Hi... I left my previous company in December 2014 after 1 year of tenure. After 2 months now when I contacted them for withdrawal of my PF amount, they informed that neither I can withdraw it or nor I can transfer as they have not submitted the amount in PF account yet.
Please help me what I can do in this scenrio. They have said that once they submit the amount they will inform me but didn't provide any timelines.
Can i take any legal action? If yes then pls guide how can I do that.

Did you submit PF withdrawal forms under proper acknowledgment?
Did you record the calls?
Did you submit the minutes?
You can search in the list of defaulters maintained at:

You should certainly lodge complaint with RPFC with a copy to Addl.CPFC in the state,CPFC and pursue thru RTI.......
You can lodge complaint in police station too.

You can lodge a complaint with the Regional Provident Fund Office in your jurisdiction for this default.

This is a simple case of evasion.
Submit a complaint to RPFC in writing and request him to initiate proceedings under section 7A against the employer and request for your presence in the proceedings.
