The deadline for employees to activate their Universal Account Number (UAN) and link it with Aadhaar and bank accounts is approaching. Earlier, the last date for this was January 15, but it was recently extended to February 15. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is urging members to complete the process by this deadline.
EPF Members: Why is this necessary for EPF members?
It is worth noting that performing this task is essential for seamless access to EPFO services including Provident Fund (PF) account management, withdrawal of funds, and employment-related benefits.
EPFO ELI UAN Activation Deadline
Initially, the deadline for activating UAN and linking Aadhaar with bank account was January 15. However, to enable all employees to complete this task, this deadline has been extended by one month. With the deadline now fast approaching, those who have not yet linked their UAN should act quickly to complete this task to avoid service disruptions.
EPF Subscribers: Why should EPF subscribers do this?
Universal Account Number (UAN) is a 12-digit identifier assigned to all EPFO members. It serves as a PF account identifier throughout life. It remains the same across EPF accounts across all companies, even if you change jobs. It is essential to activate and link UAN with Aadhaar and bank details. Here are its main uses:
- PF Account: Easy online PF account management
- PF Balance: Access PF balance and passbook downloads
- PF Withdrawal: Hassle-free withdrawals from PF account, transfer accounts.
- Employment Linked Incentives: Easily track claims and employment linked incentive schemes.
Failure to complete this process may result in delays in accessing EPFO benefits, or, restrictions may be imposed.
