Hi,
Please find attached the latest EPFO Circular.
Universal Account No. (UAN) is being allotted to each contributing employee by EPFO. The allotment of UAN has been a long-pending demand of both employers and employees. It is expected that the allotment and deployment of the UAN will substantially lower the cost of compliance and ultimately save the employer from verifying various claims made by employees to EPFO.
As of now, the identity of any employee is established only if the employer certifies the same. Therefore, in the initial phase, certain initiatives will have to be taken by you to make the UAN fully operational.
The full implementation of the UAN will involve the following steps:
i) Allotment of UAN (already allotted by EPFO can be downloaded from the EPFO Website, i.e., Epfo (Govt. of India))
ii) Dissemination of UAN (To be done by you in respect of your employees)
iii) Capturing of KYC and communication of the same to EPFO (To be done by you in respect of your employees)
iv) Continuous allotment of UAN to new members (To be done by you in respect of your employees)
The detailed process of each step has been elaborated in the User Manual, which can be downloaded from the EPFO Website, i.e., Epfo (Govt. of India). It is expected that you will assign top priority to this work, which ultimately is going to help not only you but also all the employees as well as the EPFO in providing better services.
For KYC, a number of options have been provided. However, priority should be given to capturing AADHAAR/NPR Number and PAN. Saving bank account details of the member are also mandatory. In case you need any assistance in providing AADHAAR to your employees or face any difficulty in getting a Savings Bank Account opened for your workers, the nearest EPFO's Regional Office may be contacted, as the officers have been instructed to assist you in this process.
The verification of KYC that you are expected to submit to the EPFO Portal should ideally be done with the help of a digital signature. It is expected that most of you already possess digital signatures for transacting your routine business not only with EPFO but also with other Government Organizations such as the Income Tax Department, Service Tax Department, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, etc. In case you have not obtained a digital signature yet, it is requested to do so. Any KYC uploaded to the EPFO Portal using a digital signature will entitle the beneficiary to obtain a complete list of services. If KYC is not approved using a digital signature, some services may not be available to the employee.
In the initial days, there will likely be a number of queries, and you may require assistance on a constant basis. For this purpose, a toll-free Helpline No 1800-118-005 has been specifically assigned to extend assistance.
