EPF transfer online by UAN

Is it mandatory to go to the employer and submit a signed hardcopy after completing the process online for an EPF transfer?

I am an outstation candidate now. After doing the transfer claim online, I have took a print out of the receipt and signed over it. Then I took a coloured scanned copy as nd sent it over email to my previous employer.

After few days I got a message that 'your claim has been rejected by the company'

Should that not be accepted?

I welcome any suggestion here.
What should be my next step? more

Your present employer in India sends for to the PF deptt and the PF deptt after doing verification settles the claim and transfer to the present employer PF account so please ask your present employer to follow up with his circle PF office and finds out the valid reasons. also transfer of PF normally takes about 2-3 months more  
as per rules, yes if employer does not got the form13 hard copy with signature with in 20 days after filing, it can be rejected by employer. as you mentioned that your are in outstation, i suggest you to send a courier the hard copy with your signature to your employer (mentioned "PF tranfer" on the courier), make sure the post has to be delivered to employer before 10 days itself as we have time 20 days max to avoid any rejection. i am sure you got the warning messages on your phone regarding this rejections. any how, file it again and fallow the same procedure. more  
Please visit your employer, fill up the form provided by them and your pf problem will be solved. more  
I have also taken this up with Employee Provident Fund Organisation but as typical of all government organisations, their usual 'action' is to punish the lowest level employee who was only following what the institution had laid as laws. Your PF is just like a savings account and your employer is obliged to be paying you the monthly amount in the form of direct credit into the PF account. WHATEVER be the dispute you have with your former employer has nothing to do with YOUR personal PF account. Your PF irrespective of who credited the amount into it, is rightfully your own fund that even the government has no right to prevent you from accessing. And it is dumb of the EPFO to continue to ask for previous employer attestation even though everything has been digitised, people have been issued UAN and everyone has an UID - Aadhaar.

There might be some mismatch in filling the application such as name should always be filled in full, you might have indicated your short name so also Father's name. Please correct it and resubmit the same once again. The application should be routed through your present employer. If you are not in India, then submit form 10C for withdrawl with all relevant documents more
