1- Form 19This form is be filled to withdraw the entire accumulated PF amount which is also known as ‘final settlement’. You need to fill your personal details and employment details such as your date of leaving, reason of leaving services, date of joining services, PAN, UAN and Aadhaar Number, bank account details, full postal address, etc.
2- Form 10C
If you want to withdraw only the Pension amount, Form 10C should be filled. The fields in this form are similar to that in Form 19. The Pension amount is regulated by the Employee Pension Scheme, 1950 whereas the PF amount is regulated by the Employee Provident Fund Scheme, 1952. So even if you want to withdraw both the amounts, you will have to fill the two forms separately.
