Online transfer of EPF
When you move from one company to another, you
need to transfer your Employee Provident Fund (EPF) as well. With the
introduction of Unified Account Number (UAN) for EPFO subscribers, this process
has become simpler as the account number remains unchanged. Here’s how to
initiate the EPF transfer process online.
Register on the EPF member portal
In order to initiate the claims transfer, you
need to be a member of the EPF member portal. The registration on the portal
can be carried out by logging on to the EPFO India website.
Portal for online claims transfer
The employee must access the Online Transfer Claim
Portal and register a claim for transfer of EPF. The login details for this
portal are the same as those for the member portal.
Check eligibility
It is important to check whether you are eligibile to make an online transfer
claim. In some cases, a physical form (Form 13) must also be submitted.
Process
If you
are eligible to make the transfer online, click on the ‘Request for transfer of
funds’ and enter the PF numbers of your previous and current employer. The
claim needs to be attested online by either your previous or current employer.
On filling in the details, a PIN will be
generated and sent to the registered mobile number.
Authentication
A
tracking ID will be generated to track the progress of the online application.
The printable Transfer Claim Form (Form 13) can be saved in the system. Print
out Form 13, sign it and submit it to the employer to complete the process of
claim submission.
Points
to note
* The employer can view all claim requests,
verify or correct member details, and approve and submit the requests online
through this portal.
* Transfer claims forms can be submitted either
by the previous employer or by the current employer.
