An account no. is given to every member of the PF Scheme.
Where a member of the Fund ceases to be employed in one region and secures employment in another region in an establishment to which PF Scheme applies or which is an exempted establishment or which is not covered under the Act but has a provident funds scheme of its own, he may apply to the Commissioner within whose jurisdiction he was previously employed, in a prescribed form for transfer of balance of the provident fund in his existing account to his account in the other region.
