Dear PF Experts, My daughter worked in 3 different organizations from 2011 to 2021 (one after the other without any gaps in service and without any overlaps also). She is not working now. When she was working in 3rd organization, she was able to get UAN. In this UAN, PF accounts of second organization and third organization are mapped/moved. Somehow, first organization’s PF account not moved to this UAN. My queries are:- 1) Can she move first organization’s PF account to the above UAN now? If so, what is the procedure to move? 2) Can she withdraw the full PF amount available in UAN now through online mode without moving first organization’s PF account to UAN and claim PF amount accumulated through first organization at a later date through offline mode? 3) Somewhere I read that even for claiming PF amount available in UAN, first we need to merge the accounts in UAN. Is it correct? When two accounts are already available in UAN, why merging is required? Not able to understand merging point clearly. If merging is required, how to merge the accounts? Or can she withdraw one after the other? It would be great if suitable advice / guidance is given to us. Best regards Murali Krishna
Ans: Hello;

Answers to your queries as given below:

1. Yes she may link First company pf with this UAN.

2. Yes, but it is advisable to withdraw entire pf in one go! The complexity of withdrawing from old pf account not linked to current UAN will only increase with time.

3. Merging multiple pf accounts under single UAN(active) is a simple online process(EPFO provides step by step guide on their website for the same, even other reliable resources are available). It is essential to do so before withdrawal.

Best wishes;

Hi Mam, Hope you are doing well. I am very worried about my son who is now 12.5 years old and studying in 7th standard in a very reputed school. Since childhood, he has no interest in studies, unless we doesn't seat in front of him, he doesn't study. Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class and the result is he doesn't get good marks in the exam. When we scold him for studies, he does it for that particular time only and then get back to his non-interest mode again and start to run from studies. He will play video games, goes to play around with his friends, he will find some or the other reason for not doing studies or homework. The irony is that he is not interested in any sports or any other kind of activities. In every summer holidays, we make him to join some sports or music classes, but there also he doesn't show interest and do things just for the sake of showing. From last year, we have started sending him to tuitions also, but no change in attitude. This year we have found a teacher of his reputed school who is retired and taking tuitions, we are sending him to her and she is charging a big amount for tuitions. please guide how can we change his attitude and make him more serious in any activity he does as he doesn't have interest in anything (we have observed doing everything we can).
Ans: Hello Sunil!!

I am doing great, thank you for asking, God bless you!

I can totally understand when you say you are worried.

Your son is 12.5, he will soon be a teenager. There will be different challenges, I want you to read up on parenting a teenager and be ready to handle him well.

The problem as I see it is that everyone of you, his teachers included have made studies like a burden for him.... and subjected the young child to a lot of anxiety, he just wants to run away form it....
"Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class".... this statement of yours... it is the teacher's duty to ensure the child listens to him/her, how can she start labeling a child like this. From a young age your son has been conditioned to believe that he is not not good in studies, he doesn't focus and he doesn't sit in one place. All my sympathies are with your son...every child comes with immense potential and it's our duty as parents and teachers to nurture the child.

The following is what I propose so that we bring him back to loving to learn ( not score marks, that should never be the barometer)-
1. Love your child the way he is now
2. Give him lot of positive strokes
3. Have one on one sessions for any activity you plan for him... let him choose the activity, empower him
4. choose a teacher, who can get along with him and help him develop a positive attitude towards studies and life in general
5. look for a school where they nurture him... not just a reputed one...less number of students and a teacher who is invested in her/ his students,

If you can connect with me, I can help him. Have had many a students in this kind situation.
