When I started my job, I did not have a PAN, but the company was deducting PF. Now, I am moving to another company, how can I transfer the PF deducted by my previous employer?

The provident fund (PF) deduction are mentioned with details of your name, an account number, which if not mentioned in the salary slip, can be found through the accounts or HR department of your earlier organisation. You can transfer your PF with your current employer and get the consolidated PF by linking your earlier contributions with the contributions you are making with your current employer. The complete transfer of the amount can be linked to a single account which can be used by your new employer as well. Approach your current employer with your old PF details along with date of leaving the previous employer and submit the required Form 13 for transfer of EPF account. This PF form can be attested by either the old employer or the current one.
