Urgent Help Needed: How to Resolve Dual UANs for PF Settlement in an Emergency

hari-prasad1
Hi, I have been working since 2013 and I have a UAN number, which I have been using. In 2017, I joined another company but left within 2 months due to a cultural issue. Unfortunately, they allotted me another UAN number, which I was unaware of. When I joined my current company in 2018, I was not aware of the new UAN and the rules associated with it, so I provided my old UAN. Recently, I left the organization, and after 3 months, I am trying to claim my PF settlement due to an emergency. I discovered that I have 2 UANs. However, I am using the first UAN, which has 2 PF Member IDs, and the second UAN (only 1-month employed) is also active.

Please provide a solution to claim the settlement in a clear process as I am in an emergency situation.

Thanks in advance

Hi, when joining a new employer, you should have provided the UAN that was already available. Additionally, if there is an active UAN in existence, a second UAN cannot be created. I am not sure how the second employer managed to create it?

Deactivating the First UAN

The current process requires you to deactivate the first UAN. To do this, you must transfer the PF from the first employer to the second employer, which will result in the deactivation of the first UAN.

Hi, If the details are correct in both UANs, then simply fill out Form 13 online. If the details do not match, then first correct your details and then fill out Form 13 Transfer claim.
