EPFO Alert- Any work related to Provident Fund is not possible without UAN. To withdraw or transfer money online, universal account number is necessary for everyone.



EPFO Alert: Withdrawing your EPF while changing jobs is not a good habit. From experts to big industry experts also consider it wrong. At the same time, the second mistake is that people also open a new account (UAN) as soon as they change the company. This means that people make a big mistake by not giving the Universal Account Number (UAN) number of the old office to the new company. After this your new UAN is generated. But, what about the previous account? Does that account get closed on its own?

Service history gets lapsed?

Even after having a UAN, in the event of a second UAN being generated, your fund process stops. If you want to transfer the old fund, then there will be a problem in that too. Also, if you withdraw funds from the old PF account and a new UAN is created in another place, then your service history may also lapse.

This means that you will not get the benefit of pension (EPS-Pension) or else the amount of pension deposited by your old company will not be added to the next account. Therefore it is necessary to merge both the UANs (How to merge UAN) or deactivate the old one. But, is it possible. Let’s know…


Block Old UAN

If there are two UANs, the existing company and EPFO ​​will have to give this information. EPFO may be informed at uanepf@epfindia.gov.in. In this, both the old and the new UAN number will have to be given. EPFO will cross verify both your UAN numbers. After verification, the old UAN number will be blocked by EPFO. After this, you can put a request to transfer the funds of the old account to the new one.

How will the transfer request happen?

Your UAN must be activated, linked with Aadhaar. Click on One Employee One EPF option on the EPFO ​​portal. Here you have to fill your registered mobile number, UAN number and company’s member ID. OTP has to be generated before filling it and submitting it. Enter the OTP in the given column. On submission, a new page will open, in the column given here, the details of whatever is the old EPF will have to be filled. Your transfer request will be generated.
