The instructions outlined below have to be followed while making payment to the international worker at the time of leaving India:

• Employer should make the payment of contribution through separate ECR within 3 days of the month in which the member is leaving the country;
• Employer should submit the claim forms in respect of such international worker by 6th of the month in which such member is leaving service;
• The Provident fund office will settle the account and credit the accumulated amount to the member’s account on the date of leaving service in India to the bank a/c maintained in India. (If the member desires interest on the settlement amount for the month of retirement, then the credit will happen on the first day of next month)
