This article covers how to transfer PF from your old account to current one.
Switching job results in multiple PF accounts, one with each employer. In such cases, employees are left with two options:
Withdrawal of deposited amount after a break of 60 days. However, if the service period for that account is less than 180 days, only the PF contribution (Employee's 12 % and Employer's 3.67% ) would be received. Also, in case of withdrawal, previous service will not be counted in service eligibility for pension from EPFO
Transfer of deposited PF amount from old account to the current one. Transferring your PF ensures that full contribution is transferred to current PF account, as well your service length is also counted towards service eligibility for pension from EPFO
