I got the details from PF office today regarding monthly deposits, it is obvious from that my previous company has not deposited amount for my last 2.5 months of working and now PF office is saying its their duty to get that amount or to take action against the company.

I got the required information.

What action can now be taken against the company? OR Should I seek some more information before any further action ?

One thing new came out with after I got details of me PF amount deposited, during my last 2.5 months my previous company has shifted me to one of their sister company without any intimation to me and hence my PF account number changed and rest of the money is lying in another PF account !!!!

In my salary slips of last 2.5 months they didn't even bother to change my PF account number to new one.

It took them as well as me more then a year to find that !!!!
