Overlaps of PF account dates
5 months ago
I had joined company A on 29 March 2022 but since the project work and time changes I asked them to delete my ID and not to contribute to my PF and salary and never had asset from them and then Joined company B on 6 Apr but somehow I got call from company HR that ID can't be deleted now so better drop resignation and will relieve you immediately on 7 Apr which I did and they marked me relieved on 8th Apr but at they same time they still created PF account for the DOJ 29 March to 8th Apr 2022 which is overlapping with 3 days with company B that is from 6th to 8th Apr. I have requested them multiple time that I joined another company and it's overlapping so please change it but they said the record can not be changed from our side . What can be done in this case .
I have never been paid by company A and received any asset to work from them.
A.Dear Client, The over lapping in service in respect of previous and present establishment and any anomaly or discrepancy in EPF records in respect of a fund of any registered member is a ground of rejection of claim. So, the stand taken by EPFO in rejecting your request claiming withdrawal of accumulation from the fund and closure of PF Account, prima facie appears to be correct and justified. When your EPF record shows an anomaly in the joining and exit date in both the A & B Company which is contradictory to each other due to wrong posting of exit date in the PF records by your ex-employer A, until and unless that anomalies are rectified by the concerned employers, your request for withdrawal and closure of PF account would not be processed by the PF Authority. A joint declaration form is used to correct Provident Fund (PF) member details. It is a combined form that the employee and employer sign and submit to the regional PF commissioner to update the wrong information entered in the employees’ PF accounts. An EPF member should fill out the joint declaration form to correct details like father’s name, joining date, Exit date etc., as these details will be verified against the Aadhaar. The EPF members or employees should physically submit the joint declaration form to the regional PF office with which the company or establishment is registered. The employees should enter the following details on the joint declaration form EPF: Date of form submission, Regional PF commissioner address, Name and company name , Correct particulars, i.e., particulars that need to be corrected or updated in the PF member account, Wrong particulars, i.e., particulars that have been wrongly entered in the PF member account, Signature of the applicant, name of the authorised signatory for the establishment and signature of establishment with its seal. After filling in the above details on the form, the employees should attach self-attested identity proof documents to support the correction claim and submit the form to the regional EPFO office where the establishments are registered. The PF office accepts the following self-attested documents to make the changes in the PF member account details like PAN Card Voters I /Card, Passport, Driving License, Aadhar Card. If there is any mismatch between the EPFO and EPF member records, then an individual can file a complaint using the EPF i-Grievance Management System (www. https://epfigms.gov.in/). An individual is required to provide documentary evidence where the mismatch is occurring. Documentary evidence can include salary slips showing EPF contribution, EPF statement shared by employer, etc. An employee cannot update the service history. Only an employer can rectify the error in the employment record of the EPFO. So if an employee finds an error in the database, they should contact their present or previous employers and get it corrected. When the Company A is not cooperating you in the matter, download a copy of Joint Declaration Form from the website of EPFO and fill it up and send to your previous employer A with a copy to the Regional Commissioner of PF for necessary action. In case Company A did not initiate any action, make a complaint before the PF Authority for necessary action.

Start by addressing this issue with the HR or the concerned department in your company. Clearly explain the situation and provide any supporting documents that verify your claim. If they are unwilling to make the necessary changes, you may consider raising the matter with the PF department or the labor authorities.
