Withdrawal of provident fund

If the amount is received by the assesse before 5 years then full amount is taxable.

Therefore balance of RPF in your old company should be transfered to the new company and the period of service under previous employer shall be included in calculating the continuous service.

yes transfer of a/c is beter

Shamit ji,

If PF amount is withdrawn before 5 years of continious service then the deduction availed in previous years for the deposit of PF u/s 80C shall be deemed as income of the assessee in the relevant P.Y. and no further deduction shall be allowed for contribution in that P.Y.

Please mention whether it was RPF or URPF...
