What is proper documentation when using Provident Fund as PoF?
You will need to provide "Provident Fund Account Balance Certificate" and "Provident Fund Account Statement" directly from PF office locally in India.
The process is as follows:
1. You need to write a letter to the Regional PF Commissioner requesting for these documents:

2. You need to go to PF office where your PF account belongs to during weekdays (saturday and sunday are holidays) after 10:00 AM IST.
3. There would be a "Facilitation Center" or "Help Center" at the entrance for addressing daily visitors' requests. An official will listen to your request and provide necessary information. Please approach this official and show him your request letter and tell him what you need.
Important Note: If he says that no such letters/certificates will be provided in PF office, you can argue with him saying such letters are issued to my friends recently and also tell him that PF customer care suggested to get this letter from PF office directly.
4. He will then check all your details in his computer, once satisfied he will give you a receipt and asks you to go and meet Accounts officer in Accounts section.
