Process of Auto Transfer

1. When you submit the new Form-11 with supporting documents than your employer will feed these details in to the EPFO system.

UAN allotted to you (member) in the past.
Aadhaar no of the member.
Name of the member
Date of Birth of the member

2. The data thus submitted by the employer is validated with the information available against the UAN and in case of any discrepancy, the employer would verify/update the information provided.

3. In case, the earlier UAN was Aadhaar seeded and verified, the declaration by the employer of transfer request made by the employee in Form-11 will trigger an auto transfer process which will transfer the accumulations against your previous PF ID to the new PF ID. Form No. 13 is not required to be submitted in such cases. An SMS informing the subscriber about the proposed auto-transfer will be sent on his registered mobile number. Auto transfer will be completed only after:-

The member does not request to stop the proposed auto-transfer (either online, or through employer or at the nearest EPFO office) within 10 days of said SMS.
The first contribution by the present employer is deposited and reconciled.

Here is the declaration to be submitted your present employer.
