Dear all,
Some clarifications are expected in response to this post from our learned HRian regarding GPF, CPF, EPF, and PPF. We have received some information about EPF. Can anybody provide some hints about General PF, Contributory PF, and Public PF? How can we learn about the various procedures such as transfer, withdrawal, etc., under GPF, PPF, and CPF Rules? Also, it would be helpful if the necessary statutory forms for claiming, transferring, or partially/fully withdrawing PF amounts under GPF, PPF, and CPF Rules are explained. Any member with ideas on the above is welcome to contribute and stay updated. Thanks and best wishes to all members on the auspicious occasion of "DUSSEHRA (Durga Puja)." Early responses/replies are awaited.
With warm regards,

Mr. Amit,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I've already visited the EPF site which is specially meant for employees who are employed in any of the industries specified therein. Reminding you that my query was about General PF, Contributory PF, and Public PF. I just want to know if there is any website that can provide all the details about the same?
Thanks and best wishes.

As per my knowledge, I am saying a few words, but I can't say it is 100% correct. GPF is for the state government employees, as in the case of Tamil Nadu, especially the teachers and others.
PPF is the Public Provident Fund introduced in the year 1999 by the Central Government, which requires the general public to contribute by having a separate PF Code and managed by the Post Office. They will have a pension at the retirement age, but I think that this scheme is currently not active.
In the case of CPF, the Central Government had issued a notification in the year 2003 or 2004. Those who are recruited for the posts filled by UPSC will be covered under the Contributory Pension Fund. They will not be eligible for the old service pension rules that were previously applied to employees. I believe this scheme is currently in effect.
