Kindly help how to transfer my of amount.

Hello Karun,
Recently Supreme court has announced that employees with basic pay more than Rs.15000 is also eligible for PF Pension. If that ruling is implemented, you will be able to transfer or withdraw the funds in your EPS account. You can also contact Epf Twitter : https://www.twitter.com/socialepfo/ Epf Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/socialepfo/ for further enquiry.
Dear Radha,
Thanks for your support!Can I also ask my previous employer to transfer the EPS contributions to EPF employer contributions using joint declaration form to facilitate the EPF transfer to the current employer if I’m not eligible for EPS scheme with the Basic pay of greater than RS 15000 and can my employer change the settings in EPFO portal to bring in all the EPS contributions to EPS. Please support on this regards.
With regards
S.Karun Prasanna
Hello Karun,
EPS amount can be transferred to new employer eps account only. As i said in earlier comment, you will be eligible for EPS pension even with basic pay greater than Rs15000/- if SC verdict is implemented.
Joint declaration is not used for funds transfer. It is just a PF Correction Form.
Dear Radha,
Thanks for your support!
Sir, my kyc updated and also it say yes….. I give claim for my epf it say my father name is wrong what can I do
You have to submit epf declaration form to update father name in UAN through your employer. You should correct it as per aadhar and pan.
I want to correct my Father’s name on the PF account. In the Joint Declaration form, should I fill all the fields in the Correct column and update the corrected Father’s name in the Wrong column? Or in the Correct column also, i should only enter the Father’s name and leave all other fields blank? If I leave all the other fields blank in the Correct column, how will they understand for which PF number i am trying to correct the Father’s name?
Hello Stella,
You need to fill PF Number and UAN Number without fail. Apart from that, in your case, you have write wrong name under wrong column and fill correct father name under correct column.
Also, it is recommended to provided your aadhar card and pan card self attested copies along with epf declaration form.
