UAN 2.0: How Do You Ensure Accurate Parent/Spouse Names for New Employees?

As UAN 2.0 is approaching, it is important to consider the following practices regarding employees' father/mother/spouse names. By adhering to proper guidelines, we can prevent any discrepancies in names and ensure accuracy.

UAN 2.0 should be Aadhar-based. So, if the employee wants to change any data, they have to make appropriate changes in Aadhar data first.

I want to know about which single ID proof should be considered for entering the names of the father, mother, and spouse in company records as well as in compliance records. If we strictly follow the Aadhar card, then there are two options available: (i) employee's Aadhar card for the father's name and (ii) father's Aadhar card for the father's name. The same applies for the mother and spouse. Which practice is more appropriate?

Aadhar is now the master document for ESIC, as well as EPFO for Member Employee. EPFO needs PAN and bank account details along with Aadhar. ESIC needs bank account details. For family details, Aadhar is needed for each family member. For nomination under EPFO, the member can update family details with any one ID.

Under UAN 2.0, only the employee's Aadhar is needed. Thereafter, you have to obtain the Labour Identification Number (LIN) of the employee from labour.nic.in.
