PF transfer done, but Annexure K never generated? Here's what's pending.

Your PF transfer can show as complete while Annexure K, which carries your pension service, is still pending at the old regional office. It's an internal EPFO step, so you follow it up on EPFiGMS, not with your employer.

The short answer
Likely cause
The old regional office handles the fund transfer and Annexure K as separate steps, and Annexure K lagged behind or was never generated.
The fix
Confirm the transfer is complete, check your EPS service for the transferred period, then raise an EPFiGMS grievance citing your transfer claim ID.
Get help when
EPFiGMS shows no movement after 30 days and you need to escalate to the old regional office.

Is this you?

If one of these matches, you're on the right page.

Transfer shows 'Claim settled'

The transfer is settled, but you can't tell whether Annexure K went with it.

Pension service not reflected

Your UAN service history doesn't show pension service for the transferred period.

Your PF balance moved fine

The provident fund amount arrived; only the pension record is behind.

Thinking of a fresh transfer claim

You're about to file again even though the funds have already moved.

Your employer can't help

HR says it's not their step, because Annexure K is generated by the old regional office.

Save this first

Evidence to have ready before you do anything else

Gather these now — you'll need them whichever route this ends up taking.

PF transfer claim ID

Your Form 13 acknowledgment or transfer reference.

UAN service history

Check whether the transferred period's pension service is reflected.

Old Member ID

The account the transfer originated from.

What to do next

The exact sequence for this problem

Follow this in order — skipping ahead usually costs more time, not less.

01

Verify the transfer is genuinely complete

Check status on the UAN portal — 'Claim settled' for the transfer doesn't always mean Annexure K also generated.

02

Check specifically for Annexure K

This is a separate document/step at the old regional office, not bundled automatically with the fund transfer confirmation.

03

Raise a grievance on EPFiGMS

Cite 'Annexure K not generated post-transfer' with your claim ID — see the template below.

04

Escalate to the old regional office after 30 days

If EPFiGMS shows no movement, a direct escalation citing the claim ID often accelerates it.

05

Confirm your pension service history once resolved

This is how you verify the step has actually completed.

Ready to send

Grievance template — EPFiGMS

File this directly — it's an EPFO-internal step, not an employer action.

Do not do this:

  • Don't file a fresh transfer claim — the fund transfer is already complete; only Annexure K is pending.
  • Never share your UAN password, Aadhaar OTP, bank OTP, or net-banking login with anyone, including a consultant.
  • Don't assume it will generate automatically without following up — this step is known to lag at some regional offices.

TransfersNot concluded

PF transferred, but EPS service history not updated

Problem
A member's PF moved to their latest account, but the previous job's DOJ/DOE and EPS service didn't show in the current service history.
What I did
I compared the previous and current Member IDs, transfer records and statements, found the mismatch between the transferred PF and the EPS service, and guided an EPFiGMS grievance with UAN details, PF statements and Form 13 papers.
Outcome and lesson
This needed direct EPFO intervention to reflect the service information correctly; a portal-side correction alone couldn't resolve it.

Do it yourself, or get help?

Many PF problems can be fixed on the EPFO portal. Here's an honest way to decide.

You can do this yourself if…

  • The transfer shows as complete and you have the transfer claim ID.
  • You can see which period's pension service is missing in your service history.
  • You're comfortable filing the EPFiGMS grievance using the template on this page.

Get help if…

  • EPFiGMS shows no movement after 30 days.
  • The fund transfer itself hasn't completed yet.
  • Several transfers are involved and you can't tell which one is missing Annexure K.

Annexure K after a transfer: common questions

Is a completed transfer supposed to include Annexure K automatically?

Ideally yes, but in practice the two steps can be handled separately at the old regional office, and Annexure K sometimes lags behind.

How do I know if Annexure K generated or not?

Check whether your pension (EPS) service history reflects the transferred employment period — if it's still missing, Annexure K likely hasn't been generated.

Who is responsible for generating it — me or my employer?

Neither — it's an internal EPFO step handled by the old regional office, which is why the escalation route is EPFiGMS, not your employer.

Does this affect my PF balance?

No, only your EPS pension service record — your provident fund balance itself is unaffected.
