Allotment of Universal Account Number (UAN) to every contributing member by EPFO.
To switch job along with retaining the same PF account has been made easier by the PF Department. Earlier after changing the job, it was a lengthy process to transfer the PF Account from one employer to another, leading to withdrawal of PF amount, which was not letting the fund to accumulate. Considering this fact PF department is allotting an UAN to all participative employees, which will remain the same for an individual while being into the service.
Under the observation of Regional PF Commissioners, RC (I),(II),Asst. PF Comms. & all Officers there was a facilitation session at PF office for explaining the process of uploading new allotted UAN along with the KYC details of individual employees. This was a new learning & of course a good one.
