Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) have system inplace to link their 12-digit unique Aadhaar number with their Universal (portable PF) Account Number (UAN)
UAN or Universal Account Number is allotted by EPFO to subscribers/employees, who contribute a part of their savings towards provident fund (PF). The UAN remains portable throughout the lifetime of an employee. Employees don't have to apply for PF transfer claims while changing jobs. If a member is already allotted UAN, then he or she is required to provide the same on joining a new establishment to enable the employer to in turn mark the new allotted member identification number (Member ID) to the already allotted Universal Identification Number (UAN). The UAN acts as an umbrella for the multiple member IDs allotted to an individual by different establishments.
Employees' Provident Fund Organisation in a recent tweet the benefits of seeding the Aadhaar number:
To get the Aadhar details updated to one’s PF account, it takes a time of 15 days for successful submission. The EPF web portal is the place from where Aadhar details can be submitted and the link between the UAN and Aadhar can be made. This linking must be done by every individual who works in public or private sector. The Aadhar card is a foolproof identity of an employee which contains bio-metric details of the person. This results in swift, efficient and transparent access of PF accounts by its authentic user.
Step 1: Go to EPFO and Click on "eKYC Portal"
Step 2: Click on "LINK UAN AADHAAR" button
Step 3: Fill the form and submit
The facility has been made available at EPFO’s website http://www.epfindia.gov.in>> Online Services >> e-KYC Portal>> LINK UAN AADHAAR.
