When you transfer money from PF account to one account, your entire money is not transferred, so you should take care of this special rule.
An important part of the savings of the salaried people is the PF account itself, in which some part of the salary keeps getting deposited. In PF, a part is deducted from the salary of the employee and a part is deposited by the employer i.e. your company. When you change a company, even after having one UAN, multiple accounts are generated in the account. When you need to withdraw money from PF account, then all the account money has to be merged into one account.
