Where a seaman leaves the seafaring profession with no present intention
of resuming that profession and obtains employment in any establishment to which the Employees'
Provident Funds Act, 1952 (19 of 1952), applies, the amount standing to the credit of such seaman in the
Fund shall be transferred, within such time as may be specified by the Board in this behalf, to the credit of
his account in the provident fund of that establishment, if the seaman so desires and the rules in relation to
that provident fund permit such transfer.
