Provident Fund doubt

1) have you provided the new employer the details of PF account of old employer, if yes then new employer has to continue old pf account for your contributions under new company.

2) if No, then they will generate new employee id after initial trainee period and would submit contributions to new account, in that case you have to claim old company pf by submitting form 19and 10, duly countersigned by old employer.

3) if pf is deducted, then the same would be deposited to pf, new entry procedure may take some time, but not to worry about it.

4) in case u leave the job next, you have to get acount slips, and form 19+form 10 duly countersigned by employer to produce your claim again in pf office.

See if this can help

I did not provide the old PF account details to my new employer. But they said they are already deducting the PF from my salary. Honestly I don't know where they putting that money into.

Thank you for explaining the procedure. So, now, when I leave my current company, all I must do is get form 19 & 10 countersigned by my current employer to submit in the PF office. More doubts.

1. Also, I would like to know what I can do if my employer does not countersign form 19 & 10 when I leave (understanding that he will be upset with me leaving) the company. Would I end up losing my PF for the duration that I worked there?

2. I know that I must sign a form for opening a PF account with my nominee details. But I heard there are different types of PF accounts. Is there any kind of PF account for which I dont have to sign any form with my nominee details? Like a PF account which the company can open on my behalf or something?

as there is only one PF for employees of private sector, others are trust funds, not linked with PF

ask your company manager about your doubts.

Thank you for the clarification on types of PF accounts. The problem is that my companies management is not so supportive regarding financial matters. Now, I just want to know if I can do anything if my current company does not help with transfering my PF money.
