How to withdraw your Provident Fund amount (for employees)
This is one of the most disturbing question of employees leaving Organizations – ‘How do i get back my PF amount?’
Now that is more simple than it is usually conceived to be. The first question one needs to ask oneself is that ‘Do you really want to withdraw the PF saving or simply transfer it to the new PF account with the new Employer?’ If the new employer you joined with does not have a PF account or you in fact you decide to while away your time then you still have 2 options!!
Option 1 – Withdraw the PF amount using the following 2 Forms
- Form 19 – For withdrawal of Provident Fund Amount
- For 10 C – For withdrawal of Pension Amount; But now, if you have already put in more than 10 years of contribution in PF then what you need is Form 10 D instead to withdraw the Pension amount.
Option 2 – Opt for a scheme certificate in lieu of withdrawal and transfer it to the the PF account of your new employer you wish to join later.
Now if you don’t wish to opt for any of the above and you only want to transfer your PF account with the new employer, i would say that this is a wise decision because there is no saving account in India which gives you a better interest rate than PF and secondly you can later opt for loan for housing, marriage, etc too. Well if this is your decision, then it is Form 13 (Revised) that you need. Just fill in the said form, get your present employers (authorized signatory) signature and forward the same to your previous employer. The PF amount in your previous employers PF account would get transferred to your present PF account.
Now if you have quit your employer and are going to submit your PF withdrawal Form, this is what you need to do to know the status of your PF claim…… just jot down your mobile number on top of the Form 19 (PF withdrawal form). The PF department claims that this will help you in getting to know the status of your claim
good understanding for withdrawl…but i want to know thwat in case of form 13 revised we have to pay (our employee who had left the job)that part of her PF deduction from slary we did?
Transfer of the PF money includes both the employer as well as employer contribution.
what are the documents have to attached with form 13 from the employer side?
Hi Surupa,
No documents are required. Only 2 sets of the Form 13 (revised) have to be filled and submitted to the old employer through your new employer.

What is the usage of form 11.Is it mandatory to get the form filled up by all employees even if somebody does not want to get his pf deducted
Hi Roy,
Could you clarify as to Form 11 in which Act are you referring to? There is no form as such for employees as Form 11 as the PF Act is the balance sheet.
Its under pf act
As in my company ,we are getting form 11 filled by each and every employee.I am bit confused whether is it right or not?

some organisations or employees (unexempted) who do not wish to contribute towards PF, employees require to fill in the FORM 11 to declare that they are not the member of PF. Is it a right practice?

Hi Sharad,
You will have to attach bank account passbook photocopy as document. The rest is for your employer to do.
Sir;
i have 12 years service in my office. so which form i want to use to withdraw my PF give me your suggession.
some of them say 10C and Some of them Say 10D.
i am 35 years old now. i am switching over to next company.
Hi Rameswaran,
If you are joining another company which is also covered under PF the i would suggest that you transfer your PF using Form 13 (revised). But if that company does not have pf then you can either withdraw the PF using form 19 and form 10D. In case you wish to retain the PF account and then later on use it join another organization with PF then you should apply for scheme certificate in lieu of withdrawal. For that you should use form 10C.

Hi Balai,
I hope you will get all your replies to the following link in the website : http://www.hrindya.com/hr-managers-toolkit/a-guide-for-pf-implementation/
Hi,
I have left my Employer in July 2008 & joined a new organisation but i have never claimed my PF, I want to claim the PF now as iam in need of money, can i claim the PF now & what is the proceedure.
Hi Abhishek,
All you need to know is your PF account code and where the remittence was made. YOu can call the HR/Admin of that previous company and get the details. Thereafter you need to include those particulars in
1) Form 10 C (if you have not completed 10 years of service in that Org) OR 10 D (if you have completed 10 years of service in that Org) – For Pension contribution
2) Form 19 – For Provident Fund contribution
Hi sir,
My last company does not signed in my pf settlement form so I got attested from gazette officer in form19 and form10C.After that I applied few days before form 10C approved but still form 19 is under the process .pls tell why form19 under the process still and how long it’s take time.pls reply sir as soon as possible.
Hi Ramakrishnan,
I will not be able to comment on why the Form 19 is not being processed by the PF Authorities. You can directly approach the concerned PF office and find out as they are obliged to respond to you.
some organisations or employees (unexempted) who do not wish to contribute towards PF, employees require to fill in the FORM 11 to declare that they are not the member of PF. Is it a right practice?
It is right practice but its not depends on employees choice if their basic wages >6500 than he/she applicable for From 11 otherwishe he/she should be pf member.
Hi Ravinder,
If your Organization as a practice has not been incuding employeess with wages above 6500 under PF then you my continue to do that. BUt you can thave some covered and other use their choise to opt out.

Your company does not require PF registration. But if you employ you workmen at another premises which is already registered under PF or would have more than 20 workers then your workers will also have to be covered under PF under the Principle Employers code.
