New Delhi. Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has given a big relief to EPF account holders. EPFO has extended the deadline for linking PF account and Universal Account Number (UAN) with Aadhaar number by three months (June 1 to September 1, 2021). It is noteworthy that earlier EPFO had fixed June 1 as the deadline for Aadhaar-UAN linking. So now you can link PF account with Aadhaar by following these easy steps.
Know why it is important to link PF account with Aadhaar
Linking of PF account with Aadhaar is mandatory under Section 142 of the Social Security Code. If your Aadhaar is not linked with your UAN, then your employer will not be able to deposit the monthly PF contribution in your EPF account. Also, until the linking is done, you will not be able to take a loan or withdraw from your EPF corpus.
