Welcome to this portal having 9600+ members all over India. Pl get in touch with the company at Delhi, which has taken over your old employer company. U have to fill 2-3 forms and submit through this new company. U need not personally go to Delhi, U can write or email to new company. U can also get the blank forms and guidance fron local EPF office. Pl visit www.epgindia.nic.in for addresses etc. After submission of completed forms to concerned EPF office at Delhi, if there is inordinate delay, U may invoke RTI by refering to my two blogs on PF on this site. All the best.
