EPFO Simplifies PF Transfer Process for Employees in 2025. Transferring funds between companies will now be easier.
EPFO Rule: The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has provided significant relief to all salaried employees. Transferring PF funds from one company to another has become significantly easier. EPFO recently launched a revised Form 13 software to simplify this process. This change allows employees to directly transfer their PF accounts without employer approval.
Benefits of the New Changes?
Previously, transferring a PF account required approval from two EPFO offices. However, EPFO has streamlined this process. In the new system, PF funds will be transferred directly from one PF office to another PF account without requiring additional approvals.
Furthermore, details of the tax-exempt and non-tax-exempt amounts deposited in the employee's PF will also be transferred, ensuring accurate tax calculations for the employee.
No Employer Approval Required
Employees no longer need employer approval for PF transfers. EPFO believes this change will not only speed up the process but also benefit over 1.25 crore EPFO members.
UAN Creation without Aadhaar
EPFO has also introduced a process to create UANs without Aadhaar. This allows employees to quickly obtain their UAN number and ensures faster crediting of funds into their PF accounts.
