Guidance on Transferring Old EPF Accounts When Changing Jobs
When changing jobs, employees are advised to transfer their old Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) balance to their new account rather than withdrawing it. The Universal Account Number (UAN) remains constant throughout a career, and with proper KYC details, transfers can be automated once the new employer contributes. Consolidating EPF accounts helps maintain continuity of service and simplifies retirement savings management. Employees should verify their UAN and linked details to avoid complications during the transfer process.
