Facing Payroll Delays Due to Aadhaar and PF Linking Issues? Share Your Solutions Here

Dear Members,

I would appreciate it if you could share your experience on this subject and provide a solution that is in the best interest of employees, the employer, and is also in line with laws. You must have come across the recent update that has taken place in our country regarding linking everything such as PAN number, bank account, mobile number, and PF account with the Aadhaar Card.

Query regarding Aadhaar Card and PF Account Linking

Now, I would like to post a query regarding linking the Aadhaar Card with the PF Account. We are facing too many problems in creating the PF account and generating the UAN number for a few employees because either they do not have an Aadhaar Card yet, or if they have it, there are errors in the name or date of birth, etc., which are not allowing the generation of the UAN. We have already asked such employees to initiate the process to obtain the card or make corrections. However, generating a new card or making corrections in the existing one takes a few months as per the government process. Hence, how do we generate the payroll for such employees with PF?

Could you please help me resolve this issue? Apart from this forum, you can also reach me at my email [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons] or [Phone Number Removed For Privacy-Reasons].

I look forward to hearing from you on how you are handling such issues in your company.

To address the challenges faced in generating payroll for employees without a linked Aadhaar Card, consider the following steps:

1. Temporary Solutions:
- Explore temporary workarounds such as manual payroll processing for affected employees until their Aadhaar Card issues are resolved.

2. Communication:

3. Assistance:

4. Government Liaison:

5. Legal Compliance:

By following these steps, you can navigate the challenges in generating payroll for employees without a linked Aadhaar Card while ensuring compliance with legal requirements.
