EPF and other employee welfare programs are managed by EPFO. To ensure that EPF-related transactions are completed on time, employees must be aware of EPFO forms. Employees must be familiar with the following EPFO forms:
Form 19: To withdraw EPF funds following employment termination. The form is completed by the employee and sent to the employer for further action. For the final settlement of the EPF balance, the employer attests and sends it to the EPFO office.
Form 10C: To withdraw the EPF-linked Employee Pension Scheme (EPS) balance. The employee completes the form and sends it along with scanned documents to the employer for further processing. The business validates and submits it to the EPFO office for settlement of the EPS balance.
Form 31: To make partial or complete withdrawals from EPF funds in certain situations, such as marriage, house renovation, or medical emergencies. The worker can apply in person or online. The funds are credited to the bank account following approval from the employer.
Form 13: To move the EPF balance from the past manager to the ongoing boss. The form is completed by the employee and sent to the previous employer for further action. In order to transfer the EPF balance, the previous employer attests and sends it to the EPFO office.
If an employee requires assistance with these forms, they must visit the official EPFO website or seek assistance from their employer. Name, address, PF account number, date of employment, EPF Code, account number assigned to new employee, and other personal and employment information are required on the forms. For further processing, the employer’s certification is required.
To have a smooth EPF experience, it is essential to be familiar with these forms. Employees are required to keep up with the most recent EPFO regulations and keep track of their EPF-related transactions.
