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:
