❓ Expert Answers on Form 13
Transferring your PF keeps your pensionable service history continuous, which is essential to meet the 10-year limit for lifetime pension. It also helps you complete 5 years of cumulative service to make your future withdrawals completely tax-free. Additionally, your funds continue to earn compound interest.
Selecting your present employer is highly recommended. It is generally faster because your current employer has an active digital signature registered on the portal and a strong incentive to complete your onboarding process quickly.
