Hello All,

A company was covered by EPF in December 2017 with 21 employees. We have a few members who were part of EPF and have UAN numbers. Their KYC was not updated, and some of them have withdrawn amounts from EPF.

Now, can I continue using those UANs in this newly covered company, or do we need to create new UANs? Please advise on this. If anyone can provide a notification explaining why I should consider the existing UANs, it would be greatly appreciated. My boss has requested that I produce the notification.

Continue with same UAN ... full form itself implicates its meaning , no need of notification. Even from one aaddhar number cannot create second UAN now onward.

Thank you, Mr. RK Singh. I found one notification and an FAQ that agree with your answer.

I have another question on First-Time Applicability. Most of the employees have been working for several years and are receiving their full amount of pay. Now, who will pay the 24% of PF? Employees may raise concerns about a reduction in their net pay.

Please advise if there is a provision where we can deduct both amounts from the employees' salaries, or if the employer needs to cover both parts.

Please advise on this.

Thanks & Regards,
Ramesh

Thank you, Mr. Srinath. That is what I tried to convince my boss, but he is still keen to know if there is any chance we can deduct both parts from the employee as nowadays it is a normal practice done by most of the employers. Include both contributions in CTC. Any notification or provision in EPF will be appreciated. Please.
