How to Merge Two PF Accounts?

I learned how to merge two PF accounts last year when I switched to my job. It’s a complete online process and quite simpler than I thought. You just need to be mindful about a few things such as your approval of e-KYC and confirming your personal information under the ‘member profile’. You can either send an email to uanepf@epfindia.gov.in. requesting to merge your account, or visit the official website of the EPFO. I have shared the process below.

3. Then, you’ll see a tab with your present employment details. Confirm the details and your personal information.

4. Click on the ‘Get Details’ to view your PF account details of previous employment.

5. Then, enter your Universal Account Number (UAN)

PF or Provident Fund is a government scheme to help people plan and spend their post-retirement lives comfortably with good financial aid. My father retired two months ago and I got to know everything about PF in detail. During my father’s entire career, an amount was deducted from his salary and kept in a Provident Fund account and after his retirement, he got this saved amount as well as the gratuity amount that the government paid. Now my father worked in two companies and thus had to shift his PF account from his old company to new. I asked him how to merge two PF accounts so that I knew if I faced the same situation as his. This is what he told me:
