Hello,

He doesn't need to go to hyderabad for the procedure...he can do procedure for the same from Banglore....Ask him to fill up form NO. 10c, 19 and SSN (recently included).duly filled up form to be sent to old company. There officials would do further procedure. He can keep in touch with them to know status....As it has been long time it will take some time to reopen old case...bt withdrawal is surely possible...

Regards,
