EPF DOJ And DOE Overlap
2 years ago
I got two job offers one with DOJ 24th May' 21 and another 28th May. Now, i joined company A on 24 may and informed company A on 28 may that i will not be able to continue due to family reasons. Now, on 28 may Friday i submitted the documents and partially completed the onboarding process jof company B. In evening company A approach me and offer to work from home permanently so i decided to go back to company A and dropped an email to company B on Sunday to stop on boarding process and don't process any documents. Now, company B opened the EPF account within 4 days( including weekend). Company A opened PF account lately starting 24 May. Company B made May contribution as well. Without even working for 5 mins or getting any salary for a day company B processed my PF. Now, will i never be able to withdraw my pf on retirement. Practically, i didn't worked for company B but technically they processed my paper for PF. I stopped the claim transfer process now really not sure what to do. Date of exit is still not entered my company B so can i put 28 may or 31 may the day the working day i.e. Monday. Company is saying 1 Jun'21 as per records I am saying I didn't worked for 5 mins why can't you mention 28th May or 31st May. My current company A is ready to give a letter stating that i am a full-time employee of them. Please suggest how to resolve this matter.
You have to get rectify the said contradictory documents otherwise you have to face trouble from both the companies. You may opt for one and ask to close down another account thus you can save the job.

If an individual remains unemployed for one month then they can withdraw 75% of his/her EPF corpus. The balance of 25% can be withdrawn if the member remains unemployed for more than two months. You may consult legal representatives as it will be much more efficient while dealing with such intricate documents. Till then you can make a written application towards B and ask them to put 28th May as the date of exit since you haven't worked there and you can too attach a letter that you receive from company A for their convenience.
