UAN – All you wanted to know about the new EPF system
POSTED BY ON February 5, 2015 COMMENTS (861)
EPFO has brought some major changes in the way it works and a new system called UAN (Unique Account Number) is in place now. This UAN is a way to simplifying the process of collecting and managing the provident fund money for employees.
Background – The pain of the old EPF system
Before I start explaining, Let me go back a bit to help you understand a bit of background. Earlier when a person joined a new job for the first time, he got an EPF account opened by the employer where his provident fund money was deposited. For years, this money got accumulated in that EPF account.
Now when this person left his job and joined some other organization, the new employer again assigned him a new EPF account and started depositing his provident fund money in that account.
This way, if a person changed his job 5 times, he had 5 different EPF account numbers and in case he wanted to withdraw his EPF money, he had to apply at 5 different employers or transfer then one by one to his latest EPF account and this called for a big headache
This way, if a person changed his job at 5 different places, he had 5 EPF accounts and now he had to either withdraw money from his EPF accounts one by one, or they have to transfer the old EPF money to new EPF account.
But that was a big pain!.
Transferring your old EPF money to new EPF meant filling up the forms, then EPFO department sent to your old employer to get their signatures and if they denied or didn’t exist at all (if they closed down), then things would fall apart and now you were stuck with no information, no proper status and no idea what you need to do.
Calling EPFO department or emailing them didn’t work most of the times, and a lot of people just let their old EPF account exist and didn’t do anything, because of the sheer amount of uncertainty and ambiguity. This whole system was raw, old and not friendly for the employees at all.
Things have changed now quite a bit after UAN has been introduced and most of the pain points have been addressed. Let me now share some critical points about UAN or Universal Account Number as it’s called.
What is UAN?
In simple words, UAN is a 12 digit single account number which will be linked to your provided fund money. Now you don’t need to worry about different EPF accounts and then transfer them when you join a new job. Now
each employer will just give you a member id, and all those member ids will be linked with the same UAN. Even the employee’s having EPF under private trusts will be assigned the UAN.
This is the new system and will be applicable now for your current and future employment. Any EPF account you had before this, sadly will not be handled in this system. You will have to manually deal with old EPF accounts, for anything new will now be under UAN. The image below clearly shows the situation now and then.
3 Steps of obtaining and activating your UAN?
Below there are steps to be followed if you want to get your UAN and activate it.
Step 1 – Get the UAN from your Employer
The first step is to ask your employer for your UAN. EPFO department has already allotted most of the UAN (4.2 crores as the last count) and communicated it with employers. So most probably your employer must have shared your UAN number to you.
If your employer has not yet shared it with you. You can still validate if your UAN has been issued or not. For that, you need to follow the steps below
- Go to https://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/check_uan_status.php
- Choose your State and Office jurisdiction for EPF
- Enter your Establishment Code and EPF account number
Then click on the “Check Status” button and it will show a message saying “UAN is activated” in case it’s already activated by EPFO department. Once you see that message, then check it with your employer. Below screenshot gives you an idea about how to do it.
So like this, you can first verify if your UAN is allocated or not against your EPF. Also, note that UAN is to be allotted to only contributing members whose accounts are active. All the dormant/inactive account is going to get closed.
So if you have 3 EPF account, out of which 2 are old and dormant, please check the status using your current EPF account number which is active.
Step 2 – Activate the UAN
The next step is to activate your UAN. For that, you need to follow the steps below
- https://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/uan_reg_form.php
- Enter your UAN, mobile number and EPF account details
- Get authorization PIN on your mobile
- Submit PIN and activate your UAN
- Then generate your login/password and registration is complete.
Step 3 – Update your KYC details
After that, you should log in to UAN portal with your username and password and once you enter the portal, you will see many options like for downloading passbook, downloading UAN card, and editing your details. Apart from that, you will see an option to Edit your KYC Details.
Following are the documents which can be used for KYC. You need to upload a scanned copy of any one document
- National Population Register
- AADHAR Card
- Permanent Account Number
- Bank Account Number
- Passport
- Driving License
- Election Card
- Ration Card
Below you can see an example of how it looks when you choose PAN as an option.
Special Benefits of UAN
Let us now see some of the benefits of UAN compared to the old EPF system. Some changes in UAN were really required from last many years (even decades). Let’s see them one by one.
Benefit #1- Communication directly between employee and EPFO
The best thing about UAN is that now the communication can happen directly with EPFO and Employee. Earlier the employer was in between employee and EPFO for most of the things, especially for withdrawals and transfer of EPF.
Your employer had to sign the documents from their side, now this will not happen. The employer will now act like a depositor in your account and nothing else.
Benefit #2- UAN will remain same throughout the career
The best part is that Universal account number is going to be same throughout your whole career. Each time you change your job, all you need to do is provide your UAN to your new employer and he will tag the member id they create for you to that same UAN.
Note that your overall career moves will be recorded at one place because your UAN is nothing but a central database of all your employers and your past employment, but this will only be visible to the employee and no one else.
Benefit #3- Sms notifications when your Provident Fund is deposited
Now each month, when your employer deposits your provident fund money, you will directly get an SMS notification informing you about it. This is really great because now you know if your employer is actually depositing the money with EPFO or not.
This will be exactly like you get notifications from your bank when your account is credited with salary. This is especially nice because in past there have been cases where the employer didn’t deposit the EPF money for years and months and employee came to know about it much later and then they had to lose their hard earned money
Benefit #4- Update your KYC at one place
Now you just have one single window where you can update your address, mobile, email and other KYC details in case they change in future. A lot of issues happened in the earlier model where the same person had a different address and contact details with different employers and that created issues while withdrawal and transfers.
Benefit #5- Transfer of your Provident fund money automatically
Now the transfer of EPF is very simple. When you join a new job, you just need to furnish your UAN number to your employer and automatically within 1-2 months, your provident fund money will be transferred. In a way, it just has to get linked to your UAN
Benefit #6- Extremely friendly process for EPF withdrawal or Applying for Loan
This is still in process and can take up more than 6 months to a year, but once it’s complete, then the process for withdrawal and loan will be super fast and simple. You might not be aware that you can withdraw from your EPF for important events in life like marriage, buying a house, or medical emergency subject to some rules and restrictions.
Once UAN system is fully functional, you then just need to fill up a form and provide your fingerprint to a biometric reader and once things are matched, the amount will be transferred to your registered bank account within an hour.
This used to take months and years earlier. I am not sure if in reality, it would be as simple and fast, as they claim – but still, things are bound to get simple and fast.
Conclusion
Make sure your UAN is activated and you have uploaded the KYC document. If you have any other queries regarding UAN, please share it with us and we will try to find out the answer.

Hi,
I joined new organization recently and my UAN activated with me previous org. Now I just received a sms alert saying that PF transfer claim Form 13 submitted and in under process. But I did not initiate any such thing.
Can you please explain me whether this is happened due to UAN has two member id now and the new member id will have the amount from old member id (i.e PF account) and this is automatic process.
Otherwise if it is any fraudulent case then what action I need to take?
Regards,
Dhruba Dutta
Hi DhrubaDutta
I understand your worry . But there is no issue . As you have mentioned you have changed your organisation. So when you change your organisation your epf account get transferred to your new organisation. That is only done to keep your fund in one account only. It Not a fraudulent activity in your account.
Hi i had applied for my withdrawal after 6o days of my resignation and recently joined a new company. When i call PF office i have been told that the amount has been settled to the pf office account linked to my UAN with my new org. I had not asked or initiated for transfer of my PF with my new PF. Could you let me know what exactly the issue here is and how to proceed.

Hello Sir
I was planning to withdraw PF using the UAN. I have PAN number, account number has been verified by employer in the UAN website but i dont have Aadhar card. So i was wondering if it is mandatory to have Aadhar card for PF withdrawal using the form 19, 10-c and form -31.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks
Prafulla
No , if you are withdrawing offline, adhaar is not mandatory
Hi, I transferred my PF amount from previous two employers to the current PF account of current company using UAN. But now I am looking to withdraw PF amount for my marriage. Since UAN is linked to current PF account, do I need to get approval from current employer for PF withdrawal or directly I can claim for it without seeking their approval?
You can claim it directly, but the approval process will happen by EPFO (not employer)
Is DOE or date of leaving is neccessory to update for withdraw the EPF amount.
Or member can update DOE? If yes then how?
Plz help me about this topic

Hi,
Mine is bit confusing case for me. Lets call my Ex employer A and current employer B.
So I was working with employer A earlier. I got my first EPF account of my career with employer A, I worked there from Dec 2014 to Jan 2016. Employer A never bothered to generate UAN number for me while I was there.
In April 2016 I joined Employer B. Since I didn’t had any UAN with me, I never gave any UAN to B. So Employer B went ahead and opened my EPF account with their own Trust. When I contacted the EPF team of B, they told me my UAN can’t be generated, since the EPF lies with Trust.
Since I wanted to get update on my old EPF (balance etc) few days back (last week) I contacted Employer A and asked them to generate my UAN. So employer A accepted my request generate UAN today and they are working on it.
Now is funny part, while I checked our SAP portal today, I saw that Emp B have already generated my UAN. So I went and activated UAN. Please note that I activated my UAN with the pension number I got from Emp B (not the EPF no, mind it. Since EPF number doesn’t match on EPF site records). I can now login intp UAN portal and whenever I try to download passbook, it says to me:- Passbook not available as pertain to exempted establishment (i.e. Trust). This is ok and expected.
Thing is, when I tried to list previous member ID and put EPF account that I had with Emp A, I got exception like:-
Name against member ID entered by you does not match. Kindly contact to concerned EPFO office. (Here is screenshot for same: https://snag.gy/XNK0VD.jpg)
Having said this, I have few questions
1) How do I link or list my old EPF account under the current UAN I got. Do I need to tell my current employer to do it for me?
2) Will uploading KYC document like PAN will enable to list/link old EPF acccount under this UAN? If yes, how much time do I need to wait before uploaded document is approved?
3) What will happen with Emp A UAN generation attempt? Should I ask them not to proceed with UAN generation request?
4) With Emp B where can I see my pension account balance? (this account is getting credit 8.3% of employer contribution amount).
Sorry for long querry, but I guess there is so much confusion with this EPF and UAN.

Sorry , but please repost your query in brief !

Hi Manish,

They have not used middle name. Incase i transfer my PF from previous to current employer will it get rejected due to this middle name initial issue. Both PF are linked to my UAN and validated by my organizations.
Thanks in advance for your response.

I have purchased a Flat on me and my wife’s name . Would like to withdraw money from EPF to make the last 2 payments to the Builder . My UAN is already activated my bank account and PAN details updated . Only Aadhar card is remaining . Already applied for it . How much time does it take for the Aadhar card to be completely approved in the UAN portal, so that I can proceed with the withdrawl of money without any Employer’s intervention .

PLZ HELP
1. I dont have answer to that right now. I think its better to let them create new UAN

Hi, I have withdrawn my PF from my last company and I have UAN no as well. Now my new company is asking for my UAN no so my question is will it work my last company UAN no or I have to go for new ?
An employee is supposed to have just one UAN only, so give the old UAN only !
My current employer says he has linked my current Pf to my UAN, but I can’t find it in my UAN account, it’s been a year I’m after this, he says I have to transfer my previous Pf to current Pf , but I don’t want to transfer th money I want keep them separate in Pf because I might withdraw it, he says it’s because of not transferring im not able to see current Pf balance in th UAN, now his time has changed he is threatening to transfer th money, which sounds something wrong, I can’t find th Pf linked to my UAN. In this article I read one can keep more than one account linked to UAN if it’s in one name I can’t figure out what’s happening please help me with this
He is correct here. You will not see it under UAN unless you transfer it.
So dont transfer, let it be there like that, Hte only problem is that after 3 yrs of inactivity,it will loose getting interest part.
Because i saw the option that it will get automatically transferred to current PF, I later checked so it was found that he has not linked my current account to my UAN, now I can see both my Previous and current account in my UAN without transfer. and cant access the passbook to know the details
Transfer automatically ?
Why will it get transferred automatically ? It will happen only when you start the process. Fill up the transfer form for that

2. Thats not easy . There is a lot of documentation involved in that case
3. Yes.

Hi,
My wife was working in an IT company before she joined higher studies. She left the company without following the normal process, so company didn’t provide her any relieving letter.. She didn’t join any new company after that. It’s been almost 2 two years since she left the company and just recently checked her PF account and found that there is a small amount available..
She has a valid UAN and her Bank account and PAN card is linked to the account.
Can she withdraw that amount without any hurdles like Employer signature or something else..
Sincerely,
Rajiv
this space is still fuzzy . She can try to withdraw and see what happens when she tries that. But anyways she can apply for PF withdrawal offline !

1. Is it advisable to withdraw my PF now? If no what are the drawbacks?
2. How to withdraw my PF using the new method of UAN form?
1. Its advisable to withdraw incase you need money in near future. After 3 yrs of inactivity, anyways it will stop earning interest and once you put your papers for withdrawal, it will take many months to get the process done
2.That will be very complicated for you as now you are not into job . I suggest putting the physical form 19 + 10C to EPFO department
Hi, I am unemployed since 6 May 2016 so can I apply my PF through my own now?
Yes you can
I have one UAN No. with my 3 PF accounts linked to it. If I have to withdraw all 3 PF amounts, will have to file separate PF withdrawal application or only one will suffice. If one will suffice, then how 3 different employers will sign one application.
You need to file 3 separate one !
Hello,
My UAN was created by my previous organization. I have activated the UAN and able to see the passbook as well. I left the job and withdrawn the PF from previous organization. Now I have joined new organization. They have alloted me a new PF account but it is not linked to my UAN. Now how can I link my new PF account to my UAN?
please help.
Provide them your old UAN number, they will update the EPF account in that!
hi,
can anyone here tell me if same kyc can be used for 2 different uan belonging to same person?
No
my previous employer have already used pan no for my uan 1.
so that means i cannot use pan number for uan 2?
but i have read people have same pan for 2 uan..
so i just need to confirm it from your end,as you are much more knowledgable on this issue?
Hi Arya
Yes, I know this issue, but looks like I have not encountered this myself.
so you think similar pan number will create a duplicate issue?
i have read people asking similar questions about a month back…if they could kindly tell abouth the situation ,it would be of great help to others.
Yes
i was uploaded my kyc pan number in uan portal but the process showing pending even after 7 days. i was resigned my job 2months back. so now who will verify my kyc pan details employer or epf organization pls clarify sir..without pan update pf office people not giving my amount.
You can do an offline withdrawal
Hi Manish,
I worked with X company for almost 3 years where I was alloted a UAN. When I joined Y company , they have alloted another UAN. I left Y company also more than a year ago and have started my own business. Now I wish to withdraw my pf. Will there be any problem in pf withdrawal for having two UAN?
Thanks in advance. Awaiting for your reply.
I have worked with many organizations and out of them I have withdrawn the PF from 2 organizations. Others I am sure there will not be any PF left and I do not need it. Currently working with Vodafone and HR is asking for it. Last organization I have worked with for 3 years, I have withdrawn my PF. Do I have to contact last Employer and get UAN OR I do not need it? Will my Current Employer will create new UAN?
I didnt get what HR is asking for ?
i gave uploaded KYC but still showing pending status , Let me know when i uploaded KYC update my previous employer will get notification or i have to contact them manually to get it approve?
You need to contact them manually !

hi ravi,
can you please tell me if you have same kyc for the 2 uan’s that you have got?
Hello, I didnt get any support from my previous employer (X) regarding PF. So I created my UAN no. on my own. How can I withdraw my PF now. I left that organisation in sep’15. After that I have joined elsewhere (Y) but have taken a sabbatical this month and resigned for completion of a course. I want to claim a withdrawal from both the organisations (X & Y). Furthermore my F&F settlement has been held back my employer X for nearly 9 months now, claiming pending payments from a project client I was working on though the approval for the projects were given my the senior management only who were equally involved in the project too. I believe this is just a case of harassment. Kindly help out and advise.
EPF money cant be blocked for any reason . Kindly complain with EPFO on this matter.
Thx for ur input
Hi Manish,

Can I continue the old UAN NO. at my new office ?If yes shall I get my old pf amount transfer to new pf account? Is there any formality I have to do at my old office or directly I can update my UAN NO at new office?
You just have to give your old UAN to your new employer ! , thats all
Hi Manish,

Hi srinivas

Manish
Dear Manish
1 Brief details :
a. I opted for VRS from a company –A, after 29 years of service, at the age of 52d withdrew all PF and opted for Reduced Pension (very small amount) which I have been getting till now.
b. Then I joined another company, say Company – B. Due to sheer ignorance I did not inform Company- B about that’ small “ Reduced EPS pension.
c. At the age of 60 after 7 years 11 months of service I retired from Company B on 31-12-2014
d. For that entire period of service, the Company B had deposited EPF ( Employer & Employee ) and also Pension Contribution into my EPF Account . There was No noncontributory service period .
e. However it was only for 6 years till I reached 58 years the Pension contributions were made.
f. After retirement on 31-12-2014 till now 28-05-16 I am not employed in any organization with PF contribution.
g. It was only after retirement I came to to know about UAN got myself registered . I found that many of the details were already there except KYC & date of my Exit . Hence I uploaded my KYC docs and got it approved by the company B.
2 Here are queries
a. I am confused about the terminology (jargon) called ‘Superannuation and Retirement “What I knew is only this that ” I had to retire from company at the age of 60 on 31-12-2014 since that was the retirement age fixed by them.” Pl let me the difference between Retirement and Superannuation in relation to Form 19 –UAN and Form 10-c-UAN.
Can my this “exit of my service ” be called “Superannuation “?
b. EPF office informed that the company B had not filled up the Date of Exit and Reason for Exit. Is it mandatory on their part of Company – B , to login and enter those details . My case that should be Date of Exit from EPF – 31/12/2014, Date of Exit from EPS – 31/12/2012 & Reason for Leaving Service “S” (abbr ” Superannuation). Pl conrim.
Note: After 31-12-2014 ( deposited in Jan 2015 ) there is no contribution into my Account.
c. If they do not enter the above mentioned dates & details ( DOE & Reason ), under the present position , where I have UAN membership ,with approved KYC, UAN Pass Book , at the same time without any details of previous employer i.e Company – A and without details of Date of Exits & Reason for Exit from Company B, can I withdraw PF & EPS using Form- 19 UAN & Form 10-C UAN ? .
I want to withdraw EPF & EPS only after 36 months in 31-12-2017 to get interest.
d. Will I get interest for Pension Contribution since I am not eligible for Pension ( Total 6 years of contribution & 7 years 11 months service ). Note I am not using Form 10-D, but 10-c only .
Looking forward your reply to my queries
ask question in short please

Vinod
Hi…. As per the rules of EPFO members are eligible for withdrawal of PF and EPS scheme when they are being unemployed for 2 Months. Since you have left the job and joined another in same month keeping the same UAN, this will show the EPF office that your employment gap is not eligible for withdrawal.
Yes, but only if you are unemployed, Otherwise you will have to transfer it to the current one !

Thanks,

No , you can withdraw it, but then you can always transfer the amount to another one !

Thanks for your response. you meant to say that I can’t close the PF account which was created by my previous company, but I can withdraw all the money from that account . Am i right? Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks,

You can withdraw only if you are unemployed. else you can only transfer it to your new EPF
I worked in a private company for 6 months. i have a query regarding UAN. i’ll be switching job to another company without showing my past experience since i will not get NOC & Full and Final settlement . the past employer already applied for UAN and i have UAN also. is it possible to create a new UAN Number with the new employer. if it is possible, will the new employer come to know about my past experience using my PAN. please guide how can i get out of this situation. Please give me the response
UAN is nothing but a central database of all your employers and your past employment, but this will only be visible to employee and no one else.
The new employer will create UAN for you if you show yourself as a Fresher. They will not come to you about your past employment
Manish
Thanks for replying.
But i’m not a fresher and already i have a PF Number & UAN number.
is it possible, will the new employer come to know about my past experience using my PAN when they want to create a new PF account. ? ? ?
I have two UAN numbers with the same PAN, which one i have to use please help me.

No , before UAN came into picture, all the EPF account before that has to be withdrawn manually !
Hi, I have UAN Number. I moved to another Company and i withdrwan the EPF money. My new PF was not linked to the UAN. When asked the Employer i came to know that once you withdraw the money u can not link the PF to UAN. Now my Employer opened another UAN for me. Not sure what to do now. Please advise me.
Now better use the new UAN only !
I heard that the PF department has made Aadhaar Card mandatory KYC document to upload with respect to our PF account. Without Aadhaar we can’t withdraw/do any other transaction with your PF account. Please let me know if it is mandatory or not ?
No I dont think so its mandatory . Where do you read it ?

Yes, when you join your new employer then give a UAN to him that time ..
Sir i checked my passbook Through EPFO app there is showing 900 rs Employee share and 275rs employer share then is there any amount transfer in pention account is apart of it or in it
It might be the old amounts.
I GOT THE UAN NO. 100164523606 FOR MEMBER ID MRNOI00133290000005106 & WORKED FROM 02-01-2012 TO 08-01-2014 AFTER LEAVING THE JOB I WITHDRAW THE AMOUNT, KYC WAS UPDATED BY EMPLOYER.
THEN I JOINED A NEW FIRM IN 12-01-2015 AND GOT A MEMBER ID MRNOI00133290000005607 I HAD GIVEN THE SAME UAN NO TO UPDATE, I LEFT FROM THIS FIRM ON 31-12-2015 AND CURRENTLY NOT WORKING ANYWHERE, NOW I WANT TO WITHDRAW THE MONEY BUT MY CURRENT MEMBER ID IS NOT UPDATED IN UAN NO AS VERIFICATION STATUS SHOWS : “Confirmed by employer. Member-ID linked subject to verification by EPFO” AND WHEN I CHECKED THE STATUS FOR UAN NO FOR THIS MEMBER ID IT SHOWS : “Request for UAN for this Member Id MRNOI00275540000001183 is already under process.(through ECR)”
KINDLY SUGGEST ME HOW TO LINK THE MEMBER ID TO UAN NO SO THAT I CAN GET KYC DETAIL TO WITHDRAWL MY PF AMOUNT AS IT IS VERY URGENT FOR ME NOWDAYS.
SEEKING FOR YOUR HELP AND EARLY ACTION/RESPONSE IN THIS REGARD.

Hi manish bhai it is sorry to say the in almost all queries you are suggesting RTI route.I think EPF has a fast and transparent grievance redressel mechanisam .Any queries and complaints either by the Member or the employer can ask to the EPFO via EPIGMS ..it will resolve the the issues very fast .
Yes, but a lot of EPF issues are such that one cant answer that if the issue gets complicated, one has to find out by RTI only. I am also limited in my knowledge at times.

The EPFO site clearly shows: “that this facility available for only active members (contribution received through ECR for the wage month October 2013 onwards) would be able to register themselves.”
I was an active member only till Feb’12.
So all this new development is prospective and not retrospective?
So this applies only to employment on or after Oct-2013?
Hi Shiv
Thanks for asking your question. However we do not have answer to your question.
Manish
Thanks
If i change the company and want to withdraw all my PF money and not transfer it, is it possible.
Yes, possible if you are unemployed.
It is possible if we are joining in an organisation where EPF scheme is not adopted like Central Govt where contributory PF system prevails
Hi BYJU
I am not very clear of your query, can you please reask it with more simpler language ?
Hi Manish,
I have joined a new company 6 months back. They have linked the new PF account with my UAN. So Now I have 2 PF accounts in UAN. I have submitted the online transfer of PF amount from Previous Employer to Current Employer successfully today.
But today I saw something strange when I go to UANHelpDesk http://59.180.231.60:9091/UANHD/index.jsp and enter my UAN it shows “Invalid UAN.Please Check”.
But I am able to login to http://uanmembers.epfoservices.in using my UAN and password. I can see all the information of my 2 PF accounts.
One more thing is when I go to http://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/check_uan_status.php and check for my current PF account UAN status it shows –
“UAN already activated. Please provide following details to receive details on your registered mobile.”
and then when i put my mobile number and captcha and submitted it. it shows ” MEMBER ID AND MOBILE NUMBER MISMATCHED.
Do I need to activate the UAN again after linking the new PF account ?
Could you please advise on these please.
Thank you in advanced.

Santanu

What is RTI?
RTI is a law under which one can find some information legally from a govt organisation !
i hv chng the cmpy and my UAN no. is activated in last cmpy and same UAN no. Is continue in new cmpy but i want to transfer my pf account from old to currennt pf account so what i can do?????
You need to fill up the transfer form manually in that case !
Hi,
I have an activated UAN and want to withdraw pf but the problem is that I have closed that bank account which was linked to epfo. Now I have a new account and want to transfer that pf in that account itself. So what should I do to get my pf in my new bank account.

Hi – My wife has an active UAN number with her current employer. And UAN account is in her new name post marriage.
She also has two separate PF accounts from previous employers, that have NOT been transferred. We have the account numbers but they cannot be traced online. And both these accounts are in her Maiden name (pre-marriage)
Is there a way to get the amount from previous two PF accounts transferred to the current one? if yes, can you pls advise

Thanks for your response Manish.
What if we submit pf transfer forms for previous 2 employers with the current one. Would that work?
Yes, it should work . Now there is a process of transferring the PF online. I mean you can process the request online atleast. Search for it !
Hi Manish,
Nice Article!
Would like to point out one thing though. I switched jobs 6 months back and my new EPF account is linked to my UAN. However, the automatic transfer hasn’t happened.
After googling, I found this link: http://www.epfindia.com/site_docs/PDFs/UAN_PDFs/UAN_ForMembers/FAQ-Member-July2015.pdf
In Q.33, it states that auto-transfer claim happens on the new Employer approving the KYC claim.
Do you havr any idea on this?
I have activated UAN and also created username and password but now I forgot my password and also have changed my cell number hence unable to reset the password and login

No , UAn is not manadatory . You can always do a offline form filling and withdraw the EPF
I am having One UAN with two Menber ID linked in it.
Should I transfer the amount appearing in Old Member ID in the new one?
If not transferred should I get interest benefit for both the linked member ID?

You will get the interest for both till 3 yrs only. I think you should transfer the old EPF to new EPF

Good evening Sir/Madam,
I left my company ending of November. Today when I went to submit form 19 for PF withdrawal, I was asked to produce UAN. When I contacted my past employer, they denied of knowing such acronym. Later after much insistence, I am assured to contact them after a week. Does it take so much time to create a UAN? Why haven’t they created one whilst I was employed with them? What does MH/PUN/6 digit number followed by 4 digit number define? your portal asks for 7 digit and 3 digit number after MH/PUN/……./…
Hi Rahul,
i think u can see your UAN number from EPF website–http://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/check_uan_status.php fill all the details here exluding ext and see if any UAN alloted. if not then there is option to create UAN .
You need to check with with your current employer !
Hi, I have a UAN number provided by my organization. I have left the organization 3 months ago and now am nearly in the process of withdrawal of my pf amount. My question to you here is my UA N number already seems to be activated however I don’t get any sms when I try to reset my password I get an error message mismatch contact number. How do I go about? Also would I need the UAN number for pf withdrawal amount… Thanks awaiting a response will really be helpful
Hi Manish,
Thanks for the website and it is very informative…….Great work

Dear Manish,
Recently I have joined a new company and my new PF is already linked with the UAN. In my previous company I had uploaded KYC details and same had been approved by the previous employer, Now in my current company do I need to upload again KYC details against the new PF ID and same needs approval with the current employer or not.

Hi ..I left my previous organization on june 2008 and still didnt transfer/withdraw my PF money, currently im working with different organization and if i provide my UAN details to my previous employer..Will they transfer my PF money to my current EPF..Please help me on this.
Yes, if your UAN becomes active, then the transfer may happen
Saran, first of all create an account in OTCP ( online transfer claim portal) then you can proceed with transfer claim with your previous or present employer who is having a digital signature. Hope this will help you.
i want to work at 2 different establishment at a time, is it possible to operate with one uan?
Yes
My mother retired in September, 2015. She needs to transfer her EPF from previous employer (old EPF) to new employer which should have UAN no. If she is able to transfer her old EPF to new account can she withdraw all the money using new online system? Thanks.

Hi Kalpana
You need to keep in mind following points
1. You need to fill up form 19 and give it to EPFO to withdraw your EPF
2. You should reach out to your employer in case you dont have UAN number
3. To make any changes in your UAN details, you can either do it online yourself by making a login or ask your employer to do that.
4. IN case of any other queries, I suggest to do RTI with EPFO with your queries
Manish
Hi Team,
I left an organisation in Sept 2014 and i found out that company have not tagged my PF account to my UAN. Is there anyway i can tag that PF to my UAN? If not how the tagging should take place, can you please guide me.
same problem for me also. If you found any solution, please share with me.
No , it can only be done by the employer !. If you dont have the UAN tagged with PF, then you will have to process the withdrawal offline

Sir, My wife was working with HCL Noida, sec-21 from 2010 to 2011.
due to illness, she did not attend office and it was informed to her project lead by company mail id.
unfortunately, that project lead was travelling abord and forgotten to forward to HR section.
on third day, my wife got a mail that, no need to come to office from tomorrow and you have been terminated.
since then, she stopped going office.
Then HCL had sent so many letter to me, as I was the guardian and guaranteer, saying that
she has left the job within 1 year of appointment and I have to pay entire training cost of 1 lac 35K something.
Neither I replied nor I paid the amount. because HCL had seized HCL mail id of my wife and there was no means to retrieve any of the communication made. Therefore difficult to prove .
since then, She has not joined and organisation so far. That time UAN system was not there. We know only the EPF A/C no.
Please guide me, process to withdrawal of EPF in this case

Hi,
I left my previous Organization on May 09, 2015, and Joined a new organization in May 11, 2015. I shared my UAN number with the new organization. Now I want to withdraw my PF from the old organization. But read that now we cannot withdraw the PF if we join a new Organization within 2-3 months. So please advice is there is any way to withdraw the old PF.
Regards,
Anand Sri Bhattacharya
You can withdraw the old PF only by offline method as far as I know
On switching jobs, an employee can apply for transfer of money from the EPF account through a form which is filled by the employee and attested by the designated authority at the employer.
Withdrawal of money from the account in between two jobs is illegal and is permissible only under the following two circumstances:
>When a member is in between two jobs >If the member has been unable to find another job for over two months
Glad to know that BYJU ..

Hello Manish,
My wife worked for one company from Jan 2011 till August 2011 and one PF account was created, She then joined back the same company in January 2013 after a gap of 1.5 years but this time the company created a new PF account for her. She has now again taken a break after working for 2 and half years and does not intent to work anymore.
THE UAN is attached with the second PF account and now the problem is that the UAN portal is not allowing us to add the previous PF account number is the UAN portal and giving an error that the previous and current employer can not be same.
Now we are totally confused how to go about it and how can withdraw money from our first and second PF account.
Can you or BJYU provide some insight into this.
Will do an article on this asap ..
Hi Manish,
Your help on my earlier query would be really helpful. Can you share what exactly should i do as we are not able to start a withdrawal process.
Hi Piyush

Hi Manish,
I worked for an organisation from Jan’15 to May’15, and joined another from June’15.
My UAN was generated by my first organisation. Now I want my current organisation to use the same UAN. What should I do?
What if they have already requested for a new UAN, as I did not provide them with my first UAN?
I will do an article on this very soon .. please wait till then
Dear sir,
I activated the UAN online and downloading my passbook than its showing only 12000 in my PF account but my company deducting PF from my salary since last 2 year, when I coordinated in my office in account department than they told me that they are submitting my PF on monthly basis but they didn’t update on website that’s why your passbook showing less balance.
sir i am little bit confused in same and please let me know why this happening ? according to me balance should be more then 45000 in my PF account and but showing only 12000 ?
# when i ask for a closing my PF account in my office then they told me ” I can not close PF account entire life and this is minatory for employer. (Please let me know he is right and i cannot close my PF account or stop my pf deduction from my salary )
now a days my office deduction 3700 / month from my salary this is hug amount for me.
please suggest me that how can I get right status of PF balance and is any procedure to stop PF deduction from my salary?

EPF contribution is compulsory for those who are drawing salary (Basic +DA) up to 15000 and for others it is optional.But once it is deducted it should be continued until his retirement.minimum amount should be deducted is 12% of BAsic +DA and an equivalent amount should be contributed by the employer also.
Now a days EPF contribution is remitting through ECR(Electronic Challan cum return),which includes the employee wise details ,their EPF wages and contribution .
So in your case you can ask the copy of the ECR in which your amount is included and remitted from your joining.With the help of that u can calculate your contribution till date and file a complaint to EPF office also.

You can contact EPFO and get your EPF
Hi,
I have a UAN and activated it. My query is till now I have 15 months PF balance but when I check my PF balance in UAN site it is showing only 14 months balance instead of 15 months. When I check last month it shows 13 months balance instead of 14 months balance. How long it will take to update correct data or else I need to contact EPFO office directly?
U can file complaints through EPF website..
I raised a complaint on this through EPF site.
EPF PAYMENTS ARE BEING MADE ON 15 TH OF NEXT MONTH.ONCE THE PAYMENT IS BEING MADE IT WILL TAKE MINIMUM 10 DAYS TO GET UPDATE THE BALANCE IN E-PASS BOOK.HENCE I THINK NOW YOUR PASSBOOK IS SHOWING A BALANCE UP TO AUG i.e AUG PAID IN SEP
Here the problem is I joined in an org. on 1st week of July 2014 and I got pay slip for July 2014. But in E-Passbook July 2014 PF showing as Aug 2014 and Aug 2014 PF showing as Sep 2014 and so on it continued and missed recent pay slip.
Yeah …It is right.Because EPF passbook is updating based on the date of paymnet.Suppose July EPF contribution is remitting on or before 15th Aug .So the Passbook will show the July balance in Aug only.
Byju V
9440000484
If suppose I will resign the job in Nov 2014 and join in another org Dec 2014. in that case Nov 2014 PF will show as Dec 2014 under this employer and Dec 2014 PF for new employer will show as Jan 2015 under new employer?
YES
as you are remitting the amount in DEC only
Yes
It means the last month was not yet updated . Use RTI to check the exact status
Hello sir actually I have a problem which is I did a job in one organisation there they created a epf account and i have got a UAN number. Now I want to change my job and I want to join as a fresher over there is it possible to create a new epf account. I don’t want that last account. What should I do for that. Pls help me
one solution is available for this.It is better not to inform about your last EPF acount to your present employer.Let them open a new account.After getting the new account number you can transfer your old EPF account through your Previous employer by submitting Form 13 to EPFO
Yes it is possible , Just dont tell employer that you got old UAN
hi,
My query is, i have UAN no. now i want 2 change job and after 1 year i will join a new job so it’s possible to continue last UAN no.
after left job how much day valid UAN no.
Yes you can use the same UAN
Submit FORM 11 to the new employer after joining
I have read all the queries and am working in an organization dealing EPF .So as per my experience all are requested to activate your present EPF number with the latest UAN allotted and submit FORM 13 either to your present employer or previous employer foR verification and signature .Once signed submit the same to EPF office .To expedite the transfer better to submit the Form 13 to previous employer and get the signature .
Thanks for sharing that BYJU

HI Manish I think and as per my knowledge EPF number and EPS number both are same.Normally EPF number is giving my the Employer only which will act as both EPF and EPS number.UAN is linked with EPF number and not with EPS number if any.So Sharat’s doubt is not clear
Yes, the numbers are same
Hi,
I joined an organization and worked there for more than 2 years they allotted me a UAN no, but later on I have left this organization due to some reason and after 2 months I rejoined the same organization but instead of using the already allotted UAN no they created a new UAN no for me, now what should I do. Now finally I have joined a new organization and have given them the latest UAN allotted to me by my older organization when I joined the 2nd time. I want to know how can I transfer money between these two UAN. Please help.
I think you should leave the old UAN and use the new one
I have the UAN number and I logged into the UAN member portal few times.
Now I forgot my password and my contact number is also changed. I no longer have the access to the mobile number which is registered with my UAN so can not use the ‘Forgot Password’ functionality available on the UAN member portal. Can you please let me know how can I change my password ?

Hi Manish,
I have worked with 3 different companies till now and going to join 4th one in december. I have my UAN with me and uploaded AADHAAR as KYC but its still pending.
Also, I linked all my 3 PF accounts but I’m neither able to check my PF balance, nor I’m able to know if I can withdraw or transfer money to my account.
UAN was generated by my first employer and that too this year only. This whole process is very confusing and guidelines are not proper.
Can you help me here?
Thanks & Regards

Hi Rahul
Thanks for asking your question. However we do not have answer to your question.

I received UAN from my employer but it is showing some one’s details. How can I resolve this. Please help me
Hi divya
This is very specific query which you should follow up with the concerned authority only. We wont be able to comment on that
Manish
Divya you verify your UAN number with the one given by your employer.Now employee (Member) himself can get the UAN number by giving his EPF account number.

I got UAN number from my previous employer. I changed my job 6 months ago, they provide me new PF number. I don’t have any idea on whether they link this PF account to my existing UAN or not? How can i verify PF accounts related to UAN? Thanks in advance.

You can check the PF number in UAN site which is linked or not. If it is not linked to the UAN you can link the same through UAN site only.
Hello Manish Sir,
I have left my job and do not intend to work in near future, also I have worked for more than 5 years. And resigned in nov 2013. I have submitted my form 19, but the authorities are asking for UAN and KYC number.
Should they be asking me these details? A
KYC and UAN are new additions to the system .. You can tell them you didnt get it . Have you got it from your employer ?

Hi Manish,
I was working for a company for three years, and i resigned recently to take up a job abroad. I have an amount in my epf to be withdrawn.
I have an UAN number for my epf, which is activated and working.
Can i withdraw my epf without the employer’s sign on my forms? Reason being they are not co-operating with me because of the notice period issue when i left them.
Does having the UAN number enable you to withdraw your epf and pension money without the employers sign?
If you could kindly answer.
Regards
MOstly yes, because it directly goes to EPFO . However I am not sure if they will notify your employer or not. But anyways try it !
With the help of UAN No. can my current employer know about the details of my previous employer( like joining or leaving the previous company) ?
NO
I(Roshini) couldn’t activate my new UAN (Generated by Present Employer) in the portal because it is showing that my mobile number is already registered with another UAN (Generated by previous Employer). I want the New UAN to be activated.
Could you please check and help me with this.
I am writing a detailed article on this topic soon . Wait for it
Thank you Manish.
Please do notify me.
Thanks,

Hi Roshini,
UAN is generated only once which constant through out career. When you change job you can link the PF member id to the UAN through the employer. There is no need to activate new UAN.
Hi,
2 queries.
1) I have two PF account mapped to two different UAN (both UAN are active).
Now how can I bring it under 1 UAN, Already this question asked. But I need solution.

Check with your employer first . they have that information
I need to correct the spelling for my name in UAN database , my employer suggest i should complete registration first and then go for correction. But i am hesitant to tick the box stating “all above data are correct….. “, as it could lead to complication. What should i do go for registration or go for name change first. ?
I think your employer is right . THe updation is the next step . First go ahead with registration !

My Ex-employer has uploaded the wrong KYC document for Bank Number.And it’s showing under approved KYC listings.

2.Bank details registered in UAN portal will only be used for withdrawl purpose ?
I just wanted to know if bank details can’t be rectified then what will be the impact.
I think you can upload it, but approval will happen from employer side
Yes, bank will be used for withdrawal mainly !

You should have EPF account number with you first. Then you can apply for withdrawal. Ask your employer why is he not giving you yet ?

About a year back I joined a new company, the new company got my new PF account created.
The new company hasn’t allotted any UAN to me.
Around 2 months back I received my UAN from my previous organization.
I want to link my new PF account with the UAN that I have received. I have mailed the new company HR to link my new PF account with the UAN I received but I guess they are not aware how to get it done.
Please could you explain me how can it be done?
Can I myself do it through some portal without depending on HR? OR how should the HR get it done?
Any clues appreciated.

I think you will only get proper answer on this from your employer only !
I got UAN number from previous company. Do I need to transfer the PF money to from my previous company to new company ? My current employer already linked current EPF account number to UAN.
For older EPF , you will have to do it manually !
Thank you.

Hi,
I am working with a MNC and I have also activated my UAN no as per the above process few months back. I have also checked the KYC section and found that employer has already updated my Pan card, Aadhar card and Salary account details there but no document has been uploaded by them. Not sure but I think for that reason my KYC process still pending. Also I have checked the passbook, account details section but unable found my passbook for EPFO and “no records found” message is coming there. Could you please advice whether I have to contact anyone for this reason?
Hi Avik
Not very sure on this . UAN system is vast and not aware of rules at this level
Ok. Thanks for the reply
I joined the new company around 5 months back. Now my both the PF Accounts (PF Account of previous organization and current Org. ) are linked to UAN.
My last name in both the organizations are different (due to name change after marriage).
I wanted to transfer my PF to new Organization . Could you please guide me the process of transfer. Do I have to submit the name change certificate or marriage certificate etc. while applying for PF Transfer.
Yes, you might have to give the marriage certificate for the name change. Also note that as the EPF account were existing before UAN came into picture, you will have to transfer those EPF accounts in old manner by filling up the transfer forms and sending it to EPFO
Thanks Manish for such a wonderful article on UAN.
Hi All,
I have one doubt –
I have shifted job recently and yet to get my UAN from my present or previous employer. But I have EPF number from both the employer. In this case how I can transfer previous PF amount from earlier account to new PF account until I get UAN alloted? Can I follow “Online Transfer” facility.
Please suggest.
Thanks.
No , old EPF accounts existing before UAN came, has to be transfer the old way !
Sorry Manish, didn’t got your comment – “old way”. I think, as online transfer facility available to transfer so I can use to transfer old EPF amount to new EPF amount. Please help.
And yes, the old EPF account exists before UAN came.
As per my information, using UAN facility you can now transfer the money from old company to new company without doing any paper work , but that will be true only for those EPF accounts which were started after UAN facility. But if there is some EPF account which was there from last few years , then for that you will have to manually transfer it by filling up the form.
Manish
Thanks Manish for quick response.
But I think actually it is different. Even if a person doesn’t have UAN number, he/she can use online transfer facility to transfer amount from old company to new company. Since I have started online transfer facility without UAN and it is now pending with my previous employer for verification. Even on EPFO site for Online transfer it never ask for UAN to enter.
Please correct if its wrong.
I believe you are correct. I was not aware of the online transfer facility actually myself, hence I didnt comment on that. I have seen some readers referencing about it . You can check on that yourself. I have limited knowledge on online transfer facility.
Manish
I have worked with an organization for 3 years. After leaving the previous job, I got a new job in one month. Now I want to withdraw my PF for my personal use which I do not want to mention it. Is there any such facility where I can withdraw my PF though I got my new job in next month.

You can fill up the withdrawal form and send it to EPFO
Thanks for this information :
the issue i am facing is that : i have the UAN+PF number : but when i enter the information it did not work.
So i checked on this site :
https://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/check_uan_status.php
it informs me that the UAN number is not alloted (though it is) :
I am assuming i have to somehow link it through…
Any information provide is appreciated – looking forward to your opinion on this.

Hello Manish,
I have got my UAN number from my previous employer and do I need to activate it. The current company where I am working I have not been allotted UAN number, so what I want to know is how do link my current companys PF account to the UAN acccount.
Will I have to give the UAN no. which I got from my previous employer to my current employer and request them to link the current PF account to it and how much time will it get to linked or should I again wait for a new UAN no. to be allotted by my current employer.
Also how will my current employer stop the process of new UAN no. getting allotted from the current PF account
Giri
Even if you get TWO UAN , still only one of them will be active at one point .

Dear Sir
I have worked with an Organization for 3 months Feb-May 2014 and they have provided me Member ID.
Due to some reason, I have left the job(due to some reason) and get my entire PF debited from my earlier PF Account.
Now I am not aware of UAN nor my Former Employer told me and I am about to start new Job where I have not shown previous job details. Now when new Employer will open my PF Account is there any possibility that new Employer would get to know about previous Employment because of Seeding of any KYC like PAN Card which new Employer probably would use.
Please do reply.
No , employer wont come to know about past employment !
Hi Manish,
When I check my UAN status it shows “Your UAN is allotted for Member ID XXXXXX Kindly provide following further details for verification. The UAN details shall be sent on your mobile on SMS.”
After filling it shows your date of birth and Name did not match. What can be done with this problem.

Hello Sir,
I am facing an issue which make me anxious regarding fund accumulated in my old PF account and linking my new PF account with my UAN. I am describing the situation as much as I can below:
====================================================================================
I was working with a company till 2014, and was there for 4 years. I have my UAN linked with the PF account with this company.
I joined a new company few months back. I received a new PF account number from the news company. I provided my UAN number to the company and they are claiming that they linked my previous UAn with this new PF account as well.
Meanwhile, using http://memberclaims.epfoservices.in/, I claimed File transfer of my previous PF account to the new PF account and found that the file transfer is completed as per status by the EPFO concerned.
My question is, still now in the UAN portal (uanmembers.epfoservices.in), with my UAN, I can view only my previous PF account details (though it is showing that all the funds available there is now transferred to somewhere else!!!!). There is no trace of my new PF account linked in this UAN number till now.
I am a concerned as I can see my previous PF account is empty as the fund is transferred to somewhere else (should be to my new PF account!!), while there is no record of my new PF account in this UAN!!!
=====================================================================================
Please suggest me whether there is anything from my end I should do to
1. Link the new PF account with the UAN number
2. Check whether the funds in my previous PF account is actually transferred to the new PF account.
Thanks and regards,
Deb

Hi,
I have withdrawn my PF in this financial year. I have came across the following info in our office mail. But i could not get the clear picture of it. Can u please explain me. Here is the info.
1. Income Tax shall be deducted at source (TDS) at the time of withdrawal of the PF amount under following conditions :
• If the amount is withdrawn before 5 years of service
• The withdrawal amount is equal to or more than Rs. 30,000/-
• If PAN submitted – TDS will be deducted @ 10%
• If PAN is not submitted – TDS will be deducted @ the maximum marginal rate i.e. 34.608%
If your Withdrawal amount is more than 30k and your number of years of service is less than 5 yrs, then 10% of it will be deducted and paid to govt as your tax for that year.

Hi Manish,
Thanks for sharing this useful info. I am having some problem with my PF accounts. Some 3 months back I have joined a new company and claimed a PF transfer to my new account from old by claim attached by previous employer.
This is in process and may take some time. In the mean time I have resigned from my current organization as well. And I want to withdraw all my PF amount as I am in need of some money. But my concern is what if after 2 months while withdrawing my money the PF amount not tranfered from my old account?
Later say in future if I have joined some other company can I use the same UAN no there else I have to create another one by deactivating this one? My question is here after withdrawing my PF amount will my UAN still be active?
You can use the same UAN there . It does not need to be generated everytime you change the job

Hi Manish,
The article is very informative.
I have one doubt. In my previous organization, I have been given one UAN number.
and in my current company also updated to UAN. In this case, do i really need to apply for EPF transfer. Becoz in UAN portal, only previous company member ID is listed and not current one’s. I am in current company for 4 + months now.
Initially i have been told not to apply for transfer. But now they are telling to apply for transfer.
What is the exact process. Kindly provide info.
I think you still have to apply . Check with your employer on this . They have more clarity

I have a question here about UAN. My present employer has created 5 UAN account numbers for me as when ever my employer sends me to USA he creates a new PF number. when i have contacted the my employer for UAN number he has initially shared one UAN number which i have activated. Later on i have realized that UAN number provided by the employer was for my old account. but by this time i have activated the same with my present mobile number and now later on when i have obtained the UAN for the present active PF account i am not able to activate the same as my mobile number is already registered with another UAN number. I am not sure how to solve this issue. I have tried to call on the UAN helpline number: 1800 118005 but was never able to connect to the same.
can any one point me to any possible solution for this issue.

2. My both PF account is not linked properly under UAN. Then how to solve it.

First of all many thanks for such a good articles.each article is very previous. Please keep it up.
My que:
In last April-14, I transferred my PF amount to new EPF a/c opened by mu current employer through online mode where you need to submit he claim form to either of your employer. After that gradually my EPF amount was transferred within a month.
But EPS Column is still showing null. Means only EPF was transferred not the amount accumulated for pension plan. Here both the EPFO was same i.e. Ahmedabad I went there personally to ask about EPS Money. They said it will be appeared after the end of financial year i.e. after March 2015. Is that so?? They said even if its nit showing ni need to worry. As per your years of service, pension will be provided in future.is that so? If its like that then how much pension I will get?
Also at that time there was no any other form available to transfer pension part on OTCP EPF Portal.! same has happened with my friend.
Please guide what s Should we do.our present employer’s share in EPS is visible in EPF passbook. But my HR is clueless for how to get the EPS money of previous employer’s share.
Hi Abhishek Raval
You should take help of RTI now in this case ! .

Hi Manish,
Thanks for the article. One query – Assume that UAN has been generated and activated, what needs to be done for EPF accounts with older employers:
a. Is it possible to associate the UAN number with them?
b. Assuming yes, do we need to still request for EPF account transfer, or, once UAN is associated with older account, the funds will automatically get transferred ?
Thanks,
Ayush
To clarify – i am talking about existing PF accounts with older employees. I understand that in future once UAN number is given to new employer, the funds will get linked automatically.
Hi Ayush
For older employers you need to manually apply for transfer . It will not happen automatically !
Thanks Manish!
How do you track EPS from a previous employer.
I got the EPF transferred from my previous org (having a private trust) thru manual procedure. I can see the amount reflected against the UAN online.
However, cant see the EPS amount.
Does it get transferred automatically along with EPF ?
Hi Sachin
You should find out this from your employer only,because only they can comment on the exact status on this
