Employee Provident Fund

Hi,

I am seeking help to know process for How to proceed for PF withdrawal.
Should i sent form-19 and Form 10C to Last employer.Should employer sent those forms to PF office?
Is there any other form, which i should fill in? Is there any document which i should expect from last employer.

Recently i get to know about the process. I am reproducing here , if it helps anybody

1) Sent duly filled Form-19 and form 10C to your ex-employer. In Karnataka there is no need of revenue stamp but check for other state.
2) Employer should attest both form and will provide Form-3A.
3) Go to PF office, with all those three form and take acknowledgment after submission
4) Within 2 month, amount should be credited to your bank account.(which you mentioned in withdrawl form. Some state ask for cancelled cheque too for bank account proof.)

Followup with PF office:
(I have gone through this process with bangalore PF office. Process might differ in other states)

1) If Amount has not been credited within time. Person can go to PF office directly with acknowledgment .
2) First contact to enquiry counter/PRO about in which section your account is held.

3) Got to that section, and person there will help you till your satisfaction. I found bangalore PF office people very helpful.

Hope this infromation may help to other people.
