Employee's Providents Fund Organisation [EPFO] — Non-transfer of PF accumulations

Address:	Royapettah Chennai
Website:	EPFO

There was a PF transfer request (TNMAS[protected] made to move PF accumulations to my new employer but it was rejected by PF Chennai Office citing previous employer(Standard Chartered Global Business Services Private Limited) didn’t submit Form 11. Upon my ask, previous employer sent a courier with relevant documents to PF Chennai office. However, since no action was taken by the PF Chennai office even after 15 days, I had to raise a grievance form (RCHEN/E/2022/09802) for which they took almost 30 days to respond.(Dealt by Mr. Manish Anand and Mr. Sumit Kumar Grover). They provided comments in the grievance form asking me to raise new transfer request but didn’t mention anything about Annexure K. After raising new transfer request for second time, (TNMAS[protected], PF Chennai office again rejected my transfer request stating to submit Annexure K.

I reached out to my previous employer on the guidance and was asked to download Annexure K and to raise a grievance again with EPFO. If PF Chennai Office provided clear requirement of the documents, this request could have been closed quickly but that’s not the case here. Due to lack of proper communication from PF authorities and previous employer, this request has been going no where since 9 months. Request RPFO Chennai and my previous employer to not waste everyone’s time by misguiding and to close this quickly.
