EPFO Latest News Update: If you are an EPF subscriber then there is big news for you. According to the new rules, the EPF subscriber will have to link the Aadhar card with his account before September 1. EPFO has made it mandatory to link PF and UAN with Aadhaar. Earlier its deadline was June 1, which has been extended to August 31.
In its circular, the EPFO has asked all the offices to be ready to implement this rule from September 1.
