Aadhaar Card latest Update

EPFO-Aadhaar Linking Alert: The EPFO has earlier issued a notification saying that its subscribers must link their Aadhaar card with their Provident Fund (PF) accounts by September 1, 2021 to continue receiving funds into their account. If they fail to link their Aadhaar with the EPFO account, then they will face many issues in the days to come.

“After 1st September 2021, the employers will not be able to remit monthly PF and allied dues in respect of their employees whose Aadhaar numbers are not seeded with UAN (Universal Account Number) and they (Employer) will be liable for any legal/statutory/ membership/service delivery aspects affecting such employees of theirs,” the EPFO said in a statement.

In the beginning, the Aadhaar linking with EPFO was mandatory from June 1, 2021. However, this deadline for the Aadhaar seeding was further extended till September 1, 2021.

Repeatedly, the EPFO has said through SMS, emails, telephone calls to complete the Aadhaar seeding and is again appealing to all employers to complete the process before the September deadline.
