Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has made reforms in some cases to simplify online transfer claims. With this change the PF transfer process will become simpler. The delay in transferring the partner will reduce and efficiency is expected to increase. EPFO has taken this step to provide great relief to those changing jobs. This work can be completed with the help of Aadhaar and other documents.

The Employees Provident Fund Organization often keeps changing its rules, so that the members can get the right benefits. Under this, EPFO ​​has also changed the transfer rules. Now employees will be able to easily transfer their EPF account themselves.

What will be the benefits?

• Instant Transfer: This will speed up the transfer process, eliminating the need for employer intervention in some cases.
• Convenient Management: Members will have the ability to transfer directly to the EPFO ​​portal.
• Better Transparency: The simplified process will promote clarity and reduce dependency on employers.

No interference by employers on these accounts
It is noteworthy that for Member IDs linked to Universal Account Number (UAN) and Aadhaar linked after October 1, 2017, employer intervention is no longer necessary. Similarly, for transfer between Member IDs associated with multiple UANs issued after October 1, 2017, but linked to the same Aadhaar, a simpler process is applicable.

Which accounts will be transferred?
For streamlined transfer process for UAN linked Member ID and Aadhaar linked transfers issued before October 1, 2017, it is required to have the same name, date of birth and gender on both the accounts. Transfer can be made between Member IDs linked to different UANs, provided that at least one UAN has been allotted before October 1, 2017 and is linked to the same Aadhaar number. This is applicable only if name, date of birth and gender are same in all member IDs.
