Self Intro...& 1st query

[sensa]

Hi to all the members..

This is sensa from mumbai, and am a member of many forums related to my profession, and it so happens that i have encountered a deep blackhole regarding my past savings such as PF/EPF with many organisations i have worked and on surfing the net for a solution to my many queires I stumbled upon this wonderful community , who I hope will be able to help me out.

The situation that led me here to get registered and introduced is as under:

I have been working in many organisations that did offer the EPF & EPS schemes. It so happens that in trying to build a career, i quite forgot to transfer my accounts from one co to the next... hence I have landed up having many PF accounts. (Delhi /Chennai/ Bangalore)

What I need to know from this community is that
1st:- Is there a possiblity of me recovering my PF from any of the EPFO's. The delay in transfering is since 1996 to 1999 (5 diff co's)
2nd:- How can I go about processing the withdrawal forms reqd.
3rd:-Will these PF accounts have earned interest over a the period of time?

Any one who can help on this , I will be deeply grateful, as I need this money now to settle many of my depressing loans..

Thanx in anticpation

Better late than never . Have patience and have faith in yourself. Make fresh application requesting for transfer of your accounts to latest account. simultenously file RTI application asking for action taken report on your request .

Thanx poonam, but at present I do not have an epf acct. Can I ask for withdrawal from each of the individual accts to be deposited to my savings bank. And how long will this take for me to receive it ?

Thanx once again
