. My current PF is with Chennai and the old one is that on Delhi South.
Subramanian-No option but to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell.
Please try in chrome or Mozilla browser
Let me do this before I reach the grievance cell. Thank you Debendra
Hi,
I worked for my previous employer for 4 months and then joined another organization and provided my UAN number to them at the time of joining. I activated my UAN but did not check it again for few days. I left the second employer after few months and submitted them form for EPF claim. Since the claim was not processed for another 6 months I enquired about it and they asked me to do it online. Now, the portal which only shows my first employer says Present employer has not made payment in your PF account and KYC details are not updated and in my member passbook only previous employer transfers are seen. Is there any way to process the claim now. I am not working now.
Mahima-I think your employer not deposited the money in EPF. Raise an issue with EPFO using EPFO Grievance Cell Online.

Is there anyway I can link that old member id to my UAN in the EPFO portal, so that my service history
is compete and I have a full track of all my PF amounts.
My subsequent two employments are visible and track-able in the EPFO web-site.
Many thanks.
Jay-When you already withdrew all amount, then why you want to track past EPF?
Hello

After selecting Attestation Through as Present Employer, providing the member id and clicking on Get Details button, I am getting below error message:
“Present & Previous member ID’s must be different.”
I am unable to understand this message and hence not able to proceed. Can someone helpe me know what is missing?

Bindu-It is some technical issue. Try to resolve it through EPFO only.
Hi Basu,
I have recently corrected my details in UAN and the details same as other UAN Number , but i am trying transfer PF Still getting error ‘Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim request cannot be processed.’
I could see only difference in CAP Letters and Small letters. one more wrong name still showing Member Passbook but it was corrected in UAN
Can you please let us know because of any of the above reason getting reason
Ram-It is due to some technical error. Better to be in touch with EPFO.
how much it will take for amount to be deposited in bank once your claim pf for partial withdrawal.thanks
Dasarath-Less than 15 days.
In the very last step, after receiving the OTP when I put that and click submit I am getting error message saying “something went wrong, please try again later”. The otp I received is 4 digits long and I am keying in exact number.
Any clue?
NOTE: One thing I noticed that the application is not fetching previous employer details using UAN or Member ID if you are using Internet Explorer as your browser.
It is working for google crome and mozila firefox.
Joydeep-I think it is a technical glitch. Hence, better you be in touch with EPFO.
I am getting the error form parameters tampered after sumitting OTP
Bittu-Better to try after some time.
SAME ISSUE I AM FACING
You can resolve this Issue by selecting “Present Employer” in “Attestation through” field.

Sampath-Raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
i am also facing the same issue since months. i tried to reach Grievance cell as well, but they simply replied that is a technical issue and they can not do anything about it.
any suggestiom?
Aavriti-You have to wait until they resolve the issue.
i have already been waiting since 5 months 🙁
Dear Aavriti,
In that case, you can raise a complaint in EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hi,
I have left my previous company and currently not working (on a career break). When I tried to withdraw the money to my bank account I am getting the message “Present employer has not made payment in your PF account”. However, I do not have a present employer and my previous employer has already mentioned in the “service details” section the exact and correct date of when I left the organization (in 2016). Still, that organization is still listed as “present employer” in the transfer page.
What is wrong here? Please help.
Ritam-I think they have not deposited the money with EPFO. Raise the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Thanks Basavaraj. I checked with my last company and with EPF passbook and it seems my previous company did deposit all the money. It was some error with the EPF website I guess. The email address they have (customer care) is of no help. Should I lodge a grievance?
Thanks,
Ritam
Ritam-Better to lodge a complaint.
In my case the employer had incorrect DOE (Date of Exit), therefore it is showing this error for me (Online claim request cannot be processed as :-
Present employer has not made payment in your PF account.)
Nikhil-You have to correct that from past employer.
Hi,
Now it says, Details of previous account are different than present account, hence transfer request can not be processed.
Thanks.
Manoj-Knock EPFO through Grievance Cell Online.
I received same error message and then next day it was gone. For me last working day was not updated by the previous employer and that was probably creating that problem.
But now for me the problem is happening at the very last step. The OTP I am receiving is not getting validated and saying “something went wrong and please try again later”
Hi,
I keep getting this message ‘No data found against this member id: xxxxx when checking previous employment details’.
My previous account is more than 3 years old.
Thanks.
Hi,Same issue with me.
Sir , I want to transfer my PF to new employer. However the site says “Online claim request cannot be processed as :-
Trust details of your establishment are missing.” How do i get those details available on portal?
Thank you in advance!!
Mayur
Mayur-Check your past employer.
Hi,
I am getting the same error. I work for Capgemini. I don’t think this has to do with past employer. My current PF account is with Trust. Past account was with EPFO. Now my employer doesn’t know to how to get this updated (which is pathetic). I am planning to visit the PF office to ask them how the employer can get this updated.
Amit-I said the reason, but you can try your way also and let us know the reason.
Hi Amit,
Are you able to manage to get that information? If yes, please share with us.
Hello, did you find solution for this? I am getting same thing. There is no provision to update trust details of current employer on the site, nor I can create new transfer request. Please help.
Any updates how you resolved the same?
Hi Amit. Facing same issue in same company. Can you please help if you had resolved the issue.
Hi Amit, did your issue solved? If yes please let me know as I am also facing the same issue.
Hello Amit,
I am working for Capgemini and also getting same error on portal.. Did you find any solution?

Bhushan-Knock EPFO.

Viru-It is technical errors. Better you approach EPFO.
I had left a company and my company had sent a EPF cheque from their PF trust to my new company. My new company deposited this cheque to Wazirpur EPFO around 25 days back but still there is no entry in my passbook.
How much time does it takes for EPFO to deposit a cheque received from a PF trust ?
When can i see this amount in my passbook.
Rajat-Cheque might be deposited but updating in passbook may be delayed.
Hi Rajat,
I am trying to transfer my pf account however while doing so I am getting an error as it does not fetch any details with the UAN.
please suggest.
Regards,
Azad
Azad-It is technical error. So how can I help you?
For me , it took 2 months!!!!!
I am trying to raise transfer request online in the unified portal. But after submission it says “SOMETHING WENT WRONG!!PLEASE TRY AFTER SOMETIME!!!”… I am getting this message since many days.
Is this portal issue or any other issue??…
Please suggest
Pras-May be a portal issue.
Dear Basavaraj ,
I have two PF accounts showing in the unified portal and linked to the same UAN.
When I am trying for online transfer request by giving the UAN details in the Member ID / UAN field it is not fetching any details, could you please tell how I can proceed on this.
Should I contact previous employer or present employer?
Note: Both PF accounts are in different state(Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh)
Thanks&Regards
Debendra
Debendra-It is procedural error. Hence, better to contact EPFO.
Hi Sir,
please let me know how do i change my new bank details in EPF as I’m not using my old bank account which is already verified in EPF.
Sohail-You have to use profile update option and update (I think so). Otherwise, the best option is to provide bank details to employer.
I have to transfer my pf account from previous employer to current employer,But my details are missing:
Your bank account number is missing.
Bank account IFS code is missing.
How to update this??
Ruchi-I think your bank details are not submitted and verified by employer. Please submit the same and then apply for withdrawal.
Hi I am getting Error as below on Unified Portal-> Transfer Request Tab:-
Online claim request cannot be processed as :-
Present employer has not made payment in your PF account.
Can you please suggest.
Namita-Then be in touch with your employer for the same and once they pay it, then raise the request.
Getting form parameter tampered error.
Prateek-It is a technical error. Check with EPFO.
Okay Thank You, shall raise a grievance in this case?? As I never get a response on the EPF helpline number

Dear Sir,
I have print for online transfer claim form no. 13 (Revised) claim date 11/11/2017.
After submiton of form employer which process employer site
please reply sir
Narendra-I am not getting your question. Can you elaborate more?
I left a job and joined new company. My UAN show two members I’d. Can I withdraw my previous account. And I wish to transfer into new account it show ur current employer does not deposit any fund. How can I transfer my account. And now who will approve my KYC, previous or current employer
Amit-First request for merger of both UAN to EPFO through your current employer. Once it is done, then request for transfer.
I am trying PF transfer online but getting errors. I can see both of employers in Service Details. I am using Member Id from previous employer, but on get details I am getting error message as “Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim request cannot be processed”.
Option of selecting current employer is disabled. If try using UAN number error message says “No previous employer details found for the UAN”.
Tried sending email to EPFO but received no response. What else I can do to get myself out from this.
Milind-Please be in touch with EPFO for such technical glitches.
Milind, plese ensure your previous employer updated your date of exit on EPF.
I too faced the same problem, but after following up with them, they updated and I can see the same.
Do check once.
I think you need to get Date of Exit (DOE) updated by the previous employer. Send an email to your previous employer and ask them to update DOE. Once they update it, please submit the transfer request
Sir, i have made transfer claim request online from my previous employer to current employer.
On checking the status, its shows that “Something went wrong, Please try again later”.

After OTP and clicking on Submit button for online Transfer it is giving me an message saying that “Form Parameters Tampered” message and nothing happening after that. Any solution for this?
Hanumanth- No idea as it is a technical error.
I resolved this issue after selecting the proper present or previous employer details and finally made online transfer request. Now the big question is I’m not able to see any details of my transfer request in claim status section. Not sure to whom I should contact for the same.
Hanumanth-Wait for a day or two. If you still unable to view, then raise the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hi Hanumanth,
I am also getting the error “Form Parameters Tampered”. Can you please suggest how to resolved this issue.
Hi, I just changed the authentication details to previous company from present.
Thanks , That works. After that is there any need to send any physical form to previous or present employer.
I don’t remember of any file it generated for physical submission. I think as it is a online process, no need of physical submission of the details. I’m not very sure about it.
After one week of my online transfer claim submission, it generated an printable form of the transfer request under “transfer claim status” section. Hopefully I should take a print copy of the same, sign on it and must submit it to my previous employer.
Still it looks to me like an old fashioned manual process, where is the Advantage of automation?
Hanumanth-Slowly but surely in right direction. They never claimed 100% automation.
Even I also got the same problem of FORM PARAMETERS TAMPERED but by changing the “Attestation through” to present employer the problem was resolved. Lets see what will happen next.
Thanks for the conversation Hanumanth, Basavaraj & Prabhat
Hanumanth-Great to know this.
Hi Hanumanth, Can you elaborate where did you change the authentication details?
Hi
Could you resolve this error after entering OTP – form parameters tampered?
Tanya-It is a technical glitch. You better in touch with EPFO.
I am trying to transfer old Pune PF account to new Gurgaon PF account but when I am trying to provide OTP it is giving error OATP verification failed even I am providing correct OTP. Can you please help what can be the issue here. Is it providing some wrong information.

Hi,
In Detail of Present Account section there is one field “PF Account No.(Trust): “, here we need to enter current Employer’s Account number of our current PF Account number?
Also along with this our Pension will also get transferred or we need to follow any other procedure?
Please help!
Thanks in Advance…
Pankaj-Refer above post for procedure guidance. If you have still confusion contact the regional EPFO. Your EPS will never get transferred. EPFO just update service records in EPS account.
Thank you very much sir for your quick response.
I have reffered the above steps but i am confused about field “PF Account No.(Trust): Enter PF number in trust”. Here what I have to enter either my current Pf account number or my present Employer’s (trust) account number?

Have served two months(Feb n Mar) notice period in my last company and rest one month(April) they allowed me without salary. In between I joined the new company(in April 2nd) but when I got the relieving letter from my prev company they mentioned my last day 30 April. Now am not able to get my PF due to this. Please suggest how I can get my PF?
Shailendra-You have to discuss this with your employer.
I have changed 3 jobs in past 4 years. I got UAN in my current job and want to transfer previous 2 PF accounts. Please tell me which UAN or MID number to be entered in the field MID/Uan described above? And where to enter my previous PF account details.
A PDF is mentioned above for previous PF accounts. How to generate that PDF?

HI,
I HAD RAISED TRANSFER CLAIM IN SEPTEMBER 2015. AND GOR PARTIAL AMOUNT TRANSFERRED IN THE NEW PF ACCOUNT.
TILL SEPTEMBER 2016 I WAS ABLE TO DOWNLOAD PASSBOOK OF MY PREVIOUS ACCOUNT AND IT WAS SHOWING THAT OUT OF 38,797 EMPLOYEE SHARE ,11,876 WAS TRANSFERRED TO NEW ACCOUNT AND OUT OF 29,510 EMPLOYER’S SHARE , 9,037 WAS TRANSFERRED DURING OCTOBER 2015.
NOW WHEN I TRY TO DOWNLOAD THE OLD PF NUMBER PASSBOOK , IT SAYS “Contribution not received or status is as UCD Member or Already settled. Kindly contact to concern EPF office”.
WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET THE REMAINING AMOUNT IN MY CURRENT PF ACCOUNT?
Riddhi-You can apply now also. If you are working, then better to transfer that old EPF to new.
Hello Basu Sir,
Greeting !!! Have a couple of questions on PF Transfer.
1) I had moved my old PF account balance to new PF Account couple of years ago. What I noticed is Only the PF balance got transferred, but the accumulated Penstion Fund from my old PF accoutn is not carried to my new account.
a) Is this by mistake or is this how the transfer works?
b) If error what is the steps to get it transfered? If its the process then what happened to my existing Pension fund accumulated?
c) Do we have a separate portal to check our pension fund details like Pension number etc or is it directly linked with PF number?
d) Please throw some insights on this pension fund structure of ProvideFund.
2) When could I get back the Pension Fund? Will the maturity summed up with Interest? If interest not provided for Pension amount, then what is the benefit we will get out of it?
Thank you.
Balaji-1) Your EPS will never get transferred. EPFO just update the service details.
You can check the online portal for balance. what fund structure you want to know? You get back EPS either when you retire at 55 years or before that also (if service is less than 10 years then some % and if more than 10 years then fully).
Thank you Sir. Fund structure in the sense, what I meant was, Where and How can I check the Pension balance that was not transferred. Should I need to perform any actions for now or during withdraw – so that I do not miss the accumulated fund unclaimed.
Balaji-I already said, EPS will never get transferred. You can check the balance in your passbook or directly contact EPFO for the same.
Hi Basavaraj, 1) How long does it takes to Merge PF accounts? I have submitted merge request on 8-Sep-17 but it is still showing “no action taken..”
2) My previous company they did not update my DOE due to some technical errors, but yesterday they reprocessed and said your DOE has been updated, but my previous PF member id still “date of exit” not reflecting ! will this process also takes time?
Please advice
Chandru-1) No idea as there is no such time limit set.
2) It may take time to update from EPFO end.
Thank you Basava Raj.. valuable information..
Is the 1.5 lac investment limit is a combined limit for EPF plus PPF .
For example …
In case i am salaried having an EPF deduction of 1.5 lacs already and open an PPF account in a Bank too . Will i earn applicable PPF interest rates , will the proceeds on withdrawal be tax free for both EPF and PPF accounts ?
Avinash-EPF and PPF are different. In PPF you can invest up to Rs.1,50,000 (irrespective of your contribution to EPF). However, the limit in Sec.80C for tax saving purpose is set as Rs.1.5 lakh only where PPF and your contribution to EPF is also considered.
Hi,
You mentioned above that “Only one transfer request against the previous member ID can be accepted”. So can you please let me know that what does it mean exactly.
For example : Let us assume that I worked earlier in 3 Organizations and out of these three, only 2 Organization EPF is mapped to my current UAN whereas third EPF account is present with a seperate UAN. Then can i submit trasnfer request for all 3 EPF & EPS using current UAN or whether I will be able to transfer EPF & EPS for only one Orgaization account using Online facility. Other two I have fill offline form. Please suggest.
Regards,
Nitesh S. Gurav
Nitesh-In your case first you have to merge both the UAN.
Hi,
Thanks for early reply.
Can you please let me know that “Can I merge both UAN using One Employee One EPF Portal” or is there any other method for the same.
After merging what is the further process to get all 3 EPF & EPS transferrred to my current organization EPF & EPS.
Regards,
Nitesh S. Gurav
Nitesh-You can request for merger to EPFO through your employer.
Hi Basavaraj sIR,
I appreciate your efforts, please help me also
whenever I am trying to request online transfer my previous PF account to current one it gives error that “Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim request cannot be processed.”
Please help me
Praveen-I think the EPF details (personal) may be the mismatch. Check once again.
Hi Basavaraj Sir,
thanks for response, but my details are matching in EPF and Govt issued IDs. even after EPF system throws error.
Although in order to get rid of error I googled as well and found that Date of leaving is not available in EPF portal from my previous organization.
I am checking with previous org for the same but I don’t know whether it will solve the issue or not.
Best Regards,
Praveen Dadhich
Praveen-If that not solved, then knock the door of EPFO through EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Is this issue solved ?
Hi Sir,
It looks you are replying for everyone, giving suggestions . So good to see like you person.
Below is my issue.
I have 3 UAN’s for 3 different companies. all are activated. I am trying to raise transfer request but it says below error
“Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim request cannot be processed.” What details it will compare?
for current uan, aadhar is updated, but for previous uan, it is not. they said for exit employees, they cannot update the kyc for exit employees.
Please help what i can do, how can i transfer pf to latest UAN.
Thank you so much.
Regards,
divya.
Divya-The best option is to first merge all UAN under one (current). Request EPFO through an employer for the merger.
