Aadhaar not mandatory for EPF but for your convenience
Live MintDo you or do you not need Aadhaar to open, maintain and exit your EPF account? PF authorities could insist for Aadhaar because in a circular, dated 22 June 2015, EPFO directed employers to seed the Aadhaar number—where the employee had the number—within one month of the employees getting their UAN. The EPFO official we spoke to said Aadhaar can be made mandatory for EPF members receiving government benefits either in the form of a pension scheme or under the Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana. “A part of the Employees’ Pension Scheme or EPS under the EPFO is paid by the government and as such we can insist on Aadhaar for KYC purposes from PF subscribers,” said the official. “In March this year EPFO allowed for EPF contributions even for those employees who didn’t have Aadhaar and consequently couldn’t get UAN.
