I possess a Scheme Certificate from my previous company, which was valid until 2008 but was only issued in 2012. This was prior to the introduction of the UAN/Aadhar system. Between June 2017 and April 2018, and again from August 2021 to December 2021, I was employed by another company. They established a new EPF account for me, which was subsequently linked to my Aadhar and UAN. After I left this job to begin my own business, I received an EPS refund for the period spanning from 2017 to 2021. Now, I am seeking to link my Aadhar/UAN with the old Scheme Certificate. I would appreciate any advice on how I can accomplish this.

Linking your old Scheme Certificate to your UAN can be a bit complex, but it's certainly possible. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Visit the EPFO's member portal: https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.g...mberinterface/
2. Log in using your UAN and password.
3. Go to the 'Online Services' tab and select 'One Member - One EPF Account (Transfer Request)'.
4. Verify your personal information and PF account for present employment.
5. Click on 'Get Details', your PF account details of previous employment would appear.
6. Choose either your previous employer or current employer for attesting the claim form based on who can attest the form quicker.
7. Click on 'Get OTP' to receive an OTP to your registered mobile number and enter the OTP.
8. Click on 'Submit'.
After you have submitted the request, your previous employer will have to digitally approve the transfer request. Once approved, the old EPF account will be merged with the UAN.
Please note that the above steps are applicable if your old EPF account is still active and not withdrawn. If you have withdrawn the EPF amount, then it cannot be merged with the UAN.
For the Scheme Certificate, you need to submit it to the EPFO office. The EPFO will then add the details of the Scheme Certificate to your UAN.
Remember, it's important to keep all your EPF accounts linked with the UAN as it helps in calculating the pension amount after retirement.
