How to transfer PF account while changing company?

In a circular issued by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) on Wednesday, it was stated that:

Subscribers who have obtained a unique number (UAN) for their PF account can easily switch their accounts to a new employer if they change jobs. The new employer will receive the UAN and start paying monthly PF contributions.

Earlier, subscribers with UAN had to apply through the new or old employer to switch their PF accounts from their old employer to a new employer. This is no longer necessary.

PF subscribers who have UAN can apply online and transfer their PF account to a new company.

Even if there are multiple accounts under the same UAN number, including accounts started by a new company, if they are linked to Aadhaar, you can easily apply and merge the accounts.

If multiple accounts are linked to Aadhaar from the same UAN number, the PF online process will verify the identity and merge the PF account numbers without the need for an application from the company.

If the name, date of birth, Aadhaar number and gender match in the UANs received after October 2017, the employee can apply and switch the PF accounts without the need for an application from the new company or the old company. This has been said.

This gold price is not permanent.

This gold price is not permanent, but when people think of a problem in the country, they buy gold first. It is good to buy as much as needed, but buying too much is foolish. When there is a famine, the things they buy are food, clothing, and money. If we don't have money, it is difficult to sell gold for urgent needs. Gold price Gold market crash history   Will there ever be a situation where gold , which has been rising very, very rapidly in a short period of time, will become a commodity? Studies on gold say that it may come. If we look at the price of gold over the past 50 years, rather than just 10 or 20 years, it seems that what you are saying has happened. That is, in September 1980, the price of 1 ounce of gold touched $666. 19 years later, in September 1999, the same 1 ounce of gold was sold for $255. A 62 percent decline. An ounce did not touch $666 again until 2007. That is, 27 years later. Next, in 2012, 1 ounce of gold touched $1,772. But, in just three ye...
