Hi, I resigned from my present job to join my husband abroad. I am presently serving my Notice period. I didn't transfer PF from my previous employer, when i joined my present company. Can i submit the transfer forms now during my notice period to my present employer. Can mypresent employer reject the forms saying that they will not process the forms as i will be no longer an employee. I dont want to withdraw my PF amount as i will start working in India when i return after 1.5 years. Please Advice. Thanks in Advance.
Form 13 need not be sent to and attested attested by the previous employer. It should be signed by the present employer and through him only the same can be submitted to the EPFO. Just on the ground that you are in notice period the employer cannot refuse to sign the transfer form. It is the duty of the employer to get either form 2 whenever an employee joins or alternatively to get form 13 in case the new employee already had a EPF account with his previous employer. In your case also the employer should have taken form 13 and sent it to EPFO well when you joined. Therefore, you can send the form 13 now and later after 2 months submit the other forms (form 19 and form 10C) required for withdrawal of Provident fund. You can take scheme certificate by opting for the same in form 10C sothat when you come back and join another establishment your service will be counted. It is meaningless to keep both the accounts (Provident Fund and Pension Fund) as non contributory till you take another employment in India. Regards, Madhu.T.K
