Closure of EPF account without notifying my previous empolyer

Darklight
I was terminated from an MNC 2 years back. I was given a termination letter but they were imposing huge fines on me in form of full n final settlement which i denied. I am completing my further studies and listing myself as a fresher in further companies, so i need to close my EPF account . How can i do it without involvement of my previous employer. I have UAN no present with me.

Go to your regional pf office with your uan number, aadhaar card and registered mobil in pf. The edp dept of the the regional pf office will scan your finger and will seed your aadhaar with your uan.
Case 1 : If your name on aadhaar matches with pf records then the seeding will done immediately. Then you can file combined pf withdrawal form (with aadhaar) and you can get the money within 15-30 working days to your account
case 2 : If your name in aadhaar not matches with your name in pf records then it will take 60 days to seed the aadhaar by the pf authorities manually. After that only you can withdraw your amount as said in the case 1 without employer consent.
