How To Download And Fill Form 13 To Transfer EPF Account?

Whenever employees wanted to transfer old PF balance details to the new account, they have to follow some procedure. For that, form 13 should be filled, whether it’s offline or online.

What’s Form 13?

The deductor deducts tax at the time of paying the payee. He or she claims the same at the time of filling ITR. It may happen the total tax liability of the payee is less than the TDS, and he does not wish to wait till year-end for claiming a refund of the tax deducted. In this case, the payee has to make an application for lower deduction or non-deduction of tax in form 13 to his or her AO- Assessing Officer under section 197.

So, Form 13 is to be filled out separately for every financial year. The payer is responsible for making the payment with the responsibility of deducting the tax at specified rates. If form 13 is filled in the scenario:

• Payer incurred a loss at the end of the financial year.
