EPF Claims simplified

New Delhi Sept 23: In a move to grant relief in claiming EPF the EPFO has amended some rules. The body has done away with Form-13. Currently, employers are required to file separate EPF transfer claims using Form-13 after changing their jobs.

EPFO officials have said that "Once the old EPF account details are provided in F-11 form, the funds will be automatically transferred by the EPFO to new EPF account".



The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) decided to use new F-11 composite form, which is a declaration document filed by an employee through the employer to provide details like bank account number and Aadhaar.

Officials have said that "Currently Many people find it difficult to claim their EPF funds after they switch to new jobs, so we have decided to modify some of the existing rules."
