Dear Sir,
Hello, I would like to have a suggestion about my PF KYC- name mismatches with bank account . I was in company A from 2016 to 2021. There after I was unemployed about 8 months. Before unemployed from the company my PF KYC was ok, even I withdrawn some amount twice without any error.
but since July 2022 (from when my employer rejected my bank detail/KYC request) I trying update my bank detail but my request is not processed just because now my employer havn’t authorized e-signatory.
Complain to EPF office.
Hello, I would like to have a suggestion about my PF withdrawal scenario. I was in company A from 2013 to 2015, then unemployed for about 8 months and then joined company B from 2016 to 2018. PF from company A was not transferred to Company B and company B had trust account. Now I am trying to withdraw my PF still held with Company A but my employer is denying to approve my bank KYC details saying that I will have to transfer my account to Company B and he can’t approve my KYC. Company B account being a trust account has been closed since I resigned from my company. Please guide me how to proceed further?
PS: I no longer work in any other company.
Yes you need to transfer the funds from A to B. Let all your money come in one account i.e B.
To withdraw PF from B company your employer – “B” will do the necessary paper work with EPF office. Even if the trust is closed the money remains safe with the EPFO and EPFO will guide you to withdraw the funds.
Thank you for your reply.
