PF account holders should complete this work before September 1, otherwise your money will be stuck

If you are a member of the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO), the government body of the pension fund, then it is necessary to link your PF account with Aadhaar. Failure to do so may result in your PF amount getting stuck. On June 15, EPFO ​​had extended the last date for linking UAN with Aadhaar by three months. Now the deadline of September 1 is also close to complete this work. Under the new rule, it is necessary to verify the UN (UAN) i.e. Universal Account Number with Aadhaar.

According to media reports, an interest of 8.5 percent can come in the account of 6 crore PF account holders in this month. Explain that the Modi government has approved 8.5 percent interest for the financial year 2020-21. To take advantage of higher interest, it is necessary that your Aadhaar number is linked to UAN number.

Employees will not be able to do this work if they are not linked with Aadhaar

The EPFO ​​has directed all employers to get their employees' accounts linked with Aadhaar and verified by June 1, under Section 142 of the Social Security Code 2020. Otherwise, employees cannot file electronic challans or returns. In such a situation, the contribution of PF members can stop and the money of the employer will not be credited to the account of the employees. Therefore it is necessary to verify the UAN with Aadhaar.
