The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Chandigarh recently ruled that the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) cannot use software-related issues as an excuse for nearly a decade's delay in transferring money from an employee's old provident fund (PF) account to his new PF account,
To tell you in a brief about the issue, Mr Garg was employed with Tech Mahindra in Pune on February 27, 2009 his office had opened a provident fund (PF) account for him. He left Tech Mahindra on February 27, 2009, and remained unemployed for sometime and then joined Infosys on July 19, 2010, where another PF account was opened by the HR department. This resulted into him having two PF accounts with EPFO.
