PF transfer on job change, Form 13
What this means, checked by a CA
When you change jobs your old PF should move to your current account so your service and tax-free status stay intact. We check the passbook, file the Form 13 transfer online, get the right employer to approve it and track it till the money shows.

Questions people ask
Do I still need to file Form 13 if my UAN is the same?
In most cases transfer is automated under the UAN and no physical Form 13 is needed. File online if the old balance has not moved.
Is a PF transfer taxable?
No. A transfer is tax-free and helps avoid TDS on withdrawals made within five years of service.
Does my pension service also move?
Yes, your service record and pension service stay intact after transfer.
How long does it take?
Usually 20 to 30 days after employer approval.
Does a gap between jobs break my EDLI cover?
Under the EDLI Scheme 2026, a gap of up to 60 days between jobs is ignored for the 12-month continuous service test.
