Transfer EPF automatically online on change of job

EPFO (Employees Provident Fund Organisation) has recently launched new EPF Composite Declaration Form-11. This new EPF Composite Form will replace existing Form-11 and Form-13 in all cases of EPF auto transfer. EPF Form-11 is a declaration form currently submitted by a person taking up a new employment in an organization which is covered under EPF scheme. Form-13 is used to transfer the EPF and Pension from old EPF account to the new EPF account. The new EPF Composite Declaration Form-11 will allow employees to transfer EPF automatically while changing job. This automatic transfer of EPF will only be possible if the UAN is Aadhaar seeded and verified. If the UAN is not Aadhaar seeded and verified then Form-13 will be used for transfer of EPF account from the previous organisation.

This is the form which employee has to submit to the employer at the time of joining a new job. Normally, the HR department asks the new employee to fill this form if the establishment is covered under EPF scheme.
