If an employee does not disclose his old UAN number to the new organization while changing jobs or the old employer does not mention the exit date, then a new Universal Account Number is issued to such employee.
The new employer only asks you for the UAN number.
If you work and the Provident Fund money is deducted, then a Universal Account Number called UAN is given by the employer. It is of 12 digits and it is issued by EPFO. There is no change in the UAN number even after the employee changes his job.
If someone changes jobs, the new member identification number is issued by EPFO for that particular UAN but the Universal Account Number remains the same. In other words, the UAN remains the same even after changing the institution frequently, but the identification number is different for each institution. This is the reason that when you change jobs, the new employer only asks you for the UAN number.
Tell the employer the old UAN
If an employee does not disclose his old UAN number to the new organization while changing jobs or the old employer does not mention the exit date, then a new Universal Account Number is issued to such employee. If you have a problem with two UANs, solve it as soon as possible because it will not add the PF money of the old institution to your account as well as will not get the benefit of pension.
Wrong to have two UANs
According to the rule, two UANs for any employee is wrong. In such a situation, he will have to close the old account number and transfer the funds to the new UAN. Merging two different Universal Account Numbers has become quite easy. This work can be done online sitting at home.
