The merger of pf accounts is necessary

When you join the job, you are given a UAN number by the company. This number is proof that you have an account with EPFO. It needs to be activated. Your company opens a PF account under this UAN, to which both you and your company contribute every month.

When you change jobs, you give your UAN to the new company, which opens another PF account under the same UAN. It is necessary to merge your previous PF account with the new account opened later.

When to pay tax?

If you withdraw money from your PF account after 5 years then you will not be taxed. If you withdraw your PF before the completion of 5 years, then it may attract tax.
