Relieving to company

Dear Client,
Before joining another Company you are required to tender your resignation and to obtain a relieving letter from the earlier company serving the notice period as per the terms of employment that eventually caused the overlapping of service. The overlapping in service concerning previous and present establishments and any anomaly or discrepancy in EPF records of any registered member may be grounds for future disputes. When your EPF record shows an anomaly in the joining and exit date in both the previous and present Company which is contradictory, then until and unless those anomalies are rectified by the concerned employers, PF records will show overlapping or dual employment. So, to avoid such consequences, you may ask your current employer to defer the date of joining based on the relieving letter to be obtained from the ex-employer serving a notice period post-resignation. However, recently, EPFO has taken a resolution to waive the consent of an ex-employer for transferring a member's EPF Account to a new employer.
