( along with supporting enclosures – FORM 3A/7(PS), 5 & 10 in original to be arranged from your

previous employer ) , it may delay the process as it involved several phases involved with in RPFC i.e.

verification task of the member details with the previous employment would be sent to the previous

employer & in addition to the claim attestation by the present employer, which might take relatively

more time & may result in delayed PF/Pension Transfer or possibility of applying again.

time to transfer the PF/Pension accumulations to the present PF Account.
