  1. My employee have old PF no generated before 2013. Now he got his UAN where UAN is not linked with Aadhar, so now we are unable to register his UAN from our side. How to proceed further. He has not withdrawn his PF amount till date. We are yet to upload his PF details before due date (15 Feb). So can we provide a general letter to PF office stating the issue or can create new PF no? Please assist.

    • If your mobile number and KYC are linked your PF account, you can find your UAN online.
      Otherwise you have to get it from your company or respective PF office.

    • I just last week dealt with a similar case. Fortunately aadhar linked mobile is with employee’s father and I could login and submit the claim. Since you left in 2001, they will ask for residential status (Passport) and Form 15G

  3. Hi,
    I worked in an organization where I had a pf account till July 2012. I had withdrawn all the amount after leaving the organization. I have no records of my old pf account and there is no UAN as it was introduced in 2014. After this I never worked in an organization where PF was required until 2022. In 2022 I was asked by my employer to enroll into PF, but I declined because I did not have an Aadhar card. But now the auditor of my company has raised a query that how can I opt out of PF when I was a member 10 years ago. Can I keep myself opted out of pf since my earlier pf account was closed on because of complete withdrawal?

    • There is no relation between your previous PF account withdrawal new PF account creation.
      If your new employer wants to create, they can create new PF account for you depending on your eligibility.

    • You can transfer pension from your old UAN to new UAN, you can do that online on UAN member portal website.
      Login to UAN portal with your new UAN, and apply for pension transfer.

    • You can merge your first PF account with your second PF account online on UAN member portal website.
      for that you have to use PF transfer option on UAN member portal.
      But as your PF account is very old, you face problems during online PF transfer process, In such case, submit PF transfer form 13 to your second PF office.

  7. When I left my first Company after 4 .5 years and joined new company I took PF amount and
    created new PF in this company where I am working for last 12 years. Can I still add my old PF account in current UAN for which I closed the PF and took money. Am I eligible for higher pension as per new EPS rule for the years which I worked in my first company after closing the PF account.

    • If you have withdrawn your total PF and pension amounts from your previous PF account, then that service history will not be considered for a higher pension.
      Still, if you want to merge that PF accounts with your current UAN you can apply for a PF transfer, EPFO will decide whether to merge it or not.

    • 1. First, you have to find your UAN associated with both PF accounts, for that you need to visit both PF offices directly or contact them via their email or Whatsapp, or Twitter (you can find those details online).
      2. Once you know your UAN then submit PF joint declaration forms to both the PF offices to correct your PF details.
      3. After correction of PF details transfer your PF from your first PF account to the second PF account. Later you can withdraw the full amount from your second PF account.
