Employer not signing the pf transfer/withdrawal form

You have posted that:

--"i was asked to digitally sign a mutual agreement stating that i would not join an of the clients of my old employer directly."

You have yourself answered that you have not joined the client directly.

Did the company provide you copy of the digital contract in advance and sufficient time to go thru it?

Did the company provide you signed copy of the digital contract?

--"Based on my request and also mutual agreement with the employer, i was relieved from my job 25 days in advance. I have received all the formal documents associated with it."

Did you receive and sign FNF statement. Once the notice pay was waived off company can not demand it in childish manner, now.

--"The HR states that i am bound to legal action and hence they cannot process my request.”

Is this statement verbal or in writing? You may record the statement ( audio/visual).

PF is immune from any attachment.

Can the amount standing to the credit of any member in the Fund be assigned, charged or attached?: The amount standing to the credit of a member in the Fund cannot be assigned, charged or attached under any decree or order of any Court. Similarly, the amount standing to the credit of a member in the Fund at the time of his death is free from any debt or other liability incurred by the member before his death and cannot be attached under any decree or order of any Court. {Section 10}

--Do you have the proof of delivery of PF transfer forms to Ex. Employer and acknowledgment of forms even if by email or recorded conversation? If yes you can succeed with your complaint to APFC, RPFC, Addl.CPFC, in concerned o/o PF commissioner with a copy to CPFC.

You may approach a competent and experienced service lawyer and serve a fitting reply to legal notice.

It shall be better to transfer the PF as you shall be eligible for pension after 10 years. If you withdraw before hand you shall loose major part of pension component.

If you have decided to withdraw, you may get the forms attested by either of designated authorities e.g. Bank Manager and submit to concerned o/o PF commissioner.

Whatsoever be the reasons. The employer cannot refuse to attest withdrawal form.  He is liable for prosecution. It appears you have not complained to the RPFC.

As far as transfer to new accoutn is concerned, it is not understood how old employer comes in picture.

You are working in another company.  Legally, you are not entitled for withdrawal and you are entitled to transfer only.  Unless you falsely declare to be not employed (please read the declaration on the form).

As far as issue of bond is concerned, it is clear that you have joined clinet's company as outsources and your skill andknowledge is put to advantage of client.  Being on pay rolls of another company is clearly a cloak and apprehension of your previous employer is correct.
