Transfer your PF account without employer approval

To ensure ease of doing for its members, the  process has been simplified for transfer of PF account thus reducing delays and ensures a seamless experience for employees changing jobs.





However, this simplification process will not be applicable in certain cases. Below are the scenarios where simplification applies:

Same UAN with Aadhaar Linkage (Post-2017):
If transfers are between member IDs linked to the same UAN (issued on or after October 1, 2017) and Aadhaar, employer approval is no longer required.

Different UANs with Aadhaar Linkage (Post-2017):
Transfers between member IDs associated with different UANs (issued on or after October 1, 2017) and linked to the same Aadhaar can now be processed directly.

Same UAN with Aadhaar Linkage (Pre-2017):
Transfers between member IDs linked to the same UAN issued before October 1, 2017, are eligible, provided the UAN is linked to Aadhaar, and the member’s name, date of birth, and gender are consistent across Member IDs.

Different UANs with Aadhaar Linkage (Pre-2017):
Transfers between member IDs associated with different UANs (where at least one was issued before October 1, 2017) and linked to the same Aadhaar can also be processed, as long as member details match across IDs.
