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 caseswhere 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.

Aditya
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
Utkarsh Sahni
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Utkarsh,
Your EPS will follow the EPF. If you still have doubt, then raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell.

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.

Anu Chechi
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Anu,
Yes, you can try withdrawing separately.

Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Shubham,
“So will there be any problem later while claiming my new UAN amount?”-NO.

Rajesh
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Rajesh
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Rajesh,
If both the UANs are merged, then they consider both the EPF accounts service history.
Rajesh
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Rajesh,
Then too they consider both the EPF details and consider for eligibility.
Srihari
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.

# If I do not withdraw now , can I withdraw at the time of retirement.

Dear Sir
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.

Hi Basavaraj,

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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Rahul,
If you are currently employed, then you are not allowed to withdraw EPF.
PRANAV RAKHEJA
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Nancy
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 ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.”
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Niks,
Apply for the EPF transfer through your employer.

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.

NO.
Kumar
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Kumar,
You have to request for merger of UAN.
Vasanth
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Vasanth,
It takes some time. Better to wait.

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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Vasanth
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Vasanth,
Not required.
Murthy
Hi,

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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Naresh,

Pavan
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!!!!!
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.

Vasanthraja
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Vasanthraja,
You first request for merger of both UAN.
Vasantharaja
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Vasantharaja,
Your employer is correct.

Sam
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Sam,
Refer my earlier comments in this regard.
Umaira
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Umaira,
You better can withdraw the employer-provided UAN easily as now Aadhaar is not mandatory to link UAN.
umaira
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Umaira,
Linking Aadhaar to UAN is not mandatory.
umaira
even for the online process of withdrawal?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Umaira,
Yes.

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

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

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.

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
Azhar Khan
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Azhar,
In that case, you are not allowed to withdraw.
Azhar Khan
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Azhar,
MAY OR MAY NOT BE.
Azhar Khan
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Sonal
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Indranil
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Indranil,
Transfer has been initiated and you have to wait for EPFO approval.
Indranil
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.

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.

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

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)?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nani-Sadly it is not possible. However, raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.

Aditi Bhaduri
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Aditi-Better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Aditi
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Aditi-Great to know this. So your issue resolved?
Aditi Bhaduri
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
PRAMOD

Basavaraj Tonagatti
Pramod-You can only merge them but can’t deactivate.
Sohan Shah
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sohan-Raise the request for merger through your employer to the EPFO.

If your earlier EPF is managed by your employer trust, then you can’t see the same. Hence, better check the status.
BK
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
MANJUNATHAN.S
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Manjunathan-You can’t close but can only merge both.
Sai Kiran
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
Sai Kiran
Just for a Heads up. Im confused alot though I read the above comments and posts.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.

Amit Singh
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 .
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Amit-If your UAN numbers are merged, then as per me, transfer old UAN to new one and then request for withdrawal.
Amit Singh
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Amit-If both are not merged yet, then withdraw separately.
Amit Singh
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Amit-If taxation is your major concern, then you have to wait.
Rohan Sharma
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rohan-It may or may not.
Sohan Shah
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sohan-The only option is to merge both UAN.
Sohan Shah
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sohan-Sadly as of now NO.
Sohan Shah
Thanks Basava!!!
Sohan
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sohan-Request EPFO through your employer for the same.

Manasa Ravishankar
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Manasa-Why not you use the online portal of EPFO Grievance Cell Online?

Kanika-1) Left with you.
2) May be or may not be.
3) Hard to say.
Mark Benson
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

jitendra
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Rahul
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.

Saravana
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Saravana-Use first method.

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 on which UAN number I can check my passbook and how?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Devendra-Your EPF account is linked with first UAN. Hence, you have to check your details from first UAN.
Devendra
Thank you so much sir
Swapnila Arora
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Siva
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?

Amara
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!!
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Amara-In my view first request EPFO through your current employer for the merger of both, then go for EPF transfer.

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

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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Jagadeesh
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Jagadeesh-It is due to not depositing money by your employer. Better you discuss this issue with your employer.
Jagadeesh
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Jagadeesh-If they not heed your request, then raise a complaint against them with EPFO.
Jagadeesh
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
ankush
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 🙂
Srinivas
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.
shyam
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.
SURYANARAYANAN G
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Suryanarayanan-I think if you have not activated it, then just leave it like that. Instead, inform your employer for verifying the KYC.
ankush
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 🙂

Akash Jain
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

Saraswathi-I said EPFO will merge such multiple UAN numbers on it’s own in near time.

Dear Sir
I left my previous organisation M/s XXX on 08.10.16 , where i had UAN with PF no. attached to it.
I joined M/s YYY on 13.10.16 and was provided new UAN with new PF no. attached to it.
My online transfer claim with id 999105051703300081230 was approved on 18.04.16 by YYY but inspite of repeated follow ups and persuasions , i am still able to see two different account statements and my previous accumulations have not been transferred to the new UAN/PF.

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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vijay-Refer my replies to the same doubts.
jaanvi
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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
vipin

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??
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Prasad-MERGE.
Prasad
Thank you Sir

Basavaraj Tonagatti
Gaurav-Raise the issue with EPFO against your employer.
SONY
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sony-You can withdraw separately also. Clubbing UAN takes a time.
SONY
Thanks for the reply.
In that case would it be taxable if i withdraw it before 5 years?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sony-Yes.
SD
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
SD-1) NO.
2) NO.
But in future at any time both UAN may be merged by EPFO.
SD
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
SD-Check KYC stuatus by logging to Unified portal. While creating new UAN there might not be any issue.
SD
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?

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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Jeet-You may hide now. But not sure of future when your UAN get merged by EPFO.

Jeet Sharm

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.
Chandra
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Chandra-If you are transferring, then use new UAN.
Akash nair

D.Vasudevan
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
D.Vasudevan
Sir
Small correction in my above post. Instead of “Not applicable” please read as NOT AVAILABLE.
I look forward to your solution, please.
Thanks
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vasudevan-Update the same through your employer.
Vasudevan D
Thank you sir
BK
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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?
Bk
Thanks for the reply,
Please let me know what can be done if date of exit is no updated by past employer.
Regards,
Kamlesh
Basavaraj Tonagatti
BK-Force them if they not then no option to raise an issue with EPFO.
jitendra muduli
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
jitendra
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Abhinav
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Abhinav-Your EPS will follow the EPF. Also, your EPS will never get transferred. EPFO just update the service records.
sankar
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sankar-You can merger even after joining the third company also. But make sure that your third company may not create one more UAN.
anusri
true….otherwise he can also merge after leaving the third company.:p
Ashok
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ashok-If both employers know about your job status, then request EPFO to merge both UAN.
Ashok
No,Only Company with part time job is aware of my job status and Regular company do not allow 2 jobs.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.

Jayanth C
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Jayanth-Better to transfer as they are forcing all employees to have one UAN and one EPF.
Ankit
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ankit-Never share your personal information on such public platforms. First apply for UAN merger, then apply for EPF transfer.
Ankit
Thanks buddy..

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 ?

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.
Naman
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Naman-Better to merge.
Md Shadab Asim
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.
Thanks in advance,
Md Shadab Asim

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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Nitesh S. Gurav
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nitesh-1) YES.
2) YES.
Nitesh S. Gurav
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.

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.

Nilabh Verma
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.

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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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?)

Indranil
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Ashish
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.

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.

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?

Am I eligible to withdraw the money from my old UAN.

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?

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.

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.

Ashwani
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

Thanks for your quick response Basavaraj!
With the below comment, you are suggesting which employer ?

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. ?

Based on the error if i try to initiate a transfer it gives me another error “Online claim request cannot be processed as :-

UDay Singla
Hi,
I have joined new organisation and given them my previous UAN number. However I would want to withdraw my PF money of Previous organisation, but EPF website is giving me error message “Multiple member-id’s found linked to your UAN”, how do i withdraw PF money of previous organisation.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Uday-You are not allowed to withdraw EPF as you are currently in job.
uday
I want to withdraw old pf money not the new one.. Have got two different account number…but UAN is same. There is an option in epf website.. Transfer and claim online…
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Uday-This is what I am saying. You are not allowed to withdraw but can transfer.
Nasir
As far as i know, you can withdraw for certain causes.
Hareeka
Hi,
I have two activated UAN nos corresponding to two PF account no’s.
My problems are
1.While updating AADHAR card details in my current EPF it is failing with error that
“Aadhaar authentication failed. AADHAAR number, Name, DOB or Gender mismatch with registered data” as my surname and name are in opposite in my UAN(SAME as PAN NAME) and AADHAR
2.Name in first UAN is not matching with my PAN Name or AADHAR Name.
Please help me out on what to do to have only one EPF account and One UAN .
thanks.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Hareeka-First you have to request for merger of both UAN. Once they merge, then request for correction and Aadhaar linking through your employer.
Hareeka
Thanks for the reply Basavaraj.
Please guide me on how to transfer the PF from my old PF account to the new one.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Hareeka-Refer my latest post “How to transfer EPF online using EPF Unified portal?“.
nitish
i have two uan and two pf accounts. when i login to old one the text message shows (member id pertain to exempted establishment pf balance service is not available for trust)
1.how to merge both uan?
2.how to link both pf accounts ?
3.which should be done first
4.can i do it own because new employer is not helping
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nitish-You no need to link EPF but you have to request EPFO through your employer for merging both UAN.
Santosh
Hi,
I have two separate PF accounts under single UAN no. PF1 and PF2 are my previous employers and currently am in new company where I haven’t received my PF Acc yet. How can I withdraw my both PF1 and 2 amounts?
Appreciate the quick help on this.
Thanks,
Santosh
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Santosh-If you are working currently, then you are not allowed to withdraw.
Santosh
I am currently working in different company i.e., not in PF1 or PF2, last working on my both previous companies crossed 2months
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Santosh-In my view it is best to transfer to your current company. You have to approach your past employers for withdrawal. IF KYC is done for both accounts with UAN, then you can apply online.
Santosh
thanks.
Pravin Survase
Hi ,
I am having two UAN numbers, both are activated .So I submitted online transfer claim to transfer my PF amount from my previous PF(UAN) to my current PF (New UAN)account 3 months before through http://memberclaims.epfoservices.in/index.php website. But right now this website is not working so I am unable to see my transfer claim status.
I tried using https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/ website but this website shows that I have not submitted any claim. So what should I do?
Also I am unable to add KYC details in my 2nd UAN, it got successfully added in my 1st UAN.So should I tell my current company to add my KYC details from their side ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Pravin-Raise the issue online with EPFO Grievance Cell.
Pravin Survase
Hi ,
I raised my issue to EPFO Grievance Cell by uploading Annexure k document which I received from my previous employer. Now PF got transferred to my current company.

Umesh S
Hi,
I am in a situation where, 3 UAN no’s are generated.
Problem is explained below
1) My current employer is my 4th company.
2) I transferred the 1st and 2nd company PF to 3rd company PF. But the 3rd company did not processed my transfer and currently I have left the 3rd employer. Generated online form , signed and submitted to 3rd company.
3) UAN generated are for 2nd(100395653417), 3rd (100857032356) and 4th company (100952541434).
4) Due to employer negligence my 2nd and 3rd company DOB is incorrect.
5) Now I want to consolidate all my PF account to my current employer.
6) I tried all possible scenarios through online but not able to do so.
Please assist me with the above request. Whether it is possible to do so, I know last resort is to withdraw PF money but I don’t want to withdraw my savings
Your help will be much appreciated.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Umesh-Request your current employer to send request to EPFO for merger of all UAN numbers.
Umesh S
One more request, If I request my current employer to UAN Merger does my balance will get transfer ??
Thanks,
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Umesh-If you have one UAN under which even if you have multiple EPF accounts, then you no need to worry about transfer.

Hi,
I want to withdraw PF money of my first company , that time UAN no. concept was not there so I just have PF no. of my first company. Now I’m trying to link that PF account with my current UAN no. in order to transfer or withdraw money , but i’m unable to do that.
Please somebody tell me what is the procedure?
I have below details with me->

shabrin
Hi ,
I have been working in my previous company for 2 years and i had a UAN for that pf account ,but i moved from that company to other and am working since 1 and half years I didnot provide my UAN number on my joining. When discussed i was told to create a new UAN and merge with the old UAN. Now my query is if I need to withdraw my PF for the purchase of a property will it be possible. If so how can I do it.
purnima gupta
Dear sir,
My query is that i was working with a company which has already created my UAN but now i got selected in another PSU as a fresher hiding my experience. so can i ask my new company to generate new UAN without telling about my previous UAN and if yes then is there any risk involve in that bcoz this job matters a lot for me.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Purnima-Yes, you can do so. However, the EPFO is in the process of merging such multiple UAN into one.
Joe

Ritesh Patnaik
Hi Sir,
I need your urgent help.
I had quit my previous organisation after serving them for 6 years. I wanted to withdraw my PF and was trying to opt for the online claim process. Due to some error on the online claim process I had to visit the epfo office and get my UIDAI verified and then I was asked to wait for 15 days . then again I went back as I still could not access it, they asked me to wait for another 10 days. After 10 days I went back and EPFO office and the guy said I need to re-authenticate again.
Meanwhile I got a job in another organisation, here I was asked whether I will merge my previous PF or withdraw it. I informed them that I will withdraw it. Now I get the following error ” Multiple member-id’s found linked to your UAN. Kindly transfer all to current member-id before proceeding”.
How do I withdraw my PF ?
Please help
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ritesh-You are not allowed to withdraw.
Ritesh Patnaik
Sorry, Didn’t understand. I am not allowed to withdrwa at all from my previous organisations EPF account ?
Ritesh Patnaik
I absolutely need my PF Money. Can I merge the two and then apply for withdrawal ? if yes- Then what should I do.
Kindly help
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ritesh-Because as per rule, you are not allowed to withdraw when you are in job.
Priya
Hi,
I have jumped multiple jobs and I am not sure how many UAN numbers I might have. I atleast know of 2 UAN numbers, 1 from one of my previous employer(Employer A) and 1 from my last employer(Employer B).
I am currently not employed for a year and want to withdraw some money. I have activated the UAN of employer A and also reached out to him to file a withdrawal. Will there be any issues here? Does the existence of another UAN matter while withdrawing a previous UAN amount. Kindly advice. Thanks.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Priya-If such multiple UAN numbers not merged, then you can withdraw.
Daljit Singh
Hi Basavaraj, I seek a little more clarification when you mentioned How to merge or deactivate two UAN numbers? In my case I have two UAN numbers, one which I already activated myself when I was working with my first company and the second one which the second company created for me even though I had shared my previous UAN number with the company to link it. Now the problem is, I had already withdrawn my PF amount which I had with my first company. Since I want to merge both the UANs and deactivate the old UAN which I had created myself could you please suggest any way how to proceed with this since I am quite confused if I am supposed to file for EPF transfer from previous EPF account to the new EPF account which makes no sense because I have already withdrawn it.
I want all my service history epf details under one account. Please suggest.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dalijit-It’s alright, you can still go ahead and request for the merger.
ruchi agarwal
I have downloaded my EPF account passbook but it showing me update only from Jan 2014 onwards. However it is not showing for my previous two firms and I had transferred from one firm to another and then to other. a) Is there a way I can check the balance of my PF with just the PF number because there was no UAN number at that time , this is in 2011.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ruchi-My earlier post “Check EPF (Employee Provident Fund) balance through Mobile Phone SMS” may be helpful for you. If you still unable to check, then better to contact the nearest EPFO for the same.

Shoaib
Hello,
Since a year back I am not working with any organization, I live in Bangalore. Due to mix-up I have ended up with two UAN’s the first one has major chunk of my contribution spread many years until 2014, and the second one which is newer has contribution for a year till 2016. The second UAN, was issued in Mumbai. Since I am not working with any of these organizations using the second method can I transfer the EPF of the second UAN (the recent one ) to the Previous UAN ? The reason for this are, the older one has all the KYC and other formalities completed and moreover its in Bangalore where I reside .
Is this possible ? or do I have to move from older UAN to new UAN
Thanks
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Shoaib-Request for the merger of both UAN.
Shoaib
Since I am not actively employed in PF covered organization, what is the process ? I would prefer merging the new UAN into the old .. How do i go about doing this.
Thanks
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Shoaib-Whatever it is, you can approach the current employer or the EPFO for merger.

Basavaraj Tonagatti
Prabhu-I don’t think there are any concerns from EPFO. But check with your employers. Because they both will come know about your employment.
Murgan
Respected Sir,
my previous employer is giving negative reviews. So, I am not displaying that experience in my resume.
My first EPF and UAN number was created by this previous employer only.
So, I dont want money associated with this account.
My current employer is asking to provide UAN else they will create a new account.
My PAN no, Aadhar no is not linked to this UAN
1.) Is it okay if i go ahead with creating new UAN with current employer?
2.)Will it create any problem in future (given i dont want money associated with this account, so I dont need any UAN merger in future and my PAN and Aadhar are not linked)
3.)can i use the same mobile no and email id (used for creating the first uan) to create the second one?
4.)If your answer to 3rd question is No, then can i update my mail id and mobile no both on the epf member portal to different mobile no and mail id and after that i can make use of the mobile no and mail id which was earlier used to create the first UAN to create the second one?
for 4th question ex:-first uan–>mobile no-9999988888
email-xyz@gmail.com
suppose i changed the mobile no and email associated with first uan
first uan–>mobile no-2222233333
email-abd@gmail.com
now can i create second UAN with mobile no 9999988888 and mail id xyz@gmail.com
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks,
Murgan
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Murgan-1) YES. 2) As per me, NO. 3) NO. 4) YES.
SRIKANTH S
Hi,
I had struck in complex issue.
I have Two Number. Let it OLD on “A” and NEW on “B”
in “A” UAN, my first employer, i got all my pf and all. Its still active.
I joined a new concern, where they gave another UAN no “B”.
But in “B” UAN, they forgot to feed “GENDER”details &all. HR not replying… “B” also active.
I just want to know whether i can merge “B” uan to “A” uan ?
Bcoz, all my KYC details are perfect in that UAN.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Srikanth-Inform your employer about both and let them request EPFO for the merger.
GLakshman
I had already UAN but my second company generated the new UAN number without asking me, So now I have 2 UAN numbers.

I need your help to withdraw the first UAN account money if I withdraw the money from first UAN, will they update the first Withdraw information in second UAN account? like member id… and how will they track withdraw information in second UAN account?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Lakshman-How can with your money withdrawal will make that to update to second UAN? In my view, EPFO will not allow withdrawing money. Try your luck.
GLakshman
Thanks for the valuable reply.
1.You mean to say -EPFO can not update my first UAN withdrawal information in second(current) UAN?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Lakshman-It may be in future.
GLakshman
Ok, thanks. is it possible to contact you via phone call?
Satish Kumar Dhiman

Boopathi
my new employer failed to link the new PF account to existing UAN. Now i have two UAN And two pf accounts. Now i want to merge the old PF account to new one. Bt my questions is i have two UAN which one i will follow. If Merger is possible Please explain in Detail.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Bhoopathi-Use the current UAN and let your employer request EPFO for the merger of both UAN.
Bikram Shah
I have two UAN numbers. My previous employer didn’t inform me that UAN is allocated for me. When I switched job My current employer asked me to provide UAN from previous employer if not one will be created for you. So, I enquired so many times through email , phone but after not getting response from my previous employer I instructed my current employer to create new UAN. But later I came to know that already there was UAN allocated for me from my previous employer. Now the UAN from my current employer is having mistake in my Father’s name and also the PF amount is not getting deposited to EPFO instead it’s deposited in their Trust. But by PF amount from previous employer was deposited in EPFO and there is no mistake in UAN from previous employer. Now I am again switching job so my new employer is asking me UAN so I am not able to decide which UAN I should provide, or I should cancelled one of the UAN provide the other UAN. Please guide & help me !!!!!
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Bikram-You can give anyone UAN and inform them that by mistakenly two UAN were created for you. They complete some formality for you and request to EPFO for the same. But correcting the UAN details is important. Hence, better to give second UAN and later on correct the names through your employer.
Bikram Shah
Thank you Very Much for Replying !!!!
Sir, You suggested me to give my 2nd UAN to my new employer(3rd employer),
But what about the PF amount which is linked to the 1st UAN(From previous employer).
And also how can we update the UAN details through EPFO as current employer is not responding(This is case for one of my friend).
Please suggest.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Bikram-Request your employer to merge the UAN numbers. The only option as of now to update is through employer as UAN Helpdesk is not working.
Jayanta
Hi Sir,
I have transferred my all amount from old Epf account to new account 1 year back.
But now while trying for partial withdrawal through online service it ‘s showing below error :
“Multiple member-id’s found linked to your UAN. Kindly transfer all to current member-id before proceeding.”
Please help me on this.
Regards
Jayanta
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Jayanta-You have to transfer all your past EPF accounts to single account.
Jayanta
I have already transferred all money to new EPF account But still old EPF account showing on UAN Portal.
Is that cause this issue ? If Yes please tell me how can remove old EPF account from my UAN Portal ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Jayanta-If you already transferred, then it will not create any issue.
Shailendra
I am also facing same problem already transferred old pf to current epf account but still same problem is coming, already raised the issue to EPF grievance cell also, but there is no response since 1 month.
When contacted to EPFO then they are telling that I have to claim offline.
I don’t know when they have launched the online service then why I have to claim it offline.
there customer care no. is also not responding always busy.
can you help?
Joe
Same problem with me. Did you find any solution
Nishant
Sir, on my online PF passbook for previous UAN, interest credited is till 31st March 2016 only (my DOE from past employer/UAN was Feb 2015).
is it that interest should not be credited against this amount ? I feel it should.
before applying for OTCP to merge UANs, I want to be sure of this.
pl suggest.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nishant-It will be credited. They have not updated the passbook.
Lavanya
Hello Basavaraj,
Thank you for the details write up on UAN. The email id mentioned (uanepf@epfindia.gov.in) isn’t working I believe. It bounced back.
Have couple of questions:
1. I have two UAN’s and two PF”s. My current org isn’t reflecting in EPF website as they maintain PF under trust. So am unable to merge the duplicate UAN.
2. I worked in Chennai 9 years back and that organization is no more now. But my PF is with Chennai RO. How do I withdraw that. If I were to transfer it to my current employer PF, they dont reflect in EPF website.
Please Suggest
Lavanya.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Lavanya-1) Trust or whatever it is, you still can go ahead and merge and request for the same through your employer. There is nowhere it is written that trust can’t use the non-trust EPF or UAN.
2) You have to apply in Chennai itself. But try to identify in EPFO portal and request for online transfer.
Rupesh
Hi Sir
I am in a big problem. I resigned from a company and left it without relieving or experience letter. I don’t want my upcoming company to know about it in background check. I didn’t activate my UAN from previous company and I also checked on EPFO site under ‘Know Your UAN’ that my PAN number is not associated with any UAN. It says ‘entered information does not match with any member’. I will present to my company as if it is the first company I am joining and wouldn’t reveal any information. Now can they find out about my previous employment. It is a bad past and don’t want it to spoil my future. Thanks in advance.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rupesh-I can’t guarantee. Try your luck.
rupesh
Hi Sir
I want to withdraw PF without my PAN showing on EPFO site. Rite now my PAN is not linked? to any UAN account. Is it possible to withdraw without not getting noticed on EPFO for my last job
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rupesh-Now PAN is mandatory.
Akshay
Hi,
My current company has decided to make EPF compulsory now. I had not opted for EPF since 2010. I had an EPF account with my previous employer in 2010 and after that I never opted for EPF in other organizations and as I said my current employer has made it mandatory now I don’t know what should I do. I was checking my previous EFP account and it seemed to in-operative. Should I make it operative and transfer the same . or should I take a new UAN account.
Also read somewhere that EPF is not mandatory if one’s basic salary is more than 15,000. is it true ?
Please guide me what should I do?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Akshay-Use the same EPF. Yes, if your Basic+DA is more than Rs.15,000, then you can opt out of EPF (before the start of EPF with your new employer).
Akshay
Thank you Basavraj
Girish A
Dear Basavaraj,
My query is not different than other queries for which you have already replied.
But still need some more details and help on how to resolve 2 UAN issue.
I was working with a company from 2009 to Oct 2016 (almost for 7 years). Then I joined another organization in Oct 2016 and provided them the UAN of my first organization. I left that organization in 6 months and joined the current organization recently. At the time of joining this organization I noticed that previous organization had generated a new UAN altogether. I am not sure why they did not consider the UAN which I already provided to them.
Now in the current organization they have linked the PF account to the UAN of my second employer. But this UAN I have not activated (online ) yet.
Now I already have good contribution of PF amount in my first UAN and not much in second UAN.
Please advise me the steps which I need to take up.
1. Shall I activate second UAN? If I do so, what will happen to the first UAN and the to the PF amount accrued with this UAN?
2. How do I make sure to bring all my PF contribution to only one UAN ?
3. How to deactivate one UAN and which do I deactivate?
4. Procedure to deactivate the UAN ?
Thanks in advance!
Girish
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Girish-1) Activate second UAN and request EPFO (through your current employer) for merger of both.
Girish A
Thanks for you reply Sir.
1. Now, I have 3 PF accounts with 2 UANs (One with First org linked to UAN1, other one with second org linked to UAN2 and the current account created by current employer linked with UAN2).
If I request for merger of the UANs, how will I get the balance of previous two pf accounts into current PF account.
2. To activate the new UAN, I suppose it will not take the same mobile number which I used for first UAN. Do I need to use other mobile number or is there any way to continue with same mobile?
3. Name on both UANs is different. Second UAN include My Father’s full name and First UAN only initial.
Will it cause any issues during transfer of PF amount from first UAN to Second?
Please suggest me the procedure on how to tacke above 3 issues.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Girish-1) When all UAN numbers get merged, then the EPF accounts under all those UAN numbers will be available under one UAN.
2) Use the mobile which you are using now.
3) It may create. Hence, correction is also required. Be in touch with your current employer for the same.
Nikhil W
Hi,
I am having old UAN no. which is still active and not made any transaction from last 8 months.
My New Employer has created new UAN for PF account. Also, merging two UAN’s is not yet activated by EPFO.
What should I do in this case, shall I activate new UAN with other mobile no. and withdrawal Old UAN balance.
My old Employer suggest to withdraw as new UAN is already created and already 8 months passed.
Need you valuable thoughts….
Thanks a lot.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nikhil-Legally you can’t withdraw but request for merger of the both.
Nikhil W
Ok. I agree with not to withdrawal.
But For merger also, EPFO link should work..
I have not yet activated 2nd UAN yet. Shall I activate it?
Thanks
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nikhil-YES.
Nikhil W
Thanks Basavraj….
so, Shall I create with Same mobile no. or other….
Thanks
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nikhil-Better with same.
Nikhil W
Thanks Basavraj….

Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nikhil-You can do the same through your employer.
Vin
HI, I left my previous employer during bond period. They have assigned me a UAN. Since i left the company in between, they didn’t give me experience letter. Now i am going to join a company as a fresher. and i have not mentioned my experience. So should i give my UAN to new company after telling truth or they will generate a new UAN.? waiting for your reply.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vin-Better to tell the truth and share old UAN.
Vin
thank you..but it won’t affect my job right?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vin-I think so.
Vin
means it will affect?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vin-NO.

Sanjay Tiwari
Respected Sir,

Nelson
I have two questions:
1) If a person has two UAN than does previous UAN and PF account under it gets inactivated as he is not making any transaction in it?
2) Is interest gets calculated on the EPF account with previous UAN?
Nelson
Awaiting for your valuable reply.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nelson-1) They get merged into ONE.
2) Interest will be on EPF account balance. UAN is jut to track all your EPF details.
Nelson
Thanks lot:)
Ravinder Kumar
I have two UAN numbers and tried to deactivate old one through all means. Neither my employer is taking responsibility nor EPFO is responding to the emails or phone calls. I have transferred my PF from old account to new one but old UAN is still active. please let me know the process to deactivate my old UAN.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ravinder-Let the old UAN be like that. Use the existing new UAN for future. They will automatically merge at later stage.
Ravinder Kumar
Thanks for your reply Basavaraj…
The only concern is that in case of PF withdrawal it would not create any problem and not able to register my primary mobile number as it is already registered with old one.

Sir, I have a doubt. I have a previous PF membership at Mumbai from where PF amount is withdrawn and Scheme Certificate is allotted. UAN was not there at that time. In my present company, I have another, running PF number and UAN. Now, how can I merge my previous scheme certificate into the present UAN? I tried to do it online, unsuccessfully. Please help.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Suresh-If both EPF accounts merged and under same UAN, then you no need to worry.
Nishant
Hi,
Plz clarify, whether the mobile number linked with old UAN shall also be shifted automatically to be linked with new UAN after merger of both the old UAN and new UAN.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nishant=Mobile numbers will not be merged. But the new UAN will carry your updated UAN details.
Nishant
I still have to initiate merging process of two UAN, kindly suggest on following two confusions :
1. Whether to fill Form 13 and submit to employer or should opt for online process.
2. Can I activate my new UAN on online epfo portal with a different mobile number or should wait till merger completes.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nishant-1) Better online process 2) Wait till merger completes.
Changdeo
Hi, I am going through same situation, new employer has created another UAN. The online transfer portal is not working since long time. Can you please suggest if there is any other way to initiate transfer claim

Naazneen Banu Hayath Basha
Hello Sir,
I have 2 UAN .
1. First UAN is my previous company which is Exempted one So PF has been maintained by them TRUST with my correct Full name (Naazneen Banu Hayath Basha and my dad name Hayath Basha S) and pension has been maintained by EPFO office
Now this UAN card has my short name as Naazneen Banu H and dad name as Hayath S but PF slip has my correct full name
2. 2nd UAN is my present company one which is unexempted so both PF and Pension is maintained by EPFO regional office office and it has my correct full name in both UAN and PF slip as
Naazneen Banu Hayath Basha
Hayath Basha S
Just a recall
Old company PF slip — Naazneen Banu Hayath Basha , Hayath Basha S
Old company UAN card — Naazneen Banu H, Hayath S
New Company PF Slip — Naazneen Banu Hayath Basha , Hayath Basha S
New Company UAN Card — Naazneen Banu Hayath Basha , Hayath Basha S
Now what should i do in this above case, Can i proceed for transfer of PF/Pension from old company to new one , the difference in UAN card is not an issue?
(Or) Because of same details in PF slip of both company makes the PF/Pension transfer as successful one?
Please clarify of how should i proceed further
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Nazneen-In my view its not a big issue. Request for merger of both UAN.
Naazneen Banu Hayath Basha

Siddharth Jhunjhunwala
Hi Basavaraj,
I left my last job on 30th September 2016(2.5 years there) and joined a new company on 3rd October. I had a EPF & A UAN number from my previous employer and had provided my UAN number to current employer to transfer the amount and continue with the same UAN. But due to my past employer maintaining the EPF account with “VPD CONSULTANTS” which shows up as “Exempted Trust” my current employer for whatever reasons could not transfer the amount and generated altogether a new EPF & new UAN account. My concerns are:
1. I cannot even check my balance of previous employer with the UAN on the EPFO site and VPD consultants login only works on the intranet of the previous employer
2. How do I transfer my EPF amount over a lakh lying idle since last 6 months to current EPF and UAN number
3. How do I delete the old UAN & EPF number or will that be automatically done now once the amount is transferred to the current employer UAN account.
Please help.
Regards,
Siddharth
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Siddharth-1) Inform your employer about two UAN and request them to send information to EPFO for merging both.
2) You have to merge both the UAN.
3) You no need to delete but merge.
Siddharth
They (current employer) were unsuccessful to do it because of which new UAN got generated in the first place. For merging I saw in your article on doing it using One Employee – One PF Account. So should I take that route where I login using current UAN number and try adding the old one once I am logged in. I tried using the current UAN number to check my EPF balance for last 5 months of my employement I get an error ‘INVALID CREDENTIALS/DATA NOT AVAILABLE’ I wonder why when its a brand new UAN generated by current employer
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Siddharth-Even though they created wrongly one more UAN, they can inform to EPFO to merge the both. Otherwise use UAN Helpdesk for the same.
Liji
I have worked i two company and have two UAN .but now I’m not working
What is the process needs to be followed for rectifying this two uan issue and withdrawing pf amount .please help
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Liji-You can request EPFO UAN Helpdesk for merging both and then request for withdrawal. Otherwise, you have to send request for withdrawal for respective UAN numbers.
Liji
Thank you so much sir…
Joe
Hello Sir,
I joined a new organization and am being told that due to the new system in PF. They were not able to enter the old UAN while filling challans and hence a new UAN has been generated. Now they are asking me to merge it with the old UAN
few questions :
1. Will my year of service be impacted due to this merging ? Its been 3 years since the PF account / UAN is operating
2. Also when i transfer would the Pension Contribution be carried forward to the new account ? (Last time with my PF transfer after around 4 years it was made 0.00 ) I don’t want a same occurrence again now
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Joe-1) NO, it will not impact. 2) YES.
Joe
Thank you Sir for your prompt reply.
I wish to understand if the online process of merging is still running coz last 2 weeks i see the website not opening. Are you aware; of how prompt the manual merging process (via physical form submission) is ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Joe-I understand your frustration, but no way. You no need to worry and apply for manual process. It may take time but you have no option.
Joe
thanks 🙂
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Joe-Not sure about the promptness of process.
Joe
Hello Basavraj,
I think the OTCP portal has been started now. Do i have to fill in form13 to merge my UAN’s ? or is there some other procedure?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Joe-Better you initiate the process through your employer.
Joe
hello,
I wish to understand the process. Do we have to fill form 13 or some other forms?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Joe-Now it is single form. If you confused with forms, contact the regional EPFO.

How to change mobile number and Bank ACC details in an existing UAN?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sanjay-Using UAN helpdesk you can change the details.
sanjay
I am going to join a new company at Bangalore by next month.My present employer is in Tamilnadu.Can a new employer trace the pf amounts deposited by previous employers?Bcoz I have told them like I didn’t have pf deductions or any UANs generated in any of my previous companies.i have informed my new employer that I am getting 20k/month but in actual I was getting 11.5k /month.
Thinking like they would trace my previous salary details I have informed them like this.
In my present company I had pf deductions for 2.5yrs and then i have closed my pf and got all the money.i have contacted EPFO office here in local and enquired about my KYC status.he said Ur mobile number and bank ACC details alone were updated here and nothing else is there in Ur uan.so I have few questions.
1.can a new employer trace my previous salary?
2.What if I use new mobile number and new bank account as they r alone updated in my KYC of uan?(not sure whether my pan details r updated or not)
3.my present company after closing my pf details by may 2016 they have again started to deduct pf from this month.but I can have hardly only two months of pf deductions with the latest pf deductions now as I am moving out in one month.is that a problem to my new joining as I have told new employer that I didn’t have any pf or uan at all.then is it possible to claim these two months of pf amount?
4.i have told new company that my current salary is 20k which is not taxable as round the year it adds to 2.4lakhs only.
Kindly help me in this concern.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Sanjay-1) May or may not.
2) It is all probability.
3) I am not sure about this.
4) So?

DURGA PRASAD

Some of my friends said that for every mobile number, there is a different UAN even though our profile information i.e DOB, NAME & FATHER’S NAME…etc is same. Is this really true ????
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Durga-Don’t about all these rumors and I least bother.
Rupinder kaur
Hi Sir, I worked in a company for 4years but due to some financial crisis now the company is shut down. but company deducted my pf from my salary every month, however don’t deposit in my of account for last 1year. so if I withdraw my 3years pf balance will my pf account be closed? so if it happens and after some time if my company deposit the remaining of balance where will it go? how will I get it.
now after leaving that company i worked in New company for sometime. but they created New uan even though I provided my old uan to the company. now I am not working in that company. so what should I do in this case? I want to keep my old uan active not New one because I have balance in thaý account and if my first company has that account details. please suggest me what should I do?
Thanks
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rupinder-Request your employer or EPFO for merger of two.
Durga Prasad
Hello sir,
I have two UAN’s.I worked 8 months in one company say A and after leaving A, I withdrew my pf amount also. After 1 1/2 years, I joined another company say B. I didn’t disclose my old UAN or previous member ID( PF a/c no. ) to company B bcoz I don’t want my new employer company B to know my previous work experience and details about my previous employer, then company B created new UAN. Is there any chance of knowing by company B about my previous employment in company A ?
After that …..if my two UAN’S are identified by EPFO later, they will merge or deactivate my old UAN. I studied one article, in that after deactivating old UAN, old EPFa/c is automatically linked to new UAN. In my case bcoz of I already withdrew my pf amount and 1 1/2 years gap, my old EPF a/c becomes inactive. In my case, is my old EPF a/c automatically transferred to my new UAN after merging or deactivating my old UAN ? And if so , is there any chance of knowing by company B about my previous employment and details about my previous employer by this ?
Sir, plz suggest me
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Durga-I already explained that your new employer will come to know about your past UAN. Your both UAN will be merged. However, your old EPF is zero balance. Hence, it will not affect to your old EPF.
Durga Prasad
Sir, but I don’t want my new employer to know my previous employment. How can I escape from this ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Durga-It is not possible as per latest development in EPFO.
Durga Prasad
Sir, how EPFO identifies such employee having two UAN’S ???
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Durga-It is based on the KYC procedure.
Durga Prasad
Sir, if I gave two different KYC documents to employer for creating UAN, then can they identify even by now ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Durga-How can one have two Aadhaar or PAN?
Durga Prasad
Sir, atlast approximately how much time they take to merge two UAN’s ??
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Durga-Not sure.
Durga Prasad
Sir, how my new employer come to know about my previous UAN without my intervention ???
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Durga-It is based on the KYC procedure.

Heena Negi
Hi Basavaraj,
Just wondering of what to do for my below PF bizarre.
I came across 3 companies a year,including the present company.
I got uan number and pf number from 1st company , was able to see the updated passbook of money accumulations each month
the second company, where I only served 3 months ,created a new UAN and new PF as they say that they didnt get enough of response from previous establishment thus was a need to create a new UAN.(Despite of giving them existing UAN during the time of joining)
The third (present company) also created a new UAN and New PF nos altogether .
I wanted to see my current balance but my first companies UAN login to portal only displays account details of that company only
What do I do to get to see the second and third companies money collection. As all three of them have created a new UAN.
Also to inform that I had successfully completed the OTCP procedures for transferring the claim amongst my previous two companies and the current.
Would wish to know if you could suggest me withdrawing the money of the past 2 companies so that I have only one company (present) UAN. and if withdrawal is suggested then what forms I need to submit? And do I need to submit the closure forms separately to each of the past companies or only the 2nd company and not first assuming transfers have been happened successfully through OTCP from first to second.
Kindly assist.
Regards,
Heena Negi
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Heena-If you are in job, then you are not allowed to withdraw. Instead, inform your current employer about your past UAN numbers. Let them request EPFO for merging.
Heena Negi
Will do that and keep you updated on their response.
Mitesh Parmar
Dear Sir,
my current employer has generated a new uan no. for me though I have given my original uan no. to them.
They are doing this through a consultant. And, may be b’coz of miscommunication between consultant and my current employer, the consultant has generated my new uan no.
I don’t want to have this new uan no. I want to keep my original uan only.
Please suggest what to do? I have joined the new co. in November 2016. So 2 months pf is already submitted in new uan no.
Also please let me know the effect on pension scheme if one merges old uan to new uan.
Thanks..
Awaiting your reply…
