The first bunch are now coming to the 7 year itch (fully vested in Provident Fund)
If you hear anyone mention they are delaying their decision to depart awaiting this development let them know 'tis a red herring. Suppose you have five years in - it is quite possible the company owes you more than you have in the provident "A" fund as the amount they pay you must be equal to or greater than your EOSB. There is a link somewhere on HR Direct which calculates that latter amount for you and you can discover whether or not it is in your favour to leave ASAP.
