  1. Dear Finance Guru Team,
    I have transferred my EPF online to my current organization from the previous organization online. The transfer has been approved by my previous employer.

    In my previous account, I had a transfer-in from the 1st company and that was showing up in transfer-in section, but that amount was added to the total balance. Now that I have done a transfer from the 2nd account to the 3rd account, will the balance from 1st & 2nd account get credited to the 3rd(current account) along with the pension fund ?


    One more query- The interest gets accumulated at the year end, i.e 31 mar 2015, now that I have transferred the amount to the 3rd account which is my current epf account, will I be losing on the interest accumulation ?

  2. I had chosen present employer for online transfer claim attest. And present employer also approved the claim. What happens next?
    Is there any possibility of rejection of claim by previous employer?
