When you switch jobs, you need to move your old savings account to your new one.
This article explains how to do that with your Employees Provident Fund (EPF).
First, go online to the EPFO website.
You'll need your UAN and password.
Then, select the transfer option and fill out the form.
The website will ask you to choose your old or new employer to approve the transfer.
You'll get a code on your phone to confirm.
After that, you'll get a tracking ID.
Print the form and give it to your boss.
You can check if the money moved by checking your online passbook.
Make sure you have the right account numbers and that your old boss has the system set up correctly.
You can track the process online.
Remember, updating the date you left your old job is a must.
Transferring your EPF requires an active step to move funds.
Online transfer via the EPFO portal is the main method.
