As per EPFO circular dated 26th March 2018, the EPFO has cited concerns of some employers in initial enrolment due to non-possession of Aadhar number. Thus, in order to avoid delay in remittance of contributions of new employees joining without possessing Aadhar number, PF department has decided to make available an additional route for allotment of UAN for enrolment as member of Employees Pension Scheme, 1995. Below are the guidelines towards following the process: (i)Employers may apply to the RPFC for generating UAN for such employees. (ii) RPFC will generate UAN based on the undertaking of such employees forwarded through the employer stating that he/she does not have Aadhar number for generation of UAN, (iii) RPFC will also verify identity of such employees. (iv)The UAN thus generated shall be forwarded to Employers concerned to file ECR for such employees under intimation to the concerned employees about their UAN. Hence PF Department is pushing for making ease of compliance for employers and thereby ensuring benefit is provided to members
