Understanding UAN Numbers: Are They Mandatory for Organizations with PF Trusts?

Dear Seniors,

My query is, can an organization that has a PF trust generate a UAN number? Is it compulsory like a normal PF account, or is it optional to generate or not?

And in the case where a trust has not generated a UAN number, how can the employee avail of the benefits under UAN?

Hi Gokul,

It is compulsory to generate the PF account or the UAN number.

Dear Sir,

I was informed that the generation of UAN is not mandatory for the trust. Could you please provide me with some supporting write-ups for your statement so that I can present it effectively?
