Note :—The Employees’ Provident Funds Scheme, was published in the Gazette of India, vide number S.R.O. 1509, dated the 2nd September, 1952 and lastly amended vide number G.S.R. . 744(E) dated the 9th September, 2010.
My last contribution to PF was on Dec 2022. Since then I am unemployed and there is no contribution to PF. Interest for FY 22-23 and FY 23-24 has not been credited to my EPFO UAN account. When will it be credited?
I am PF & pension fund member from 1.1.90 to 31.12.17. In between Tr on 1.12.2009 & submitted TR form 13 in Jan 2015. PF office has not credited me interest for 2012 to 2015 though i was continuously in service. Guidance is required to claim the interest. The a/c was not inoperative.
I resigned from a company in India on 14-Mar-2014 and didn’t withdraw PF amount. Presently, my status is NRI for last 4 years. Whether I will continue to get interest even after 3 years?
Rule says account will become inoperative if person has moved abroad permanently. Is NRI considered to be moved permanently?
Thanks,
