- However, considering the challenges faced by the employers & employees in expeditious seeding of Aadhaar in UANs Particularly in view of corrections required in Aadhaar data of employees in aftermath of second wave of pandemic, the EPFO with prior approval of the central Government extended the time for mandatory seeding of Aadhaar in UAN for filing ECR up to 01.09.2021 which was communicated earlier.
- The representations for extension of time beyond 01.09.2021 have been considered and its noted that overall about 94% of contributory EPF members UAN have Aadhaar seeing but there is less percentage of Aadhaar seeding in UANs of contributory members in EPFOs administrative zone of North eastern region and in certain class of establishments/ industries such as Beedi making, building and constructions and plantation. Since Aadhaar seeding is mandatory for any withdrawals, receipt of contributions in Aadhaar seeded UANs helps members to file online claims to avail withdrawals and file-e-nominations without employer’s intervention and avoid delay in withdrawals due to non-seeing of Aadhaar in UAN.
- State like Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland & Tripura time for mandatory seeding of Aadhaar in UAN for filing ECT is extended till 31.12.2021. ETC.,
