When

Employee Provident Fund (EPF) as well.With the introduction of
Unified Account Number (UAN) for EPFO subscribers, this process has
become simpler as the account number remains unchanged.Here's how to
initiate the EPF transfer process online.
1. Register
on the EPF member portal
In
order to initiate the claims transfer, you need to be a member of the
EPF member portal.
The registration on the portal can be carried out
by logging on to the EPFO India website.
2. Portal
for online claims transfer
The
employee must access the Online Transfer Claim Portal and register a
claim for transfer of EPF.
The login details for this portal are the
same as those for the member portal.
3. Check
eligibility..!
It
is important to check whether you are eligibile to make an online
transfer claim.
In some cases, a physical form (Form 13) must also be
submitted.

If
you are eligible to make the transfer online, click on the `Request
for transfer of funds' and enter the PF numbers of your previous and
current employer.
The claim needs to be attested online by either
your previous or current employer.
On filling in the details, a PIN
will be generated and sent to the registered mobile number.
5. Authentication..!
A
tracking ID will be generated to track the progress of the online
application.
The printable Transfer Claim Form (Form 13) can be saved
in the system.
Print out Form 13, sign it and submit it to the
employer to complete the process of claim submission.
