UAN Number - put the same PF number in another Company, can the same one work properly or not?

Hi, Good evening to all of you. I have a question related to the pf account.
My last job in which PF was deducted was resigned in December. So now if I want to put the same PF number in another Company, can the same one work properly or not?

Hi,

PF number will vary from Company to Company.

When you join new office they will allot new PF number. However at the time of joining you should provide your UAN number to new office which is mandatory. After 2-3 months contribution with new employer you can transfer old office PF to your new office PF. Hope you are clear.

Is the UAN number and PF number same ?

Hi,

NO.

UAN stands for Universal Account Number. The UAN once generated stays constant throughout your employment years irrespective of the number of jobs you change. Where as PF number will vary from Organisation to Organisation.

UAN is like a umbrella under which you will have multiple PF number as and when you keep changing employment.
