New Delhi. If you want to transfer the amount of your provident fund (PF) from the previous company to a new account opened by the existing employer, you can do it from the comfort of your home. The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) also provides online facility to transfer PF. However, since the arrival of the Universal Account Number (UAN), all the accounts of the employee remain in the same place, but the money remains in different accounts. So it is important that you share your UAN with the new company first. Later transfer the money from the old account to your new account. To do this process online, you have to follow some easy steps… How to apply for PF transfer:
