Facility to Trace Out Old Account

Dear Chatterjee, merging your service at Madhusudhan to that of Engineers India Ltd will be difficult as you have already received Scheme Certificate. Please Submit Form-13 ( link : http://www.epfindia.com/site_docs/PDFs/Downloads_PDFs/Form13.pdf ) to transfer your service/ EPF to your Present EPF Account Number. Please note that this transfer is possible if you had not taken withdrawal benefit from your Pension Fund when you left Madhusudhan. Later on you can surrender your Scheme Certificate for merging the service at Engineers Delhi with your Present One. All these will increase your pension. more  

I am a member of EPF/ EPS since 06/3/1996. MY UAN number is 100268866139. My PF membership details are: Sr. No. Organisation Name Location Membership from Membership to EPF number 1 Madhusudan Industries Ltd Ahmedabad, Gujarat 06/03/1996 8/12/2004 GJ/1423/1704 2 Batliboi Ltd Surat, Gujarat 11/12/2004 5/2/2007 3 Engineers India Ltd New Delhi 13/2/2007 30/6/2011 DL/2097/23093 4 Balmer Lawrie & Co. Ltd. Kolkata 6/7/2012 Till date In 2012 when I left Engineers India Ltd I had received a Scheme Certificate no: DL/CPM/00018530. This scheme certificate mentions my date of joining current establishment as 11/12/2004. That means that my service at Madhusudan Industries Ltd from 6/3/1996 to 8/12/2004 has not been accounted for. There seems to be an error. I had submitted an online request in EPFO but their response was " You need to prefer Transfer claim for transferring the periods to your present PF a/c no." Kindly guide me so that my membership of PF/EPS for the period 6/3/1996 to 8/12/2004 is accounted for in my present UAN a/c. & the Scheme certificate is corrected. more  

VERY USEFUL FOR ME..THANKS ALL more
