It is common that employees end up with having two UAN numbers. UAN is the unique number. Hence, having two UAN numbers or more than two is not allowed. How to merge or deactivate such multiple EPF UAN numbers?
Note–
# EPF launched a SINGLE form for EPF Withdrawal, EPF Advance withdrawal and EPS claim, where you can withdraw EPF without EMPLOYER SIGNATURE. Refer my latest post on the same at “EPF Composite Claim Form -Single form to withdraw EPF without employer“.
# EPF UAN Unified Portal-Now you can download EPF Passbook/UAN Card in a single portal instantly. Also, you can change your email and mobile number linked to your UAN. Refer the complete details at “How to download EPF Passbook and UAN Card online instantly?“.
What is EPF UAN number?
EPF Universal Account Number or EPF UAN is a unique number allotted by EPFO. The UAN will act as an umbrella for the multiple EPF accounts allotted to an employee by different companies he works. The main idea is to link multiple EPF numbers allotted to a single employee under single Universal Account Number. This will help the employee to view details of all the EPF accounts linked to it.
If an employee is already allotted Universal Account Number (UAN) then he is required to provide the same on joining the new company to enable the employer to in-turn mark the newly allotted EPF number to the already allotted Universal Identification Number (UAN).
Why two UAN numbers allotted?
As I said above, UAN number is unique to an employee. But due to some procedural errors or employee fault, there are many cases that two or more UAN numbers allotted to a single employee. There are two reasons to it.
# Employee will not share his existing UAN number– While joining the new company, employee hide his past EPF account details or UAN number. This may be due to some issues with past employer. Otherwise, he don’t want to show his past experience to the new employee.
This leads to the generation of new UAN by the new employer. Hence, such employees end up in holding two UAN numbers.
# Previous employer will not update the exit date– If your previous employer will not update the exit date or last working date from his organization, then the new company where you will join will automatically generate new UAN.
How to merge or deactivate two UAN numbers?
There are two ways to do it. One is a simple one but time-consuming. The recent one (updated by EPFO on 21st September, 2016) is very useful to resolve the issue. Hence, in this post, I will share you both the process.
# First Method-Employee has to immediately report the matter either to an employer OR to EPFO through email to uanepf@epfindia.gov.in by mentioning, both – current UAN and your previous UAN. After verification, the previous UAN allotted to you will be blocked and the current UAN will be kept active. Later, an employee will be required to submit the claim to get a transfer of service and fund to the current UAN.
# Second Method-This is purely automatic one and started to apply for all future procedures. I tried to explain this new method process flow in below image.
- The employee should be advised to apply for EPF transfer from previous EPF account to the new EPF account. This can be done ONLINE using OTCP portal of EPFO.
- The EPFO’s system would then automatically identify such cases where the EPF transfer has been effected from one EPF account to another and have two different UANs attached to these EPF accounts of the same employee. This is as said automatic one and will be processed on a periodic basis.
- All such identified old EPF UAN numbers, from which EPF transfer has been effected to EPF account having different EPF UAN (new EPF UAN), will be deactivated. After this, the old UAN numbers will cease to exist and are blocked for further use.
- This procedure of merging multiple UAN numbers will be carried out by EPFO on a periodic basis and can also be performed even when no requests have been received from its members.
- After this, employee previous EPF account will be linked to the new UAN.
- The employee will receive information about the deactivated status of his previous UAN by SMS to the registered mobile number. The employee will be requested to activate the new UAN (if it is not done) to get the updated status of his EPF account.
- Sometimes, there are chances that employee may have to receive some EPF arrears from his past employers, in such cases, since the system knows the new UAN against the deactivated UAN, the system would automatically populate the new UAN in the ECR (after punching the previous UAN or EPF number by the previous employer) and the statutory contribution by the employer against the arrears can be remitted against new UAN only.
As per above mentioned two methods, I feel the second method the best one. But the only thing you have to do is to request for EPF transfer. Rest of the process is an automatic one. Also, keep in mind that both UAN must have updated KYC details like mobile phone number or email id. This will actually leads to the receiving updates regularly.
Hope this information will be helpful to many. Let me know if you have any concerns.

Sir,
I have worked with 2 organisations, previous for 5 months & current for 4.5 years.
My new employer created new UAN.
So I applied for online PF Settlement & withdraw PF contribution from previous account.
After PF settelement, when I tried merging both accounts { EPFO member home -> Services -> One employee – One EPF account}, I got the message “Online claim request cannot be processed as :- Present employer has not made payment in your PF account.”
So now I have 3 questions
1) Can I withdraw pension contribution from previous account (5 months job)?
2) If can’t withdraw then how to deactivate previous UAN & how much time it will take?
3) Can I link Aadhar card with existing UAN? ( It’s already linked with previous UAN)
Pls Help
I am having two UAN numbers, PF amount is successfully transferred from old UAN to New UAN. But service history of OLD UAN is not updated in NEW UAN.
As when I transferred EPF from the old UAN to the new UAN, the Whole PF amount is transferred but not EPS amount. And If service history will not be updated then how to know my EPS history?
I am contributing to EPS for more than 12years, but the current UAN shows only 6+years of service history (i.e. Of present employer). Am I now eligible for getting a pension?
Dear Utkarsh,
Your EPS will follow the EPF. If you still have doubt, then raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell.
I have not shown my 1st work experience in my present company. But i have shown only the recent work experience. I have two uan. The 1st work experience is in another uan and my present company is in another uan.. So when I transfer my 1st company pf to my present company uan, will my present company come to know about the 1st work experience. Will anything happen to my present job? Please answer.
Dear Deep,
Hard to say as I am not an expert in employers’ case.
Hello Sir,
I have 2 UAN accounts and I have left the jobs and left India. I tried transferring old account to the new one but that transfer failed due to some bank account verification failure, which I corrected. Now the transfer is on hold and I am unable to re-initiate the transfer. Epf grievances is not responding. Can i initiate separate withdrawal from both the accounts?
Dear Anu,
Yes, you can try withdrawing separately.
The bank account linked with this account is also linked with the following UANs : 100157XXXXXX, 100613XXXXXX (with different demographic details). If these UANs are yours, then please get the basic details corrected in your other UANs and link them with your Aadhar for transfer of your accounts to the present one. If this bank account is not yours then please add your correct bank account and get it approved by the employer to avail online claim facility.
What shld i do now
Dear Srinivas,
It is clearly mentioned what action you have to take.
I am still confused what action needs to be taken as i also got same error and my employer is unable to help me out and i am stuck.
Dear MR,
Approach the regional EPFO.
Hi Sir,
I have also received the same message when I am claiming my PF amount.
(The bank account linked with this account is also linked with the following UANs : 10025156XXXX (with different demographic details). If these UANs are yours, then please get the basic details corrected in your other UANs and link them with your Aadhar for transfer of your accounts to the present one. If this bank account is not yours then please add your correct bank account and get it approved by the employer to avail online claim facility.)
Can you please brief us what action to be taken from my end.
Dear Naresh,

Hi sir, trying to request transfer of old uan into new uah but the get otp option is not enabled. Any thoughts on why?
Dear Isha,
Try after a day or two.
Hello Sir , i am also having two UANs , one is very old and it is not adhar veriied also and it has only service history of 2 months . my new uan is verified and has service history of 6 years. I do not want to link these UANs as i dont claim the experience anywhere from first one . So will there be any problem later while claiming my new UAN amount . ?
Why i cant merg two UAN is that the ate of exit in my old uan is 24 november and date of joining in my new uan is 28 october , so it will give error if i merge thats why i dont want to merge .
please suggest what should i do ?
Dear Shubham,
“So will there be any problem later while claiming my new UAN amount?”-NO.
Dear sir,
The issue I am facing is the bank account in my old and new UAN accounts is same.
So under claims section, I am getting error “BAnk account linked to 2 UANs”.
If I give new bank account detail in my new UAN, will this resolve the issue?
Please suggest.
Dear Shubham,
I hope so.

My previous employer not updated my exist date on PF portal.

Dear Anil,
I think YES.
Hi Sir , I have reasigned and hold a active UAN with the exempted company. Can i request for a new UAN to the new unexempted company since i want to withdraw my PF and pension from the old exempted company.
Dear Prithviraj,
If you not share old UAN, then obviously they create new one. The decision is left with you.
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your complete blog
Me too having two UAN nubers and from old uan to new UAN PF amount transferred successfully but service history is not transfered. I requested my employer to merge my two uans and they suggested that directly contact with EPFO office along with I have raised request in grivence cell online and sent mail to epfo, till now service history is not transferred.
1. Am I need to visit epfo office?
2. Old UAN having service history 6years and new UAN having 2.8 years if I withdraw PF advance for house buying/construction will it be consider for TDS? Or they will check in Passbook for all PF Account history or will they check EPS history
3.How to know my EPS history? As when I transferred EPF from old to newUAN PF amount transferred but not EPS amonut
Thanks in advance
Rajesh
Dear Rajesh,
As your transfer completed already, I don’t think you no need to take any action. EPFO will update the service history. Don’t worry.
Regarding the point -2 about withdrawal Advance PF amount for housing/construction
How the EPFO will calculate the total service history as i have 2 UANs old – 6years and new one 2.8 years.
Dear Rajesh,
If both the UANs are merged, then they consider both the EPF accounts service history.
Merged means amount transfer done from one UAN PF account to new UAN Pf account ?
For me it is transferred from Old UAN PF account to new UAN PF account.
And no Service history is linked to new UAN account
Dear Rajesh,
Then too they consider both the EPF details and consider for eligibility.
Till this point same case for me also. And portal is not enabling the option to select House Construction when I try to raise a PF advance request.
I have raised claim from my previous exempted company to new Non-Exempted company and UAN numbers are different. I can see claim is settled but the amount shown is 0. Could you please suggest on this.
Dear Karun,
Better to wait.
Hi sir I have two UAN and I had left both the jobs and currently i am a jobless person.
2nd UAN is active and all details are verified Doj DOE is updated

Now I got job in another company i dont want to share my old employment details with them so that they will create a new uan for me is there any chances to know my previous employment details to current company while creating new uan number plz give me your answer this will be very helpful to me thank you
Dear Raja,
It is hard to say.
Hi Sir, I have two UAN numbers from two different employer, while merging online it is showing error if data mismatch, as I think reason is due to my old employer not mentioned date of exit. Plz. Help me understand on below points :
# Can I withdraw old UAN amount.
# Can I go physically to regional office to request merger and ist possible ?
# If I do not withdraw now , can I withdraw at the time of retirement.
Dear Basant,
The single solution for all your problems is making your last employer to enter the exit date.
Sir ,I have two uan number, I transferred successfully from previous to current uan successfully, but the service history of the first uan is not shown in the current uan, Should I ask EPFO to deactivate my previous uan and link to current uan. Please advise me.

N as per AADHAR there is name spelling mistake in older one should I get the money from my previous pf to new by just mailing to epfo on their mailid. or should go for the spelling correction plz suggest..
Dear Prameshwar,
The best idea is to request for both UAN and then proceed for merger.

Hi Basavaraj,

In Jan 2015 I joined an organization named Landesa in Delhi, they have opened my PF account, due to some personal reason i left the organization in June 2015 at the time of leaving they did not inform me my UAN number, the concern person said your UAN is not generated you can withdraw money directly through PF number, but at that time i did not withdraw my PF money. In between i went out of India for two years and back in dec 2017. In jan 2018 i joined another org, they have generated my UAN and new PF account. Few days back I got a message from Landesa about withdrawal of PF money as organization is closing down its operation from India. They have given me my PF account details with UAN number. Now I have two UAN numbers. Sir please tell me what should I do. I don’t wand to lose money.

When joined another company, my employer got me a new UAN number and now I have two uan numbers.
Finally I have retired from the Last company as my age is now 58.
Kindly explain how to merge the old uan with current uan?
Dear Ajay,
You have to request the EPFO for merger (either through your current employer or by visiting regional EPFO).

Dear Sandeep,
Better you request EPFO through your employer for the merger of the both UAN.
Hi Sir,
My PF amount has been transfered from old UAN to new UAN. but service history is not getting merged. It will affect the pension amount on retirement. Please help.
Dear Nandkishore,
Your EPS will never get transferred. They will just update your service records. Hence, you no need to worry.
Hi Basavaraj,
I understood that EPS would never be transferred, but in new UAN: service history is showing only present employer records, meaning Service history from old UAN was never added up. This seems to be a problem for me, since I will miss out on 3 years of service from my prev. company. Can you please suggest what can be done to accommodate same and add it up in service history.
Regards,
Amit
Dear Amit,
As far as my knowledge, if your EPF get transferred, then EPS automatically get updated the service records. However, if you have a doubt, then better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Thanks Basavaraj for your valuable input.
Hello Amit
I have same issue, did your issue resolved ?
Hi Sir,
I had a UAN (linked with adhaar) to which 2 EPFs were linked. Later, because I was jobless, I took my PF out and deactivated my UAN. Now, when I will join a new company in the future:
1. Will they generate a new UAN no. or activate the previous one?
2. If they generate a new UAN, can my previous EPS accounts be tracked by it?
Dear Arun,
1) Yes they generate new one.
2) NO.
I just need confirmation that i have joined new company within a month now people r saying there should be gap of 60 days then i can only withdraw my pf+eps amount.
When i login to my uan its shosing 2 member id or for claim i have to transfer old pf to new then only i will be eligible to withdraw but only 75% of employee contribution only is this right or wrong as my employer is not giving me proper reply i am in urgent need if you can help me so please suggest me how should i claim whether transfer then claim it or is there any possibility to withdraw without transfer
Dear Rahul,
If you are currently employed, then you are not allowed to withdraw EPF.
Dear Basavaraj,
I have a complex issue. I changed 3 organisations between 2014-2015 during which the process of UAN was being initiated by government. Now the result is I have 4 UAN & 4 PF accounts. I made transfers from all accounts after exits from organizations and now all the money is in the fourth PF account.
The problem I am facing is regarding the service history which only shows my current employer. If I raise a transfer request again via one member – one EPF account it gets rejected with reason ‘claim already settled’. What should I do in order to update my service history? This may cause problems in pension as well as I am not able to apply advance claim in a few options where service is required for more than 60 months.
Dear Pranav,
If your all EPF accounts transferred to your current EPF, then you no need to worry. However, if you are unable to track the history of earlier EPF accounts, then better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hello Mr. Basavaraj,
I have similar situation with 2 UAN created by same employer. Contribution is randomly split between 2 accounts in different months.
My Question: If I initiate ONLINE ‘one member – one epf a/c (transfer request)’ to merge into one UAN account, will the service history also get updated in my profile in unified epf portal?
I will be able to see amount transfer in passbook, but where will I see the service history transfer is successful ?
Dear Nancy,
Amount transfer itself a proof of your combined history.
Below is my small query. Your help will be much appreciated.
I worked in TCS from 2012-14 and withdrew my pf in 2015 as i went for higher education. at that time there was no UAN.
Now my new employer has created new UAN and PF no. In my service history i can only see my current employer.
Can you please let me know how can my prior work ex be added to this UAN so that I my service history of TCS is added to my total experience for pension calculation later.
My PF no at TCS was MHBAN00484750000551599 . My only UAN is 100786951412
When I try using One Employee – One EPF option it says “Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim request cannot be processed.”
Dear Niks,
Apply for the EPF transfer through your employer.
Dear Basavaraj. I have 2 different UAN numbers, where both have got an amount. How can I merge both UAN number.?
Dear Michelle,
Refer above posts and below comments.
I am transferring from Old UAN account to current UAN Account through second method.
My Old UAN account doesn’t have KYC updated (No Aadhar linked) but current UAN Account has KYC updated.
For Transferring to current UAN account (KYC updated) from Old UAN account(no KYC),do i need to update KYC in Old UAN account?
Please clarify.
Dear Vasanth,
NO.
Hello sir,
I initially worked for a company for 7 yrs which has one epf account and UAN. Later i joined another company (in 2016)which gave other epf account and new UAN. So far i haven’t activated new UAN. Now I am looking to withdraw PF. Tried withdrawing in the old EPF account but it’s saying aadhar is not updated as there is name mismatch. Pls advice on withdrawing the amount or should I first apply to merge both the UANs. Thank you in advance.
Dear Kumar,
You have to request for merger of UAN.
Hi,
My Old UAN has different DOB than my new UAN. My old UAN DOB is corrected today to match with correct DOB, by requesting through previous employer.
But when i raise the transfer request by putting old UAN, it’s still showing Old DOB (for Older UAN) eventhough, my DOB is updated in Old UAN (i confirmed by login into to Old UAN account).
Kindly clarify will it take some time to reflect the correct DOB in transfer request,as it just got updated today but reflected correctly in Old UAN login.
Dear Vasanth,
It takes some time. Better to wait.
uanepf@epfindia.gov.inis deactivated. Is any other email address where we can reach EPF team?
Dear Jayaram,
I am not aware of any other email. Better you be in touch with regional EPFO for the same.
Hi
I worked for company ‘X’ for 3.5 years and did have UAN with them.Joined company ‘Y’ and like any any other HR they have created another UAN here as well.In the past I did transferred PF amount from Company ‘X’ to ‘Y’ but I am not sure if old UAN is still active or not.Nevertheless the issue is I want to withdraw PF required for buying house and I am not able to use this option while drawing as it says I have less than 5 years of experience as current employer UAN shows 3 years in the database.My previous company service tenure has not been added.Please advise what needs to be done
Dear Satyanarayana,
If your EPF is already transferred to current UAN, then not an issue. Regarding withdrawal, raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hi,
My Old UAN doesn’t have Aadhar updated but my new UAN has Aadhar and KYC Details.
All others, like DOB,Name, Gender, Email, Mobile Number are updated in both UAN.
Do i need to update Aadhar in my Old UAN before EPFO transfer from Old UAN to new UAN take place?, or the basic details like DOB,Gender,Name is suffice for the transfer from Old to new UAN.
In other words, can i have 1 aadhar in 2 different UANs updated?
Dear Vasanth,
Not required.
Hi,
I have UAN with previous company and have withdrawn the full PF amount 3 years back. Now i am working for another company where-in a new UAN is generated. Since I have withdrawn the earlier PF, can i link the previous UAN with current UAN ? If so what would be best approach
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Dear Murthy,

Dear Ambica,
Yes, you can.
Hi sir,
I worked in X company for 3 yrs and they have generated a UAN no. I Quit and joined Y company and i provided all the required documents while joining but the Y company did reckless job and created another UAN for me. When i questioned HR is saying you can link the old UAN to the New UAN. Kindly help me out, can we link the old one with the new UAN. Will the Service and amount will be transferred to the new UAN. Because we cant with draw PF contribution amount not less than 10 yrs (correct me if im wrong). So, will the tenure i served in the old company 3 yrs will be added to the new UAN or not.
Kindly suggest me how to go now.
Dear Naresh,
Refer my answers related to merger of both UAN.
Respected Sir,
i have only one pf number but two different UAN numbers. Please suggest me to sort out the same..
and my DOB was 7 years different, i submitted my attested copy of SSC and adhaar card via courier and thru email also, but still EPFO office side it was rejecting!!!!!
Dear Pavan,
You have to request for merger of both UAN to EPFO through an employer. Regarding the date of the birth change, do the same either through an employer or by personally visiting to the concerned EPFO.
Sir, i am balakrishna can you tell me how to deactivate my aadhar to epf
Dear Balakrishna,

Hello Sir
Sir I was working in an organisation for 4months and I got UAN number now I got central job so I want to hide the UAN as because I don’t want to show the experience of the company,UAN is not linked with pan,bank account and Aadhar and now the central will open a new EPF so Sir there is chance to face problem afterward, please reply
Regards
Luwang
Dear Luwang,
Refer my earlier comments.
How did you get it Solved i have the same problem?
how about if the individual is working in the same organisation and has dual UAN numbers. how do we merge the contributions.
Dear Joseph,
Same way by approaching EPFO through the current employer.
I have 2 UAN generated one by previous employer (old UAN) and other by new employer (current Active UAN). But in my old UAN ,my Date of Birth is wrong and not updated Aadhar and KYC details.
Now i want to transfer my PF from Old Employer to new. Do i made KYC Complaint (add Aadhar/PAN) and correct the Date of Birth of old UAN and raise a EPF Transfer request by logging into my new UAN,once old UAN is made KYC Complaint.
I read somewhere, i can’t update Aadhar details for 2 different UAN.
Please clarify.
Dear Vasanthraja,
You first request for merger of both UAN.
Thanks for the reply.But my DOB is wrong in the old UAN and i just activated the old UAN ,but i saw all KYC Details missing.
Will without KYC details and incorrect DOB,can i able to merge 2 UAN?
When i checked with previous employer,they said to first update DOB Correction and KYC Details for Old UAN and then raise EPF Traansfer request so that the second method (automatic deactivation of Old UAN) works.
Please correct me if i am wrong and let me know the process.
Dear Vasantharaja,
Your employer is correct.
I have serious issue in UAN. I need your help please contact with me ASAP.
Dear Neel,
Better to contact the regional EPFO.
Hey sir,
I was working with a company for 3 months in the last year. Its been almost a year now that I’m not working with any company but now I got an offer from a company and did not tell them about those 3 months experience. So I don’t want to tell them that I already have a UAN no. or PF because I want to go as fresher.
so just wanted to know that “Is that possible that they get to know about it later?”
Because I’m thinking that let them create a new one and after some time I’ll deactivate the previous one as I can do it according to new changes.
Please Help me with this sir.
Dear Sam,
Refer my earlier comments in this regard.
Hi,
I will be leaving my current job and will be going abroad. I mistakenly activated another UAN and linked it to my adhar. my company UAN is different. Can I now link my adhar to the company UAN and withdraw my funds? will that be an issue? Or should I merge the UAN and withdraw my funds? Really appreciate your help.
Dear Umaira,
You better can withdraw the employer-provided UAN easily as now Aadhaar is not mandatory to link UAN.
Hello Basavaraj,
Thanks for your prompt response. Grateful if you can answer the below queries as well:
Just confirming, that I do not have to link my company UAN to Adhar?
Also, my name mentioned in UAN card is not the same as Adhar, will that cause any issues?
can I just withdraw my funds once I leave the company by adding the bank details?
Dear Umaira,
Linking Aadhaar to UAN is not mandatory.
even for the online process of withdrawal?
Dear Umaira,
Yes.
Before I have worked in one electrical company, There they have created UAN, but now I want to deativate that UAN, is it possible? If it’s possible please explain the Process.
Dear Sohail,
You can’t deactivate but can request EPFO through your current employer for the merger of both UAN.

Both the companies I can see on same on UAN number.
This is the error message i see

Dear Narayana,
As both EPF are under one UAN and you are currently working, you are not allowed to withdraw.
hi basvaraj,
i am absconding from a MNC due to some health ailments, i want to withdrew money from PF ..should i link my aadhar in this case ? or leave it like that and creating a new UAN with next employer
Dear Surya,
If you want to withdraw, then linking PAN is mandatory. However, if you want to forget it fully, then let your new employer create new UAN.
sir i was joined a company in last year but unfortunately i left the the company with in two months one year after that i went through to apply some govt.schemes through my aadhar . it showing that ” your already employed and, it is displaying epfo UAN number.because of that iam not eligible for getting any loans and all.please help me out regarding this

I want to withdraw my PF amount but I am not able to withdraw my amount that was with my previous employer. I am able to withdraw only current employer’s pf amount.
Please assist how can i withdraw my PF amount which is with previous employer.
I have only one UAN no.
Regards,
Shweta
Dear Shweta,
For this issue, there may be many reasons and one of them may be not entering exit date from your past employer. Hence, to know the exact reason, try to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
How much time does it take to get 2 UAN numbers to get linked
Dear Shweta,
Sadly there is no such time horizon set.
Hello,
i have registered new UAN number mistakenly through below link by verifying Aadhar number.
https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/no-auth/citizenRegistration/viewRegistraton
My company UAN is different. how i can remove my aadhar from newly registered account and block UAN
Dear Chandra,
You can’t remove it. Now request EPFO through your employer for the merger of both UAN.
Dear Basavaraj,
Thanks for the quick reply. did they accept to merge?, if my surname only initial letter in one UAN and Full Surname in other UAN as per ( Aadhar card )
Regards,
Sekhar
Dear Chandra,
They have to.
Great!, another quick question :
i have registered new UAN 15-jun 2018, which was link to my Aadhar number. Am i eligible to apply merge UAN now? or should i wait for couple of months to request UAN merge.
Thanks
Chandra
Dear Chandra,
Go ahead and request.
adhar didn’t link with UAN due to mismatch in name
Dear Mehul,
Then first correct the name and afterward try to link.
Hi, I have worked for two employer within a year and I have left them . Now I am going to join another one a.then should I have to mention my previous employer to my new employer considering that the job is for freshers.
Dear Aditya,
It is always best to use the old EPF and UAN details to be shared with new employer.
currently iam not working,i want to cancel my pf account,i need your help
Dear Rajesh,
You can’t cancel it. It will get closed if you withdraw the money.
Basavaraj Tonagatti can i have your mail id please
Dear Priyank,
Use the contact us page to interact with me.
Hi,
I have total of 13 years experience and have been transferring my PF to the joining company. My previous company assigned me a UAN number. When I joined this new company 3 years back they assigned me a new UAN ID . The money from the old UAN has also been transferred to new UAN. When I am trying for a partial withdrawal from my New UAN it says that as you have not completed 60 months of service you cannot withdraw the same.
How do i sort that out
Hi Basavaraj Tonagatti,
Thanks for your reply,
As per my last query i want to ask can i withdraw my pf balance from my old pf account of concerned regional pf office or go to any near by pf office from my home. If my old pf account and new pf account both are linked with my single UAN number and new pf account are currently running.
Dear Azhar,
In that case, you are not allowed to withdraw.
Hi Basavaraj Tonagatti,
If i transfer my old pf balance to my new pf account so my present employer will contact to my previous employer or the present employer will know about my date of exit is it possible.
Please suggest me what should i do in this situation.
Thank you
Dear Azhar,
MAY OR MAY NOT BE.
Hi Basavaraj Tonagatti,
I have 2 PF account linked with 1 UAN number but i don’t want to transfer my old PF balance to my new PF account due to some issue related with my joining date in new comp is 18/12/18 & my date of exit from previous company is coming 08/03/18. I don’t want to give my date of exit in present company. if i gave may be it will create dual employment issue and the present company fired me. Idon’ want to left my present company and i want to claim my old pf balance in full n final without informing present employer. and my present employer is covered under trust that’s why i cannot apply online for pf withdrawl. I have all the document like reliving letter , F & F slip and KYC updated also linked aadhar with UAN number.
I am so confused by whom i have to contact. can i go in any pf office anywhere in delhi or i can go only in that pf office in which my old pf account held.
Please advise me as soon as possible
Thank you
Dear Azhar,
You no need to approach a current employer for withdrawal. You can approach the past employer for the same or the concerned regional EPFO of old EPF.
Hello mr tonagatti,
Actually I left my pervious form in nov 2016 and joined my new form immediately though I gave my old uan however my new form generated the new uan number.
And as per your blog ya I can go with second method of merging however I wanted to ask that is there any way that I can withdraw my funds from the previous uan number and close that uan number permanently?
Dear Sonal,
You can withdraw but if both UAN are KYC verified, then they not allow you to withdraw. Also, withdrawing when you are in job is not allowed. You can only transfer it.
Hello Sir,
I have two sets of UAN. Yesterday I got my previous employer to do a Transfer claim from previous to present employer. Tgey got it digitally certified (digital signature) and they accepted my transfer claim (done online from my present UAN account). When I go and check the TRACK CLAIM STATUS under unified portal of epfo, under TRANSFER CLAIM STATUS it shows the claim status as ACCEPTED BY EMOLOYER.
What should I do now?
Has it transfer been initiated?
When will the balance in my previous UAN be transferred to my present UAN?
Dear Indranil,
Transfer has been initiated and you have to wait for EPFO approval.
Thank you Sir. I understand it might take up to a months time to get this sorted. When I try to track the status under- Know your claim status, it says- No Data record found.
Dear Indranil,
It may be some issues with website. If you find the same status for few more days, then better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hi Sir,
When I link my addhar card number it will appear another UAN number how to link my addhar into my current UAN number.

Hello sir,
I have a UAN from my previous company which is Aadhaar verified.
I have applied for a new UAN in my new company now as I don’t want to disclose my previous experience to this new employer.
Is it possible that the new employer will be able to get the hint of my previous UAN since my aadhar nos is already verified in previous and now they would be generating the new UAN using the same aadhar nos.?
I have not applied for withdrawal from my previous UAN.
Hari-Refer the below comments. It is already discussed many times.
Hello Sir,
2 years before I was working for one company. Due to health issues I had to quit my job, after some time I started pursuing MTech, in my campus selection I got placed in one company as a fresher.
Now the issue is I do not have releaving letter or experience letter from old company, but my UAN is linked with Aadhar card. I do not want share that I have worked earlier to the new company. Should I hide my previous company UAN or share ?
I do not want the old PF , can I say that I do not have any UAN. Ask them to create new UAN number. If they create new UAN what are the necessary actions that I should do?
Thanks

Dear Shobhan,
Refer earlier comments of this post.
Hello sir my query is tha i work in xyz organisation in from December 2016 To June 2017 in that period i received UAN number , after june 2017 to till date i m not working so my question is how can i activate my UAN or receive my 7 month pf please help me.
Vishal-You can activate it online (If not did earlier). Also, if your UAN is fully KYC complied then you can withdraw using online facility (unified portal). Otherwise, you have to use offline method for withdrawal.
One more question if i join another organisation should i get new UAN or use this old one UAN
Vishal-You have to use old UAN.
HI,
My Gender Details got mismatch in the UAN.I am getting error as “AADHAAR is already verified in unified portal. Your details is not editable”. What should i do know.Recently I joined in another organisation while the employer is trying to add my UAN it not taking my other details
Anusha-Request EPFO through current employer for the same.
Dear Sir,
Greetings For The Day,
I have worked with four organizations in past 6 years and having four UAN numbers saperately for four organizations. Right now I am not working with any organization and I have claimed my PF amount of preveous organization.
When I am trying to claim amount of second last organization from online portal only I am able to fill PF advance form. Rest of two forms i.e. Form 19 and 10 C is not visible at portal.
Kindly suggest correct procedure to withdraw all amount of PF of all three organization.
I would be thankful for you.

Jay Kumar Sharma
Jay-It may be because your employer not entered the exit date. Please cross check if not then contact the employer for the same.
Hi,
I have 2 UAN’s created as of now. My previous employer UAN is presently active and i applied for full withdrawal as i worked for 9 months in the previous company and amount got settled within a week. I have one more UAN created by my present employer which is not activated. How do i proceed ? Will it be a problem to merge as i did a withdrawal recently?
Spoorthi-Refer my above post and below comments.
HELLO SIR,
By mistake I have generated a new UAN. This new one is activated also. But the older one which is available at employer is not activated sill due to mismatch in date of birth. Kindly suggest the solution for the same. How to activate the older one?
Vedang-I think you provide this activated UAN to the employer.
I have generated UAN number by mistake please suggests for delete.
Pankaj-If it is not activated then you can just leave it. If you activated, then you have to request EPFO through your employer for the merger of both UAN.
Hi Sir,
I want to claim pf amount through online. But still unable to claim online as employer didn’t update the fields date of exit and reason for leaving like these. Still asking the employer that ‘please update the fields’ but they are saying that we have problem with our system once resolve we can update, like this they are updating to me.
So can’t we take the pf amount directly from pf office by submitting forms like 19 and 10c for full and final settlement (withdrawal)?
Nani-Sadly it is not possible. However, raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
hello sir,
i have worked in two different companies. which has two different UAN numbers.i have activated one UAN number using my mobile number. can we link other UAN with other mobile number and apply for with drawl?

please suggest me on this.
Thanks
D.Abhilash
Abhilash-You can try so.
hello,
After claim settled status will the UAN will be de activated automatically.

Dontharaju-I am not getting your doubt. Can you elaborate?
Recently my employer informed me at the time of KYC update for digital signature he create a new UAN and Account in my name. So now I have 2 UAN and account in same PAN and AAdhar no. It is for only casualness of my employer. What can I do now?
Ajoy-Refer above post and below comments for the same.
Hi Basava,
Thank you for the helpful article.
I was informed today by my employer today that I have two UAN s in the same company. The reason might be because they have not updated the details during an internal transfer that I had.
I was only aware of 1 UAN (current one) and have used it to register in EPFO portal before.
Now when I am trying to initiate Pf withdrawal (i resigned in Dec) i am not able to see the withdrawal option in the dropdown. Again it might be because this Uan was generated only a year ago when I had the transfer.
Please suggest what I can do.
Aditi-Better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Thanks Basava.
My company told me to do a PF transfer from the UAN account created first to the UAN created recently. Also, they updated my date of leaving and I was able to initiate a transfer with the current UAN.
Aditi-Great to know this. So your issue resolved?
Yes Basava. Thank you.
Presently I’m not working, recently I was selecting the xxxx company. I have a pf account and UAN number for previous company. So I want to claim the pf amount but that would be a late. So I want to deactivate UAN and pf accounts, is it possible?
I didn’t give the UAN account to that company. The new company will create a new UAN with pf account or ….? I don’t want to give UAN to that company
Nani-There is no such option to deactivate UAN or EPF. If you do not provide the earlier UAN, then the new employer may generate the new UAN. But refer above post properly of what EPFO planning to do.
Hi
I have two UAN nos. but I don’t want to deactivate my OLD UAN no.
I want to deactivate my NEW UAN and want to transfer from my NEW UAN no. to OLD UAN
Can I do that ?
Thanks in Advance for your response.
Pramod-You can only merge them but can’t deactivate.
Basva –
Thank you for your comments. But the real question is how to merge both the UAN numbers as the online way doesn’t work and there is no offline way for merging.
When we raised a ticket with EPFO grievance cell with the details of UANs and PF accounts associated for merging, they simply said that you need to transfer old PFs accounts to the new UAN, however they didn’t showed the way to do it.
In this case can you please let us know the process to merge both UAN accounts together?
Bregds,
Sohan
Sohan-Raise the request for merger through your employer to the EPFO.
Hi Basava,
I appreciate your blog with full information.
I have below query can you plz help me.

Thanks,
Rajesh B
Rajesh-Request for transfer of first company EPF to current company UAN.
Thanks for the response.
Please let me know how to transfer pf to uan
Rajesh-Using online portal of EPFO (Unified) you can do so.
HI Basavaraj,
I could not find my old PF details in EPFO site.
Can you please guide me on this.
Thanks,
Rajesh B
Dear Rajesh,
If your earlier EPF is managed by your employer trust, then you can’t see the same. Hence, better check the status.
I have completely withdrawn the total PF (employee and employer share), however I have not received any letter from PF office about the amount received and to declare the received amount is tax free.
Also the ‘Pension contribution’ was not withdrawn, for this also I have not received the letter which can be used in future after 58 years to withdraw the pension amount.
Please help me with following,
1- From where I can get the letter, is there any online (email id) from there I can download.
2-what is the name of letter to be asked for the amount received and non taxable
3-how to get the ‘Pension contribution’ letter.
Regards,
BK
BK-1) They will not send any such letter. You have to check your passbook online.
3) To get pension amount, you have to submit the withdrawal for that also.
I have the same problem, the employer has generated 2 UAN. The case in this is that there is a long month gap(Between previous and new one). They have given me the option to withdraw my current PF and use the new one created. Can we close the previous UAN? Is it fine? Cancelled UAN NO: 101257997374
Manjunathan-You can’t close but can only merge both.
Hi Team,
I have 2 UAN’s alloted to me. I worked in a company wherein I absconded within 3 months for which they have created a UAN and linked my aadhar to it. Now I worked with 3 different companies which has same UAN however when I tried to link my Aadhar to it online it gives an error stating that the Aadhar is already linked to different UAN which is the previous one. Please help me with the detailed steps of deactivating the previous UAN or a workaround for linking my Aadhar to my second UAN.
Thanks,
Sai Kiran
Just for a Heads up. Im confused alot though I read the above comments and posts.
Sai-I already commented. There is no option of deactivating. But you have to request EPFO through your current employer for the merger of such multiple UAN numbers.
Dear Sir,
please help to resolve my issue as i have 2 UAN no 1st one is need to deactivate. due to this i am not able to update my KYC in correct UAN. Please help my mobile no 9265876019
Narendra-Refer above post and below comments for clarity.

Dear Basavaraj Tonagatti ,
I worked with company A for 4.5 years then switched to company by where I just stayed for 6 months now i am not working in any corporate structure but self employed . Despite me providing my UAN of company A company B generated another UAN. I want to merge both the UAN and take out my PF as I have not been working for over a year.what my concern is on transfer request my older UAN gets deactivated which is more than 5 years old and new UAN becomes my primary which is 1.5 yrs old. So would I be eligible to withdraw my PF under new UAN , or should I just withdraw PF from UAN 1 and then merge .
Amit-If your UAN numbers are merged, then as per me, transfer old UAN to new one and then request for withdrawal.
Dear Basavaraj,
My UANs are not merged as of now , I am just concerned that once I merge OLD to new , will it cause any problems in withdrawal – like taxation or less than 5 years age etc. Is there any way I can request to merge my NEW UAN to old one
Amit-If both are not merged yet, then withdraw separately.
sorry to bother you again my 2nd UAN is just 1.5 yrs old can I withdraw from it or will have to wait for it to complete 5 yrs/1 yr unemployment
Amit-If taxation is your major concern, then you have to wait.
Hello Sir,
I am already having UAN generated from my previous employer. If I don’t share the details of previous employment with the new employer, can they know about my previous employment and already generated UAN through my PAN and AADHAR Details when they themselves will try to create a new UAN for me considering me as a fresher?
Regards
Rohan-It may or may not.
Hi Basava,
Good Morning!
This request is in regards to the merging of two UAN numbers which I am trying to do using the new functionality of “One Member – One EFP” available on the new UAN portal (https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/). Unfortunately the functionality doesn’t allow to merge different EPF accounts allocated to two different UAN’s respectively.
I have two UAN numbers in which there are different EPF accounts linked to each of them. The first UAN has 2 EPF accounts and the latest one has 1 EPF account which needs to be merged together. The OTCP portal is no more into existence since we have this new “One Member – One EFP” functionality available for online PF transfers.
I have tried using the above functionality for merging the old EPF accounts with my latest UAN, however while I perform the transfer exercise by logging into new EPFO portal and using latest UAN, it says that – “Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim request cannot be processed”.
And again when I login into the EPFO portal using the old UAN and try accessing the functionality from there, it says that – “Online claim request cannot be processed since your present employer has not made payment in your PF account”. This is mainly because I have left my last organization.
Request to kindly let me know if there is a way out using which I can merge both these UAN numbers online or the only way left is to send an email to uanepf@epfindia.gov.in for getting the previous UAN deactivated and then manually claiming transfer for both the old EPF accounts. I am afraid that if the previous UAN gets deactivate immediately without the old EPF accounts being transferred to the new one, I shall not be able to locate them for future references.
I will appreciate your quick turnaroud on the above issue.
Thanking you in advance!
Bregds,
Sohan
Sohan-The only option is to merge both UAN.
Hi Basva,
Morning!
Thank you for your quick turnaround. I understand that and appreciate it.
However, my question was is there a way out online other than the one mentioned by me above to merge the EPF accounts associated with both the UAN numbers.
Will appreciate your advise on the same.
Bregds,
Sohan
Sohan-Sadly as of now NO.
Thanks Basava!!!
Basva,
Can you pls specify the detailed step wise procedure for offline transfer of PF amount from old UAN (i.e from PF accounts linked to old UNA) to the new UAN (PF account linked to the new UAN)?
Bregds,
Sohan
Sohan-Request EPFO through your employer for the same.
Hi Basavaraj,
I worked in Company A and am with Company B, I have UAN one for company A and one for B, both are not linked/merged. Can i withdraw my company A, FORM-10C and Form 19 using my Aadhar authentication?
Please reply
Partha-Try your luck.
Thank you
I got it credited with in 7 working days and there was no issue
This email address is not functional: uanepf@epfindia.gov.in. I have sent emails to this and the emails have always been undelivered. I had a UAN generated in 2014 to which all my PF accounts from 2009 were linked and continued to be linked until June 2016 (when I changed my job). To my new employer, I provided my UAN, my earlier employer had also put in the exit date, yet, my new employer provided a new UAN to me 10 months after joining them (around March-April 2017). I suspect this to be because the UAN I had provided to my new employer was misplaced by my new employer, hence it got recorded in the system as one of those cases when an employee doesn’t provide the UAN details (despite my having provided it). Even now, I can login to EPFO portal through my earlier UAN and access all my member passbooks there from 2009 to 2016. When I try to login using my new UAN, it only shows this is UAN is not activated. I do not want to go through the hassle of transferring from my earlier UAN to the new one, for no fault of mine. Can I not ask my employer since June 2016 to transfer their current PF to my earlier UAN, since the new UAN is anyway not activated yet?
Manasa-Why not you use the online portal of EPFO Grievance Cell Online?
Hello.
I am having a UAN no. from my previous organisation where i worked for 4.5 years and now new organisation has also allotted me a new UAN no. Kindly let me know how to get them merged in one.

1)i should or not give them the UAN and PF acc number of Comp. A as i have not mentioned abt the them to company C
2)if i dont give them the UAN number will they come to know about my previous UAN no as my PAN attached to it.
3)is there any way out to hide my comp A details and yr of work with them..
thanks
Kanika
Kanika-1) Left with you.
2) May be or may not be.
3) Hard to say.
Can a person have more than one UAN?
Every employee will ideally have only one UAN. However, sometimes due to certain mistakes on the part of either the employee or the employer, the employee might have more than one UAN. This will happen in the following situations:
1> Employee does not share his/her existing UAN with a new employer on changing a job.
This happens when an employee doesn’t want to show past work history,or has some issues with the previous employer. In this case, the employer generates a new UAN. And so the employee ends up with two UANs.
2> The previous employer does not update the employee’s exit date from the job. In such a case, after joining a new company, a new UAN gets generated.
I think if your PAN/AADHAR number was not verified then it will not create an issue.
Mark Benson
HI Sir,
Is it really not required to transfer Pervious PF amount to the present PF account..after linking Aadhaar Number. ?
Thanks in Advance.
Mahesh
Mahesh-Better to transfer to avoid future ambiguity.
Dear Sir
BY MISTAKE
I have created a new UAN NUMBER FROM MY ADHAR NUMBER THROUGH ONLINE
BUT HAVEN’T ACTIVE IT
I WANT TO dELINK THIS UAN FROM MY ADHAR NUMBER
AS I ALREADY HAVE A UAN NUMBER WHICH HAS PF AMOUNT
AND HAVE TO LINK MY ADHAR NUMBER TO THIS OLD UAN NUMBER WHICH HAS PF AMOUNT IS IT POSSIBLE
Girish-If you have not activated it then you no need to worry.
Hi sir,
Same problem here, I have also created a new UAN number from my ADHAAR number through online but I have activated it also. So I want to deactivate this UAN from my ADHAAR number
as I already have an UAN NUMBER from my employer which has PF amount. How can do this?? Please suggest..
Soujanya-You have to request EPFO through your employer for the merger of both UAN.
THANKYOU!
Hi,
I have below queries, could you please give some resolution
1. How to merge previous UAN to current UAN. As i requested present employer to do so, they are not doing
2. How to update previous service history to current UAN. As i requested present employer to do so, they are telling ask previous employer
3. As my EPF already transferred to new UAN, is it ok to leave previous UAN which is in active stage.
4. As my EPF already transferred to new UAN,EPS follows EPF. But as per latest EPS statement from EPFO, previous company EPS is not available
5. What is annexure-K which is present employer asking for EPS transfer.
Jitendra-If your current employer not co-operating, then raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell online. Your EPS will never be transferred. EPFO just update the service records. Hence, it is not showing.
Hi,
Please advise on the below queries.
I have two PF a/c’s linked with one UAN number. I have quit second company as well but my first company’s PF a/c balance is not transfer to second one. Now, I am not working with any company having PF a/c.
Is it possible, if i will submit separate forms in both the company’s to withdraw my PF.
I got message from second company that, it is not possible to merged balance now, as I have already left the company in Jan 16.
Rahul-Try your luck but as per me, EPFO force you to merge both and then withdraw.
Hi sir,
In the process of mergering UAN .by mistake I update my Aadhaar to old MAN number.
Can u please suggest how to deactivate that and link the new UAN to Aadhaar.
Mahesh-There is no such process to deactivate. Hence, better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hello Sir,
I had the same problem and requested for a transfer, however now in my current UAN i could see only the PF amount transferred and credited. The pension amt still is available with the old UAN passbook. How do transfer get the same. Im even ok with withdrawal. awaiting your response, thanks in advance
Kumar-EPS will never get transferred. EPFO will just update your service records.
Thank you sir, but where can I get the accumulated value on my EPS?
Also, should I update my details and aadhaar for the old UAN as well and keep that active?
Kumar-If the same is not available in your account balance online, then raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
i am working in company A in which i have epf account with Uan Number but i want to leave that company beacuse of persoanl issue without inform them and want to give all document of company B(No Epf Account) to Comapany C(next company) is that possible?.

Hello Sir, I have two UAN numbers however, instead of merging my previous pf account to current, I am willing to withdraw my previous pf. Would that be possible to withdraw the pf if I hold two UAN Number? Please advise
Neha-You can do so but legally it is no possible and also even after withdrawing EPF from earlier UAN, the account number of UAN will not close. Instead, I suggest you to merge.
Thank you Sir.
hey neha
did hide ur previous uan so u can create new uan?
Hi Basu, Thanks for the article which is useful. I have a query on double UAN where i have been assigned with a new UAN by RPFO where my new employer has account with due to some procedural issues. My previous employer was an exempted PF Trust. Hence i have updated 2 different mobile numbers in both UAN just to ensure i get updates. My PF transfer is complete but no clarity on EPS (service history) part. Hence my previous employer suggested to submit form 13 again where they mentioned that EPS account is same as EPF account but EPS was held at RPFO and EPF was in their exempted trust.
Now i can see that in my old UAN the ‘Service History’ – DOJ and DOE is updated but my new UAN service history reflects only the service with current employer. Here my questions are; 1. How do i merge UANs, either step 1 or 2 since my previous PF account held at exempted PF trust? 2. If i merge using step 1 , will my service history with pervious employer reflect in my new UAN?
I am very much confused and the employers are not helping much. Could you help in clarifying the above query and suggest whats the next action i can take?
Saravana-Use first method.
Hi
I have two issues
My surname mentioned in original uan is wrong for which i have already submitted name change request on portal….
Second issue
I was trying to link my aadhar with original uan but instead it created new uan
Now m not able to upload document on original uan as it is linked with other uan ….pls help
Sanjana-You have to follow the process of explained above regarding merger of both UAN at first. Then you can link Aadhar to UAN.

Jahfar-As you are currently working, you are not allowed to withdraw but can only take advance based on special occasions.
Hi Basavaraj,
What if someone has already withdrawn and has arrears also to come from previous employer and second UAN is already active?
Vaishali-Hard to say as they have not clarified in this regard. Better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Thanks. Let me do that. I hope it will not have any legal implications.
Vaishali-Not at all.

I was working with QUESS CORP LIMITED and now am trying to withdrawal the PF.But the problem am facing while applying it online is below:
In hurry,i have generated the UAN number online and linked it with my Aadhar and forgot to use the UAN given by QUESS CORP LIMITED on salary slips which has all establishment and PF details.
Now am not able to link UAN number given by QUESS CORP LIMITED with my Aadhar, because my Aadhar is already linked with the UAN, which i have created.
Please help to deactivate or delete the UAN ,which i have created so that i could LINK my Aadhar with UAN gave by my organisation.
i would be very thankful to you for this .
Gaurav-Refer the below comments of what I said for such multiple UAN numbers.

Any other email for deletion of UAN
Gaurav-You have to give a request letter to your employer addressing EPFO for merger.
Sir I m trying to link my adhar no with UAN but it’s show the adhar authentication failed,adhar number,name,DOB Mismatch with resister data so how can link my adhar card with UAN?

How I can correct my data ,it’ is already corrected on adhar card,pan card etx
Amit-I am saying about EPF.
How can I update this data in epf
Amit-Using Unified portal you can or through your employer.
Sir,
i was unable to link my aadhar with uan number for claiming
please provide the offline steps for aadhar updation or provide the steps to claim my pf amount via offline
Karthik-If you are unable to link Aadhaar to UAN online, then you have to visit to the concerned EPFO and try to link manually.
I never had my PF account before. This is my first job and im working here since last 3 years. My employer gave me UAN number which I tried to activate but was unable. So i linked my Aadhar card again and got a new UAN number. Now I have 2 UAN numbers. 1st isnt getting activated where I can see my balance and 2nd I am able to log in and see my card but unable to see any balance. Now on which UAN number I can check my passbook and how?
Devendra-Your EPF account is linked with first UAN. Hence, you have to check your details from first UAN.
Thank you so much sir
Hello Sir,
My first company created UAN-1 and i worked there for 2 + years… Then I joined company 2 and gave them UAN – 1 but they did not update it in their records. Instead they created UAN – 2. I tried to transfer PF but it did not succeed. Soon I switched to company 3 and gave them UAN 1..
Now my second company suggests that I withdraw PF from UAN-2 and get it closed and again initiate the transfer from company 1 to company 3 because they have the same UAN number.
Please suggest if its the right choice.
Summary :
Company 1 – UAN 1
Company 2 – UAN 2
Company 3 – UAN 1
Thanks
Swapnila
Swapnil-Instead of withdrawing from UAN 2, I suggest you to request EPFO through your employer for the merger of both UAN. Once that process is over, then request for EPF account transfer.
I have two UAN numbers. On Jul, 2017, the government is made mandatory to update Aadhar details for EPF & UAN numbers. For online claim transfer requires Aadhar card details mandatory. I have updated my Aadhar details to present employer. I am unable to update Aadhar details to my previous UAN numbers because the new UAN numbers is already linked.
Please can you help me to understand this situation?
How to merge/transfer the PF.
Is it bestway to withdraw my PF from old UAN linked accounts
Siva-Refer my suggestion to the such multiple UAN numbers.
Hi ,
I have two UAN numbers (1 from previous employer and 2 nd one from current employer). Both are in active. I tried to transfer amount from old to new one. I tried to do the same through the portal, it is saying “Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim not processed. “. I found that Father name is mismatched with initials (I tried to correct it multiple times from previous employer but they haven’t responded). Can you please provide any other process like going to EPO office etc? Thank you!!
Amara-In my view first request EPFO through your current employer for the merger of both, then go for EPF transfer.
We are trying to link with aadhar on Online Aadhaar Verified UAN Allotment. We get another UAN number(xxxxxxxxxx). there is 2 UAN number different from current UAN number. Is there affect on my current UAN ?
Please support. what i do now ?
Khundrakpam-It will not affect your current UAN. But you have to request EPFO through your current employer for the merger of both UAN.
Thanks for support.
I have 2 UAN Numbers (Current and Previous) what is the option for merging them both?, If we merge them all the Amount from the previous account will be transfer to the current UAN account?
Please advice.
Akshit-Refer my below comments regardintg the same issues.

Hi Sir, I have worked in one of the Xxxx company in 3 months and absond due to the health issue. I got 3 months PF but they didn’t provide any UAN number. Is it possible to get that my 3 months PF money.. Could you please tell how can I will get..
Akhil-Without UAN, you can’t withdraw.
I have a Active UAN and I am trying to get a full PF settlement. I am not working right now in any organisation, By mistake I clicked on Online Aadhar Verified UAN Allotment option in epfo website, after filling the details:
The message received ” Your Application with Ref No XXXXXXXXX is approved. Your UAN is XXXXXXXXXX. Please activate your UAN using Activate UAN functionality on https:// unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/”
I am in the process of withdrawing PF from the old employer which I worked for 8 years, I was unable to link my aadhar with my old employer due to name mismatch, thats the reason I tried online verified UAN allotment and I though my aadhar will get linked to my UAN, Now how can I delete this new UAN generated as I am not working anywhere, Due to this new UAN no linked with aadhar generated, will I have any problem linking my UAN with my old employer which I am trying to get a full settlement. I have advised to change the name in the aadhar as it appears on the UAN, If I do this will I be able to link aadhar with my old UAN? Do I need to deactivate the new UAN created by mistake or do I have to go to the PF office and tell them the situation and submit the form for withdrawal of PF, Please help me ..
Thanks and Regards
Surya
Surya-As you have not activated this new UAN, you can go ahead and link Aadhaar with old UAN and try to withdraw.
Hi,
Actually I activated it without knowing, I was not aware about this, I was just trying to link my old UAN with Aadhar, I thought alloment of UAN through Aadhar is to link aadhar with epf, but unfortunately new once created and also I am not working any where right now, not going to work in the future too, can I deactivate this new UAN or is that possible to link old UAN with aadhar once I update change of name is aadhar as it appears on UAN, or will it give me an error that the aadhar has already been used and linked to an UAN account which I created by mistake? Because when I try to link aadhar with UAN it gave me name mismatch error, so I really want to get this fixed so that I can claim my money? Pls help me
Thanks and Regards
Surya
Surya-Do one thing, visit nearest EPFO and try to link Aadhaar to old UAN. Once it gets linked successfully, then you can withdraw. If that not happens, then you have to knock EPFO Grievance Cell to deactivate the new UAN.
Hi,
My old employer created UAN-1 and after I joined new company they created a new UAN-2 and started depositing into it.
As suggested in this thread I logged into my UAN-1 account and tried to initiate a transfer request.
I get a
Online claim request cannot be processed as :-
Present employer has not made payment in your PF account.
Can someone please suggest how I can get this resolved and merge the UAN’s?
thanks in advance.
thanks
Jagadeesh
Jagadeesh-It is due to not depositing money by your employer. Better you discuss this issue with your employer.
Yes I understand that, I left that company and hence they do not deposit any more. The UAN portal is not allowing to transfer to my current active UAN because of this reason. How to overcome this?
Jagadeesh-If they not heed your request, then raise a complaint against them with EPFO.
Sir,
I dont understand your response. I am talking about the issue with UAN portal that it is not allowing to transfer. I have no complaint against my employer. I understand because I resigned they do not deposit money anymore.
Can you please go through my earlier message and then suggest?
thanks
Jagadeesh
Jagadeesh-When you discontinue the service then your employer stops to contribute to EPF. This YOU and ME known very well. However, as per EPF message it is stating that your employer not deposited the money. This means some part of your EPF (which was during your employment) might not be deposited with EPFO. Hence, I told to raise the issue.
bro its because your current employer is making the contribution in new account nd old employer ended the old account.for your previous employer contribution you can simply check the passbook 🙂
I am also going thro the same issue. My new company PF advisor asked me to submit form 13 offline and submit to my HR of the new company.
This form needs signature of both employers.
To do online transfer , you can try thro the portal
https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/
However your KYC details should be fully updated I think for the employers.
Jagadeesh, you can do from UAN2 not from UAN1. From new UAN you can submit transfer claim by giving old UAN details attested through either old/new employer.
I already have UAN and this is linked by my PF account number but KYC not updated by the employer long time so by my self today by thinking of updating the aadhaar to existing UAN I clicked the Online Aadhar Verified UAN Allotment option in epfo website mistakenly, after filling the details:
The message received ” Your Application with Ref No X is approved. Your UAN is Xx. Please activate your UAN using Activate UAN functionality on https:// unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/” then only i able to recognize the mistake that two UAN allotted but i have not activated the same since i left the old organisation in June 2016 doing own business and after repeated request with employer now only Pf withdrawal is in process due to oversight i did the mistake.is it possible to deactivate the new one? Please advise how to proceed further?
Thanks & Regards
Suryanarayanan-I think if you have not activated it, then just leave it like that. Instead, inform your employer for verifying the KYC.
go to your HR.it’s simple he just have to login to epfo site.go to active members in dashboard then select ur name and edit aadhar card in it.simple 🙂

Hello Sir,
This is Akash Jain, i have a question can we have 3 uan number, if i dont want to show my previous organization which is alloted to 2nd uan number and my 1st uan name correction is under process.
So what should i do in such case such that i dont want to show my last organization which is alloted in 2nd uan
please help me into it
Akash-The rule is one employee must have one UAN. If you still hold multiple UAN numbers, then soon EPFo in the process of merging such multiple UAN numbers.
PLS MENTION THE PROCESS
Saraswathi-I said EPFO will merge such multiple UAN numbers on it’s own in near time.
Hi
What is the periodicity of auto checking and affecting the transfer to new UAN. I followed the process, got confirmation message that transfer is approved on 18.04.17 but till date can see two different passbooks.

Hi sir,
I have worked in x company in 2015 there I had a UAN number allotted to me then due to some health issues I have absconded after working for 5months , later I have withdrawan my amount from epfo without hr intervention.
Now will my UAN number will be still active since I have not used it again, if yes how to deactivate it .

Balu-Yes. You have to request EPFO through your current employer for the merger of both.
Is there any chance to know my previous employer details through pan or UAN number if I join new organisation?
Balu-Refer my earlier replies.
I would like to use old UAN and not the new one. How feasible is it?

Hi Basarvaj, I have worked for a company till May/2015 in a company where i got my UAN number (KYC done) and I withdrew the PF amount from the PF account. I joined another (new)company in Jun/2015 and got a new UAN number. Now my old and new UAN numbers are active. I request you to navigate me .
Thanks in Advance
Madhu KP
Madhu-Refer my below replies.
Hi Basavaraj, Thank you so much for your reply. I believe merger of both the UAN’s would be the best option, Just would like to know if there wont any issues if I request for a merger as the old UAN/PF account dosent have any balance it. And the new UAN/PF account is the current one which is active.
Thank you in Advance.
Madhu
Madhu-No issues at all.
Hello Sir,
I have worked with Organization A till Nov 2016 and shifted to Organization B after that. I had a UAN number and EPF account with Org A, but when I joined Org B they didn’t ask for the existing UAN and created a new UAN and EPF account. Now I wish to merge the two UANs and transfer the EPF amount from the old account to the new account. Kindly suggest the way forward.
Thanks in advance.
Vijay-Refer my replies to the same doubts.
Hi Basavaraj,
I was working with a company say A which generated my UAN then I left the company A and joined B. Company B didn’t ask me for my UAN and has not generated my new UAN id also.Recently I have joined company C where they are asking for my UAN, but I have withdrawal the PF amount of company A and company B didn’t have so should I give UAN which I had in company A?
Please let me know how to transfer my PF amount of company B as I can’t see any detail of that employer linked to that UAN.
Jaanvi-Yes, you can provide the UAN of company A. I am not sure without UAN how the company B contributed to EPF. Check with company B for this.
I have already UAN and this is linked by my PF account no, but dated on 24-11-2017 when I clicked the Online Aadhar Verified UAN Allotment option in epfo website, after filling the details:
The message received ” Your Application with Ref No XXXXXXXXX is approved. Your UAN is XXXXXXXXXX. Please activate your UAN using Activate UAN functionality on https:// unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/”
So, Kindly confirm me is two UAN is generated in my id or not? If two UAN is generated, so please deactivate the new UAN i.e. XXXXXXXXXXXX and continue the old UAN.
Please suggest whats the procedure to deactivate the new uan no
Awating your reply, kindly suggest.
Vipin-I warn you that never share your personal data on such public platform (I deleted those data). Now regarding your question, you have applied for UAN and now you have to activate it. Refer my post “EPF UAN registration or activation and allotment is now online“.
Sir
Even am having same issue as vipin
I don want to activate the new uan number
How to deactivate it
Arpitha-If you don’t want to activate it, then simply leave it.
I have to link aadhar with my first uan number which is active sir ..wil this process effect it
Arpitha-You have not verified and activated the new UAN. Hence, you try to link Aadhaar with existing active UAN. If you face any issues, then better to do the linking offline.
In the process of linking aadhar with my uan which is active ….I hav clicked online aadhar verified uan allotment …so new uan generated…pls tell me how to link aadhar with my first uan…sir
Dear Sir,
Suppose one employer by over sight UAN generated, but not using this UAN long time, if any problem in future.
Prashant-No problem.
HI, I work at company X since 3 months and will be joining a new firm Y in 1 week. As the experience is less, I haven’t mentioned X to Y. I have my UAN no. generated by X and it is linked with my aadhar no. I have not provided the UAN no. to Y, will the new UAN number will be generated? Will I be in trouble in future? Please guide me through it.
Radhika-It is always best to use the same UAN. Future knowing about your past experience by new employer through UAN is may or may not.

Lakshmi-Request for merger of both UAN to EPFO through your employer.
Sir,
I changed my 1st organization after 6 months of working. In my new organization they did not tell me to submit the previous UAN number and as a result two UAN numbers are generated. Now the issue is that according to my seniors and colleagues it is better to merge the two accounts, however my HR dept. says its better to withdraw the amount from old UAN account and deactivate it. So, as a fresher I am really confused and unaware about the right choice . Can you please suggest the better option.? and How to do it??
Prasad-MERGE.
Thank you Sir
I have two UAN and their respective PF accounts. When i am trying to give the transfer request I am getting the error that “your present employer has not made payment in your PF account”. What should i do? I have to transfer from my old UAN to new UAN. I have bank, Aadhar and pan details in the approved KYC.
Gaurav-Raise the issue with EPFO against your employer.
Hi Basavaraj,
Thanks for the knowledgeable content shared as this is a very common confusion amongst all.
As far as I understand, withdrawal of EPF is taxable if withdrawn with 5 years. In my case, I have 2 UAN and after clubbing the tenure of both the UAN, it is around 6 years. I want to withdraw my EPF now. My query is
(1) should I combine both the UAN before withdrawal OR
(2) should I withdraw them individually
Request you to kindly guide me so that I can easily withdraw my EPF and without any tax implications.
Thanks again
Sony-You can withdraw separately also. Clubbing UAN takes a time.
Thanks for the reply.
In that case would it be taxable if i withdraw it before 5 years?
Sony-Yes.
Sir, I have worked for a vendor company for two months and they have created a UAN number with a EPF account and the EPF money deducted is for only two months.
I am going to join a new company, I don’t want to show my previous employment since it is of very less time.
My questions are
1. Will there be any problem while the new company tries to create a new UAN number?
2. I don’t want claim the money associated with the previous UAN number. Will there be any problem?
I just to get associated with the UAN number.
Note: My previous UAN number is not showing any aadhar details as well as any of the kyc information in epfo portal.
Sir, kindly help
SD-1) NO.
2) NO.
But in future at any time both UAN may be merged by EPFO.
Sir one more thing,
I am not sure whether my previous employer provided my aadhar, pan and bank details while creation of old UAN number. How do I know that information from my side?
And when my new employer wants to create a fresh UAN number, will any clash of information take place due to old UAN number?
Thanks for previous response, Sir.
Please clarify with this issue.
SD-Check KYC stuatus by logging to Unified portal. While creating new UAN there might not be any issue.
While logging in Unified Portal, the KYC feilds are all blank i.e. no pan card, no aadhaar, no bank account number are mentioned.
Therefore, will there be any problem while creating new UAN number?
Dear sir,
1. I was working with organisation which comes under exempted establishment.(Already Allotted UAN).
2. Now I m working with BSNL.(here new UAN Allotted).
Sir I withdraw my PF part but EPS Part is still with old organisation, how it can be added with present service and what about for two no. Activated UAN.
PLEASE SUGGEST
MY contact number is 9413301851
Rajesh-Refer my post above and the comment section of this post.
Sir already I claimed my EPF amount with previous employer with Old UAN.now can I activate my new UAN with new employer without deactivate old UAN.
Vijay-Yes, you can. But better to merge the both.
Hello Sir, I have one problem with my brother’s PF account, He has forgotten his UAN password also lost his registered mobile number
He has only UAN number & PF number, when I go for change password it ask for OTP on registered mobile number.
Sanjay-First you have to update his new mobile number then only proceed for next steps.
Sir, when i go for update mobile no on UAN portal it is showing——-Gender information is not available in the system.
My brother resigned from his last company & new company there is no EPF facility.
Sanjay-He has to update either through last employer or by visiting to concerned EPFO.
Hello Sir,
I want to hide my previous EPF details (UAN is generated but there is No KYC with any documents and employeer has not enter exit date) to current oranization.
I have few question in my mind.
1) So while current organation open my new EPF account they will find out or track my old EPF account ?
2) while create new EPF Is there any restriction based on name or DOB ?
3) I want to block my old account is it possible ?
Thanks
Jeet-You may hide now. But not sure of future when your UAN get merged by EPFO.
3) I want to block my old account is it possible ?
Jeet-How can you block?
I don’t want to that amount it near about 4-5 k Can I delete it.
Jeet-Delete what?
Jeet-You may hide now. But not sure of future when your UAN get merged by EPFO.
Ans: There is no any KYC with my old UAN then how they will merge ?
Jeet-It may happen by any means. Your KYC might not be a single criterion.
Hi,
I tried a lot to find how can I even perform first step of your flow chart. In one of your another articles I found link to OTCP portal but that link is no more reachable.
I found OTCP link under services on http://epfindia.gov.in/site_en/For_Employees.php?id=sm2_index BUT it’s asking to login using UAN. Now the biggest confusion is, which UAN to use for login, old or new? each uan is connected to one epf.
Can I please request you to present latest process for UAN merge/epf transfer? It’s no where in the Internet a complete guide, which is easy to follow.
Chandra-If you are transferring, then use new UAN.
HI
I HAVE 2 UAN . PREVIOUS ONE WAS ACTIVE TILL JUNE 2016. Now I have new UAN . Can I withdraw full money from my previous UAN
Akash-Try your luck. But in my view, it is best to merge the both.
Sir
When I want to link my Aadhar with my PF account, I found that in my profile in PF account, my gender is written as “NOT APPLICABLE”. Hence I received a message that the gender is not matching.
How do I correct the error in the PF account profile.
Thanks
Sir
Small correction in my above post. Instead of “Not applicable” please read as NOT AVAILABLE.
I look forward to your solution, please.
Thanks
Vasudevan-Update the same through your employer.
Thank you sir
Hi,
I have following queries regarding the PF,
1- What if the ‘date of exit’ is not mentioned by past employer due to any reason. Can I still transfer the PF with incomplete details to new PF account. Can new Employer update the Date of Exit for past Employer.
2-If I have two PF accounts in one UAN number, is it possible to withdraw the PF with help from first (Past) Employer rather than Last (Current Employer).
3- Can any company refuse to update the details on PF account/withheld the PF withdrawal or transfer.
4-Please confirm online transfer or withdrawal is to be done through hard copies and with the help of Employer only for the service more than 10 years.
Thanks.
BK
BK-1) Yes it is mandatory to be filled by employer.
2) If you are working, then you can’t.
3) They (employers) don’t have authority to do so.
4) Who said?
Thanks for the reply,
Please let me know what can be done if date of exit is no updated by past employer.
Regards,
Kamlesh
BK-Force them if they not then no option to raise an issue with EPFO.
Hi,
Nice information.
I have two UAN numbers. i can not do online transfer because my pf is maintained in Trust.
So in this case what should be done, like transfer of pf and merging the UAN numbers.
second question is how to check EPS balance and transfer as my pf is maintained by Trust.
I can not see balance of EPS account.
For pf maintained in Trust, balance can be seen in Employer portal not through EPFO site, am i correct?
Jitendra-First try to merge both UAN, then apply for EPF transfer. Regarding EPS balance checking, you can either download passbook or contact EPFO directly. Yes, you can check the balance through employer portal.
Hi,
I have below queries:
1.I have already transferred my EPF account from previous employer to current employer. Both Employer are Trust. Is there any way in future transfer PF in online manner in Trust funds, as i have transferred through offline.While transferring through UAN , it is not allowed to transfer from trust to trust.
2.How do i transfer my EPS money and update the service history in UAN.?
3. Is it better to withdraw EPS money or get the scheme certificate?
Jitendra-1) If both transfer is completed, then as of now no issues. Let us wait for EPFO updated to transfer trust to trust.
2) EPS will follow your EPF. Hence, you no need to worry.
3) Always better to keep EPF and EPS for your retirement.
Hi,
I have transferred my EPF account recently. But pension contribution from my previous EPF account is not transferred to my new account, whereas remaining portions of EPF (Deposit Employee share and Employer share) were successfully transferred. Can you please let me know how to transfer my pension contribution to my new EPF account?
Thanks,
Abhinav
Abhinav-Your EPS will follow the EPF. Also, your EPS will never get transferred. EPFO just update the service records.
I have 2 UAN. I worked with 2 companies.
This dec i am going to join other company.
so can i merge all the 2 in single UAN in my 3rd company or i need to merge 1st with 2nd before joining the 3rd.
Sankar-You can merger even after joining the third company also. But make sure that your third company may not create one more UAN.
true….otherwise he can also merge after leaving the third company.:p
Hi,
I have a unique problem:
Currently I am working in 2 companies at the same time.
1.A Software Company as Regular Full time employee and
2.Part time I am working as an employee in another organization on weekend as tutor.
Due to lack of knowledge I get registered as an employee for my part time job.
I have 2 EPF and 2 UAN numbers currently active.Kindly help me, what should i do now?
Thanks in advance
Ashok-If both employers know about your job status, then request EPFO to merge both UAN.
No,Only Company with part time job is aware of my job status and Regular company do not allow 2 jobs.
Ashok-Then as of now you can continue both UAN (which is not legally right). However, in case in future EPFO merges the both, then you will be in trouble. When they will start and all I am not sure.
I have 2 UAN and when I am trying to transfer my fund from previous to present , it is throwing an alert saying “Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim request cannot be processed.” Can You help me how to Merge my 2 UANS and transfer the fund.
Preetham-Refer my below comments.
Physically I have kept a claim transfer from first PF account (UAN 1)to another PF account (UAN2), the claim transfer got rejected without any reason, Now let me know which process I need to consider.
Transfer fund is not happening , UAN merge is not working.
Preetham-No option but to raise the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Dear Sir,
First of all very very thanks for your guidance.
Sir, I have got MSG from my present employer for PF amount transfer & credited it in my present PF account but my both UAN (Previous & Present Employer) are active, pls guide again How I will merge both in present UAN ? where i raise my complain & through which (Previous or Present Employer)? or I personally raise grievance in EPFO grievanace.
Sanjay-For merger of both UAN, follow above process or refer my earlier comments.
i received an sms as “Your UAN is linked to more than one account in EPFO. You are requested to transfer them to your present account by online or physical application.”. I transferred my pf money to new company 2 years back. as per my knowledge, i have only 1 UAN. How to approach on this. 1800118005 is always busy..

Hi Basvaraj
I have a query. Though I provided my previous UAN number our accountant in the new office generated a new one though I did not ask for it. My previous employer processed my PF as I wanted to withdraw cash as I already have a new UAN and PF #. I also received status on the EPFO website that the claim settled and processed via NEFT. This was on 06/10/2017. Today morning I get an sms saying that my UAN was linked to two accounts in EPFO. Now if I do not wish to transfer, is there a way to claim or only transferring funds in the solution. Please advise.
Regards
Jay
Jayanth-Better to transfer as they are forcing all employees to have one UAN and one EPF.
Hi,
I am writing this in regard of, having two UAN numbers. The first UAN number generated and linked to my previous organization of Lumata Digital India Pvt. Ltd. whereas my second UAN generated and linked with Basware India Pvt. Ltd. (current organization) . Now I have transfer acclaimed which is still pending from Lumata side. I have already submitted form-13 to Lumata and meanwhile I got this message from EPFOHO -> “Your UAN is linked to more than one account in EPFO. You are requested to transfer them to your present account by online or physical application.”
So Kindly suggest what to do in this case as my transferred claim is still pending.
Thanks
Ankit
Ankit-Never share your personal information on such public platforms. First apply for UAN merger, then apply for EPF transfer.
Thanks buddy..

Hi Greetings of the Day,
I have two UANs created by two companies, after reading this article I had tried to transfer funds but showing error that your organization is exempted trust unable to transfer online.
Give me the solution if any…
Krishna-Then request EPFO through your current employer for the merger.
Hi Krishna,
Similar case is with me also, Having 2 UAN numbers & previous employer was having trust so transfer is not happening. If you have any details please share with me as well.
Thank You
Hi ,
I have a query. My previous organization had a UAN number for me which is still active. When I moved to my current organization, I had transferred the PF amount to my new PF account. The current organization have also created a new UAN for me, However the new UAN is inactive. I am moving to a new company in a week and they are asking for my old UAN number, so which UAN do I provide them ?
Mahalingam-Provide anyone but request EPFO through your new employer for merger.
I have 2 UAN nos. I had changed my job in Mar2014, till then UAN was not present. Year later my previous employer created UAN. Meanwhile I had raised transfer request as per old procedure from my New employer to previous employer. Somehow this did not went through.
Later my current employer created another UAN. My Current employer is “TRUST” and hence online transfer is not accepted by EPFO portal.
I have raised double UAN cancellation request online on UAN portal 10 months back, no action is taken yet on this by EPFO.
Please suggest
Vinay-Raise the request to EPFO through your current employer for the merger of both UAN.
Hi,
I worked for 1.5 years with my 1st company and then left it for education purposes. I was unemployed for 1 year during my study period. After this I joined another company with a new PF and UAN. What should I do – Is it advisable to merge the two UANs OR withdraw the balance of my former PF account? I have read that we should ideally merge the UANs and not withdraw PF balance before 5 years to save tax But since there is a gap of 1 year study period, there is a doubt about how the total service period in merged UAN is calculated. Please advise.
Naman-Better to merge.
Hi,
I have a query regarding two UAN generated from two employers. In my 1st UAN two companies Pf accounts are tagged and for both is active as I have not claimed my pf amount. But my 3rd company generated another UAN for me. Now I’m going to join 3th company then which UAN I should provide them. Even my current employer were not aware of the situation so they asked me to give my 1st UAN and 2nd company pf account number to proceed with here. I want to transfer my 2nd UAN and pf accound to my 1st UAN account as i have given details of my 1st UAN to my new company. How can it be done? I will be very much thankful if you guide me and suggest me what I should do now.

Hi Basavaraj,
Greetings.
I am having two UAN accounts.
So far I have changed 3 companies. In 4th company I have been working.
In 1st UAN i have 2 pf accounts( 1st company PF and 2nd company PF)
in 2nd UAN I am having 2 PF accounts( 3rd company PF account and current company PF account)
I would like to know how can i Initiate merging 2 UANs? Can you please tell me the URL?
Is it possible to link all my PF accounts to my current company PF account? Can you please tell me the URL?
Thanks,
Balaji.
Balaji-First you have to request EPFO through your current employer for merging UAN. Once they are merged, then you can do the EPF transfer to current EPF.
Dear Basavaraj,
I am having 2 queries and so I am going to explain my current situation. Please give me your suggestion accordingly.
Let’s say my 1st company was “A”, 2nd was “B” and my 3rd company (current employer) is “C”. Also my UAN is only linked to “C”. I am having a old UAN for “A” but I have a PF=Account number only for “B”. My queries are as follow
1) I worked in A for 10months and then I applied for PF & EPS withdrawal and I received some amount in my bank account. Recently I raised a Grievance to EPFO and they communicated to me that there is still some amount in PF-Account which can be withdrawn by submitting Form-19. My query is that “Can I transfer this amount to PF-Account of C instead of withdrawal” by using Unified-Portal.
2) I worked in B for 5months and then I applied for PF & EPS withdrawal upon suggestion by my employer and I received some amount in my bank account. Recently I raised a Grievance to EPFO and they communicated to me that “the PF-Amount was withdrawn at that time but EPS-withdrawal request was rejected as I worked for less than 6 months”. My query is that “Can I transfer this EPS-Service of “B” into “C” by using Unified-Portal. Also I do not have any UAN for “B” but I am having PF-Account-number.
Regards,
Nitesh S. Gurav
Nitesh-1) YES.
2) YES.
Dear Basavaraj,
Thanks a lot for the update.
Additionally can you please confirm, if I can transfer EPS of “B” into my current UAN using “One Employee One EPF” portal.
Actually I tried to transfer the same using Unified-portal by using PF-Account-number of “B” but I am getting error as “Invalid Present Member ID” and currently the transfer is only working if I have a old-UAN.
Regards,
Nitesh S. Gurav
Nitesh-I am not sure about this. Better you raise the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell.
Hi All,
I have an unique problem I hope, as most of us, I too have 2 UAN created by 2 different employers of mine. After going through many blogs I finally understood how to merge both the UAN so, I thought of doing so through :
https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/otcpMemberInterface/loadTxClaimHome?_HDIV_STATE_=2-11-9D5722D89A8C331EFE81CAAFE656B943
But realised that it has a error “Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim request cannot be processed.” . Because one of them has my name as Sampada Kumari Jain and other as Sampada Jain. How to get it resolved. I request your help her.
Sam-Change the name through your current employer.

Hi,
I worked in a company for 2.5 years and had 1 uan number but after that I changed the company and worked for only 1.5 months wherein I shared my old UAN number and they activated the same but now when i left my 2nd company after 1.5 months they didnot update my last working day with them. I have transferred my old PF amount to the company which I worked for 1.5 months and now I am trying to withdraw it online but it is showing an error that multiple member Id’s found linked to your account.
After seeing this message I was trying to consolidate the account to one account but my new company which I worked for 1.5 months is showing as Invalid credentials when I am mentioning the details about the same.
Please let me know what shall I do I don’t know all is getting confused and even I want to withdraw my pension amount which has not been transfered from my previous employer

Hello Sir. I have two active UANs which I want to merge. But the problem is previous UAN is not KYC updated and new UAN is properly KYC updated. So, what should I do in this case?
1. Inform present employer to process merger through EPFO.
2. Inform EPFO, which I have already done over the mail, but their email facility is not working.
3. Inform my past employer to update KYC, though I am not sure they will help unless I visit Delhi wasting time and money.
Namrajit-Follow the 1st one.
Hi, my new employer has opened new UAN. As suggested by the new employer, I have activated my new UAN and I am now able to login in both old and new UAN. According to them my old UAN will be automatically deactivated in 48 hours but now both of my UAN is currently active. I have transferred my PF amount from my old PF linked in old UAN to my new PF linked in my new UAN. So currently my new PF linked in my new UAN is having all the funds. But still when I check the UAN status, it’s showing the old UAN as my active account. Now I want to get rid of my old UAN. Please help me.
Nilabh-Your employer lied that old UAN get deactivated after 48 hours. The reality is that you have to request EPFO through your employer for the merger of both UAN.
Hi, actually I have 2 uan now I want to merge the uan. In uan I have epf balance of 55k and another uan 70k if I merge the uan how my balance will transfer

Dear Sir,
I have 2 nos. of UAN no’s. but without merge both UAN no. (both UAN activate (one was created by Previous employer & 2nd one is create by present Employer (which is under PF trust))) I had applied for PF transfer & EPF office done this but I want to know that what about my pension, Is it also transfer or not?
Have I done any mistake ? if yes then what I should do now?
My current Employer having PF trust & My previous Employer having EPF & if I will leave job in future then is there any problem in future for transfer from PF Trust to EPF?
Sanjay-EPS will never get transferred. EPFO just update your service records. Hence, you no need to worry.
Very Very Thanks Sir,
What about my second question ?
(My current Employer having PF trust & My previous Employer having EPF & if I will leave job in future then is there any problem in future for transfer from PF Trust to EPF?)
Sanjay-No issues. But it is always best to transfer and keep all your past EPF accounts to be merged with SINGLE.
Dear Sir,
if anyone have two UAN & from old UAN all amount transfer to new UAN after that old UAN will activate or deactivate automatically or I have to inform to EPFO for deactivate old UAN
Sir,

As of now better to inform EPFO through your employer. In future, they merge automatically.
Hi, I have two UAN numbers and i withdrew money from my old UAN number. now my query is can I activate my new UAN number and add KYC or should I merge both my UAN numbers. If it has to be merged how to merge it. In case if I can deactivate my old UAN number how can I do that
how can i deactivate my previous UAN no ?
Pavan-You have to request EPFO through your employer for the merger.
Hi can you tell me how many days it took for you to receive money???
Hi, Am trying to transfer the money of previous employer to new employer, while putting the Member id, am getting error message “Details of previous account are different than present account. Hence claim request cannot be processed” and while putting UAN the error message is “No previous employment details found against this UAN.” Not sure why is the error. Pls advise what needs to be done. Kindly let me kno the EPFO contact details if you are suggest me to contact them for this.

Uday
Uday-Not sure what went wrong. Beter you contact EPFO through EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hi Basav, Can you please help me with some contact details of Grievance cell or EPFO mail id or phone number
Uday-Use their portal.
Hi Basavaraj,
I have two different UANs’ (one from previous company and the other from my present company). I asked my previous employer to transfer the amount in my new UAN (dont know if they would merge). After constant follow-up, my previous employer got back to me that the form has been (17th Aug, 2017) and it takes 1-1.5 months to get this done. However, she mentioned that the form has been submitted and they have nothing more to be done from their end and it is the PF office now. Is this correct?
How am i supposed to know that the amount has been transferred in my new UAN?
I logged into both the accounts but i cannot see anything. Is there a way to check the request?
Kindly guide me as am a bit worried now that it has been sometime now.
Regards,
Indranil
Indranil-First inform EPFO through your current employer for the merger of both UAN. Once they are merged, then apply for online transfer from old EPF to current new EPF.
I also got this error. Later I figured out that “Date of Exit” was not updated in my previous EPF account. That is the reason it was showing “No previous employment details found against this UAN.” As previous EPF is still active. After asking my previous employer to update the “date of exit”, I was able to transfer it to new EPF.
Hope it helps.
Hi,
I have 2 UAN numbers. I had withdrawn PF amount (for 4.5yrs service from previous employer) linked with 1st UAN & this account already setteld as it shows while checking. Now i got another UAN number from new employer.
So my querry is that,
1. shall my 4.5yrs of service consider with new UAN account?
2.What about pension amount linked with old UAN number?
Hemant-1) You already withdrew the amount, then how can they consider that past service linked to that particular EPF?
2) Check, in my view, you withdrew that also.
Dear Sir,
by mistake i forgot to provide my UAN number to new employer and new UAN generated. Now my PF transfer is approved but amount not transfer ed to new account. What should i do?

Hello sir i worked in a company for 4 months and i left the job and i have my pf number on my salary slip with that i my self created UAN numbr bt kyc aadhar etc not updated i saw that only date of joining is available and date of exit is not avilable .Now iam joining new company i told them that i have 1 years of experience in my previous company so if i provide this UAN nbr to the new company is there any chance of tracing my old company details like date of joining and date of exiting etc. If i dont provide UAN nbr they may doubt on me while filling form 11 if i left empty UAN/ PF number . If there is no problem in providing UAN and no chance of getting previous employment details i will fill in form 11. pls help thanq.
Srihari-If you provide now, they will come to know the service records of past employment. If you not provide UAN, then they MAY come to know at later stage. Hard to say whether they will come to know or not.
Hi,
I have 2 UAN nos. one from prev. employer and another with new employer. Now I am joining 3 rd company. I want to give OLD UAN no. just bacause, KYC and everything is updated there. Though I had initiated PF transfer to 2nd employer 6 months back, but, when I check progress, it is nowhere. What do you suggest? I think, I should use UAN which is showing KYC compliant and New UAN is not taking same aadhar and PAN details. I want to use 1st UAN and will later merge 2nd UAN with 1st one. Will that work?
Jay-Use old UAN and then request EPFO through your new employer about the merger of the both.

Hi,
I have two UAN created on my name from previous employer and New employer. I don’t want any employer’s history to be transferred to my new uan. How can I do that?
Amar-Then continue with new UAN. But do remember that EPFO is in the process of merging such multiple UAN numbers allotted to an individual. If that happens, then your employer may know the past.

Hello,
I have two UAN. Employer1 – old UAN and Employer2 – new UAN. Currently I’m working with Employer2. I don’t want to transfer my amount from old UAN to New UAN. And fyi, I have completed 5 years of service. Now I want to withdraw the money from my old UAN.
Am I eligible to withdraw the money from my old UAN.
Manoj-You may not intend to transfer, but as per rule, you have to merge both. Also, if you are currently working, then you can’t withdraw EPF.
Thank you for that quick response.
But for Rohit Kataria scenario[Aug 24], it seems like one can withdraw… Rohit too has joined another company and he was able to withdraw… May be I understood Rohit’s scenario wrongly… So could you please clarify on Rohit’s case and my case.
@Manoj kalaimani :- We both are in the same boat. Both have the similar case.
@Basavaraj Tonagatti :- Please suggest how can we withdrawn amount from my previous company PF account.
Rohit-Legally if you are in job, then you can only transfer but can’t withdraw.
Manoj-I said the rules rest left with you.
Thank you. Once I merge my accounts, will try to do advance withdrawals… How much one can take advance claims? any idea…
Manoj-It depends on your requirement and also for specific purpose like health issues, marriage or property purchase.
Thanks Again. will check to that.:)
Who told if you are currently working we can not withdraw the PF? It is possible
Ajeesh-Check with EPFO rules, then you will come to know who told 🙂
Ek he mobile number se do Uan activate hai Old uan sE paise nikal Liya hai Lekin kyc update hai dusra uan bhi usi number me activate hai Lekin kyc update nahi ho rahi hai muje kya krna chahiye
Ramashankar-First you have to request EPFO through your current employer for the merger of both.
Hello Sir,
As suggested by you, I have opted for second option to merge two UAN’s. EPF team rejected my claim saying its already settled.
In my case duplicate UAN just has service history and not the PF amount as its already transferred to my account and at that time they didn’t transferred service history along with it.
Now I end up with having two UAN’s.
1. one with with service history and
2.other with present employer details and amount.
Kindly help me how can i go forward?
Thanks,
Sakthi
Sakthi-Don’t worry, they merge it soon.
Hi,
I am planning to work at 2 places simultaneously and will have 2 PF numbers simultaneously. Also have 2 UAN numbers and planning to provide the older UAN to my new employer so that they won’t realize I am already working. Is there a problem with this? Can I please have your contact details to discuss on this further? I am ok even if it is a paid advice
Ramesh-As per law, one employee must have only one UAN. Check with your both employers at first and then jump.
Hello sir,
Recently I joined the new company(Lets say B) and they are asking me to fill the form 11 with all the previous company(Lets say A) PF and UAN number. But I want to withdrawn the amount from my PF account as I have requested to my previous employer(A).
Do I need provide the my old PF and UAN number to new Company and let them open a new PF and UAN. Please suggest.
Rohit-Provide the old EPF and UAN.
Thanku for quick response.
I have few more question sir:-
1) I hope it won’t affect my withdrawal request.
2) I have also completed 5 years of employment. Do I am eligible to withdrawal of my complete PF balance without any deduction.
Rohit-1) May be or may not be.
2) YES.
@Basavaraj Tonagatti :- I just noticed in form- 11,It is mentioned that form-11 may be considered for the transfer of funds from previous Employer to new employer.
So I think, I should not provide the my previous PF and UAN as I wanted to withdrawn amount instead of transfer and let them open a new PF and UAN.
I hope it won’t create any issue in future. Please suggest if I am missing something.
Rohit-It will not create the problem.

Dear Sir,
I had left the last organisation and recently joined new organisation , but due to some software issues, my new company has created one more UAN no. .
For new UAN no. KYC has been done.
For old UAN no. NO KYC has been done, and my last employer is not helping me in anyway.
Please suggest how to transfer the last PF amount to new UAN account as Aadhaar Card and NO other KYC is linked.
Thank you
Mohit-You have to request EPFO through your current employer for the merger of both UAN. Once they merged, then try to transfer.
Hi Mr. Basavaraj Tonagatti,
I have got 2 different UAN numbers when i switched my company during last year in Nov-Dec 2016.
However at the time of Switch i provided my earlier UAN #1 to my organization but still a New UAN #2 has been allocated to me for new PF account.
The reason shared by my employer is : “At the implementation of new Version 2 (software), PF department had allotted new UAN to all his subscribers by default.”
My current employer suggested me:
Now you need to fill Form 13(in hard copy) for transfer of amount from old PF no to new PF no.”
But now i am again switching my company, UAN # 1 (Has greater amount of 7 years PF) and UAN #2 (Has lesser amount of around 9 months).
Can you please suggest if I can share my UAN#1 in the new organization which i am going to join in few days ?
and later can request for merge from UAN #2 to UAN #1 ?
Please also suggest a simple and quick way to merge the UANs as well.
Regards,
Ashwani
Ashwani-In my view share either UAN 1 or 2. But request EPFO through your employer for the merger of the both.
Thanks for your quick response Basavaraj!
With the below comment, you are suggesting which employer ?
“Request EPFO through your employer for the merger of the both”
Do you mean that i should ask my new employer upon joining or should ask the employer which i am going to leave in few days. ?
Ashwani-Better new employer.
I have transferred my previous PF to new employer. After that i resigned from the other company and now settled in Auckland. But i still get the error : “Multiple member-id’s found linked to your UAN. Kindly transfer all to current member-id before proceeding.” when i try to initiate a cliam.
Based on the error if i try to initiate a transfer it gives me another error “Online claim request cannot be processed as :-
Present employer has not made payment in your PF account.”
My UAN is same for both the accounts and my account had been transferred. Could you please advise
Raksha-It may be due to an issue with the employer. Raise the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell online.

I am also facing the same problem. Is your issue sorted out? If so will you please tell me what to do to solve this?

As far as i know, you can withdraw for certain causes.

My problems are
