Concerned About PF Withdrawal? Will Sharing My UAN with a New Employer Affect It?

I had applied for PF withdrawal (Form 19 & 10C) since I was unemployed for the past 4 months, and I am awaiting the payment. Now I have got a new job where they are asking for my UAN number (received from the previous company). In this case, providing this UAN number will affect my withdrawal process (i.e., rejection). Please clarify if so. Is it possible to create a new UAN number?

Hi Buddy,

You can give your existing UAN to the current employer; it won't affect your withdrawal process because the purpose of UAN is to know your KYC details and avoid having multiple PF numbers whenever you join under a new employer.

Once you provide your UAN and they input it into their system (including the PF portal), the withdrawal of PF will be halted.

As per your PF form being in withdrawal, you can inform the new employer that your PF form is in withdrawal, and the new employer can generate a new UAN number.
