Is there any time limit with in which I have to send the PF transfer forms to my previous employer? I have sent my PF transfer forms to my previous employer after 2.5 months from my relieving date. But they processed my PF for withdrawal before that (I mean before they received my transfer applications) only. I never asked for PF withdrawal during my relieving process and never filled any such application. In fact I told corresponding depts during my relieving time that I will be sending my PF transfer applications from my new employer once I join them. When I asked first they told that they haven't received my PF transfer application forms at all.
When I showed the proof that my PF transfer forms were delivered to them by the courier agency, now they are saying that they have wait period of 60 days. Since my transfer application forms haven't reached them before that specified 60 days wait period they went for withdrawal processing. Due to which I lost 30% of my PF amount as TAX. Now, they are asking to come and collect the cheque. My PF is managed by a Private PF trust which is owned by my previous employer. How should I proceed now?
Thanks in advance for any help and/or guidance's.
