PF Transfer (Form 13).
When an employee changes jobs, the PF balance and service history from earlier employers should move into the current account under the same UAN. Many transfers now happen automatically or go through without employer attestation where the UAN is Aadhaar-verified, but mismatched details, pre-UAN accounts and exempted PF trusts still need a Form 13 request worked through.
Typically filed within 2–3 working days. Completion depends on EPFO processing and, for exempted trusts, on how quickly the trust responds.

PF Transfer (Form 13), step by step.
Typically filed within 2–3 working days. Completion depends on EPFO processing and, for exempted trusts, on how quickly the trust responds.
- 1
Account mapping
We list the member's previous PF accounts and check which are already linked to the current UAN.
- 2
Detail matching
We compare name, date of birth and joining and exit dates across accounts and correct mismatches.
- 3
Transfer request
We help file the Form 13 transfer online, routing it for attestation by the previous or present employer only where that is still needed.
- 4
Follow-up to completion
We track the request with the EPFO offices or trusts involved until the balance and service history appear in the current account.
