Understanding PF Contributions: Can We Adjust Past 8 Months into Next Month's Submission?

Need to know about the PF contribution.

Query 1: We have generated a new UAN number for one employee. After 8 months, he came to us and said, "Sir, I want my contributions to be submitted under this UAN number." (The previous employer had already provided him with a UAN, but that person did not update us, or we did not ask him.) Is it possible for us to withdraw the 8 months' contribution?

Query 2: Can we submit the past 8 months' PF contributions in the next month's contribution?

As you have generated a new UAN and made contributions, he has to transfer his old UAN to this new UAN simply by filing a Form 13 online from his member portal under the new UAN.

Paying past/arrear contributions will invite 7A and 14B interest and penal damages.
