This query is : Resolved
Hi Sir,
This is Srikanth Chitturi. I have requested PF transfer from my old employer to new employer. It was done by my old employer and cheque was sent to my new employer. But, some mistake happen from my new employer, the cheque was expired and they re-initiate the process to my old employer. But, i didn't get any response from my old employer. Request you to advice me to solve the problem.
This will be much helpful to me! Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Srikanth.

Was the PF a/c in old employer maintained by EPFO?
If both companies are maintaining a/c's with EPFO then why cheque was sent by old employer?
IN any case it is default of current employer and let it call/talk/speak/write to old employer and resolve the matter.
You may transact on this matter in writing under proper acknowledgment, atleast from personal email id and obtain written replies.

PF account is maintained by the Commissioner Provident Fund which do not have any bearing on change of employer and need not be closed/changed on switchingover to new assignement/employer. Just inform your past and present employer with an intimation to to PF Commissioner, balance of your account shall automatically be taken case by CPF.

Is it your real problem or a hypothetical academic query? In fact your description of the problem is quite insufficient about some vital information to make any headway to arrive at some purposeful opinion.
If a real problem, please clarify the following points:
1) Whether you were a Government employee or the employee of a private/public company?
2) Whether your present employer is a Government department or some company?
3) Who maintained your PF account, the EPFO or your employer?
4) If your own employer was maintaining your account under what conditions he was maintaining your account and not remitting the dues of PF to the EPFO?

For PF account transfer, the old employer need not send a cheque to the new employer. In fact the old employer has no role in transfering the account.
You have to inform the new employer regarding your existing PF account. They will do the needful for continuing with the existing PF account.
