Worried About Background Check: Can My Former Job Create UAN and PF Without Full Details?

I resigned from my job two days after joining, and I did not provide any details to the organization for PF creation, but I had provided Aadhar, PAN, and UAN numbers at the time of joining. Can they create UAN and PF accounts without Form 11 and other details? I am asking this because I have a background verification going on in another organization and am worried it might be flagged, which may lead to the offer getting rescinded. Thanks for the help.

Hi, Your question is ambiguous. You claim that at the time of joining, you had provided "Aadhar, PAN, and UAN numbers," but later your query is, "Will they be able to create UAN and PF account without Form 11?" If a UAN number already exists for you and is provided to the employer, the employer can allot a new PF number irrespective of whether you had submitted Form 11 or not.

UAN and Member ID Creation in EPFO

UAN already exists, but I wanted to ask if a new member ID can be created in EPFO if I have not submitted Form 11 and other required forms. I have absconded from the organization, and they do not have my bank details.

Hi, As already clarified, if a UAN already exists, PF Form 11 is not required. For new PF number allotment, your bank details are not required. Bank details need to be updated in your UAN login.

Mr. Narayan,

Can they create a second UAN if he already has an existing one?

If they create a second one, will it make a difference in BVG?

The allotment of the PF account number is fine, but my query is related to a new entry under the service history tab in the EPFO portal. Will they create that if I have not submitted any forms (mainly Form 11) or bank details?

Hello Mr. Saswata Banerjee,

No, nowadays it is not possible at all. As Aadhaar/PAN is linked with the existing UAN, allotting another new UAN is highly impossible. This member's concern is how his past employer allotted a new PF number without submitting Form 11. The member, being an existing contributing member to PF, notes that Form 11 has nothing to do with the allotment of a new PF number.

EPF Deduction and Form 11 Requirement

If an employee accepts the deduction of EPF from their salary, Form 11 is not required. However, if an employee denies the deduction of PF from their salary, Form 11 is a must.
