Hi Seniors,
Can you tell me what will happen when an existing EPF member doesn't link his Aadhar number with his existing UAN on or before 31st December? Will the government force him to submit Aadhar? Or will he no longer remain a member of EPFO? Will his EPFO account get locked until he provides his Aadhar?
Any idea on the same?

Hello, it is recommended that you link your Aadhar Number to UAN as the benefits that can be enjoyed by the employee will not be applicable to him. The government is trying to get all the systems online.
Once Aadhar is linked, you can transfer your UAN from your old company to your changed/current company. In the near future, even withdrawal of PF will be processed online, which will be a great advantage to both parties.

I don't know what's the problem with this forum - everyone likes to give suggestions, read, enforce their own opinion instead of answering a particular query.
Mr. Ram, I didn't ask you how to enroll for an Aadhaar or what's the benefit of linking Aadhaar. I think I know those pretty well. Is my query posted here very tough to understand? Don't tell me everyone is doing something means I also have to do this. My query was what happens if I choose not to do it.
So if anyone has any serious idea about the repercussions can be then please enlighten me as I have no clue on that. But please don't write I should do it blah blah blah. Stop giving answers based on what you do under specific circumstances. So Mr. Ram instead of telling me what you have done or what you prefer to do tell me what might be the consequences if you know it at all.
Again, I'm expecting some views from the genuinely learned members of this community.

Dear Mr. Anamika,
Unfortunately, I am not in a position to predict the consequences of not linking Aadhaar to various schemes. You may have to wait until the completion of the deadline for linking. By virtue of my qualifications and industry experience, I suggest following the rule of the land. Furthermore, I feel this forum is for knowledge enhancement, not for circumventing the rule of law. You have to come out of your mental blockage. As long as you remain Anamika, you are living in a virtual world. Start living in the real world. As a citizen of this country, you are entitled to question any law, not at this forum.

Remain anonymous doesn't mean I'm living in a virtual world, and the rule of the land says I have to link Aadhaar in order to get something. I never said that I will take the facilities without linking Aadhaar. I only said that if I don't want those facilities specified, can the govt force me to link my Aadhar? If I don't want LPG subsidy, can the govt force me to link my Aadhar?
You are mistaken. I am not against any law of the land. I'm in for it completely. But the govt is saying I have to link Aadhar with UAN if I desire to remain a subscriber of EPS and EPF. That's fine with me. But what if I don't link it? Will I not remain a subscriber? That was my query. And avoiding linking Aadhaar with anything doesn't make me a non-law-abiding citizen. The govt is saying if I have to have a bank account, I must have an Aadhaar. If I don't link Aadhar, then I can't have a bank account. I'm okay with it. But please understand this rule itself says that if I don't want to become a subscriber of any of the banks, then I don't need to link Aadhar. And even if I don't have a bank account, I still remain a law-abiding citizen. And that was my question. Is there any such rule in the case of EPFO and Aadhar?
So again, I'm requesting you that having a different view than you doesn't make me a non-law-abiding citizen. Therefore, you are most welcome to place your views here, but please don't tell me what you believe in terms of linking UAN with Aadhar as I'm not interested. If you know anything specific about my original query, then you are most welcome.
Last but not the least, please don't try to teach me how to follow the rule of the land. I believe you either haven't understood my original question, or you have, but you don't know the answer and hence are sharing your ways of thinking, which I'm not interested in hearing.
Thank you. Cheers.

Dear Anamika,
Please peruse the attachment regarding "Aadhaar is a Proof of Identity & Address" with regard to your specific query "Is there any such rule in case of EPFO and Aadhar?" The deadline has been extended until 31/12/2017 for your information as per the attachment.
If you are a member of EPS, 1995, linking Aadhaar is mandatory because the Government of India also contributes at 1.16% up to the actual Basic & VDA, maximum up to Rs 15,000/- towards the Employees' Pension Scheme.

Exactly, thanks for your input, by the way. And here lies my question. Being a subscriber of EPS, I have to submit my Aadhaar. But what if I decide not to? Do I still remain a subscriber? Will they debar me? Will I no longer remain a subscriber of EPFO? What will be the consequences? That was my question.
In each and every case where linking Aadhar is mandatory, there is a clear provision of what will happen if someone doesn't link it, but I didn't find any such provision in the case of EPFO. Like if I don't link Aadhar with a bank account, the accounts will get frozen; if I don't link it with my PAN, it will be deactivated; if I don't link it with my mobile number, it will be deactivated. My query here was what will happen if I don't link it with my UAN? Will it get deactivated? Or something else will happen?
I'm expecting your views on the same as I believe you know this scheme better than me.

Dear Anamika,
Before replying to your query, please clarify your statement: "Being a subscriber of EPS, I have to submit my Aadhaar. But what if I decide not to? Do I still remain a subscriber?"
As long as you are in employment and by virtue of being an EPF and EPS member, you will continue to be a member regardless of not linking your Aadhaar number. Upon leaving service, you will cease to be a member of EPF and EPS. You can even withdraw EPF and EPS accumulations by using non-Aadhaar withdrawal forms.
For availing pension under EPS, linking of Aadhaar or submission of Jeevan Praman Patra is mandatory.

Exactly, sir. Here, my query is: by virtue, I have to remain a member of EPFO since I have become one, and by law, every EPFO subscriber has to link Aadhar, isn't it?
So, does that mean I can't decide not to link my Aadhaar? I'm an EPFO subscriber, and now, by law, I have to link Aadhaar. However, you are saying that regardless of not linking Aadhar, I'll still remain a subscriber. But how is that possible in this case? There is no provision mentioned in EPFO where I can choose not to link my Aadhar. It's just like I have to do it, isn't it?
