If you want to transfer the amount of the Provident Fund (PF) from the previous company to a new account opened by the current employer, you can do so from your home. The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) also offers on-line PF transfer services. However, with the arrival of the Universal Account Number (UAN), all the employees’ accounts remain in one location, but the money stays in different accounts. So it’s important that you first share your UAN with the new firm. Later, transfer money from your old account to your current account.
How to Apply For PF Transfer
- Visit the Member Home-EPFO page first.
- Login by using Universal Account Number (UAN) and password.
- Go to online services and click on the Member-One EPF Account Transfer Request option.
- You need to verify the personal information and PF account.

- The request for the online PF money transfer process will be sent to the previous company.
- The process will be completed in the next 3 days. The company will transfer it first. Then the EPFO field officer will verify it.
