EPFO Permits UAN Generation Without Aadhar for Enrolment In EPS

EPFO has cited concerns of some employers in initial enrolment due to non-possession of Aadhar number of employees. This is in accordance with EPFO circular dated 26th March 2018. Hence, in order to avoid delay in remittance of contributions of new employees joining who do not possess Aadhar number, PF department has decided to provide an additional route for allotment of UAN for enrolment as member of Employees Pension Scheme, 1995. Below are the guidelines for the process:

1. Employers may apply to the RPFC for generating UAN for such employees.
2. RPFC will generate UAN based on the undertaking of such employees forwarded through the employer stating that he/she does not have Aadhar number for generation of UAN.
3. RPFC will also verify identity of such employees.
4. The UAN thus generated should be forwarded to Employers concerned to file ECR for such employees under intimation to the concerned employees about their UAN. Thus, PF Department is pushing for ease of compliance for employers and thereby ensuring that benefit is provided to members.
