PF Transfer- EPFO has made its services digital and simple. Now you can transfer your PF account from the comfort of your home. This is not only convenient but also saves time.
New Delhi. When an employee leaves one company and starts working in another company, he has to transfer the money from his old PF account to the new company’s account. This keeps the PF amount in the same account and makes it easy to withdraw it in the future. Therefore, if you have also changed jobs, then definitely transfer the money from your old PF account to the new account. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has now made this process completely online. For this, you do not need to go to the EPFO office.
To transfer EPF money from the old account to the new account online, the account holder’s UAN must be activated on the UAN portal. Also, the mobile number used for activation should also be active. Apart from this, the employee’s bank account and IFSC code should also be linked with the UAN and the employee’s e-KYC should also be approved by the employer.
