Attention HR professionals, payroll teams, and compliance experts! EPFO has just rolled out a game-changing update that simplifies legacy PF reconciliation and removes a major hurdle for organizations dealing with past PF dues.

Circular Date: 25.04.2025
Key Update: EPFO now allows bulk UAN generation without Aadhaar in select cases!

Why This Matters:

What EPFO Has Enabled:

• Bulk UANs without Aadhaar
  • For members of Exempted Trusts post-exemption
  • For PF recovered via recovery or court proceedings
• Faster reconciliation of old PF contributions
  • UANs can be generated using Member ID + other details
  • No need to wait for Aadhaar matching
• Frozen UAN safeguard
  • These UANs remain frozen until Aadhaar is seeded
  • No transfer or withdrawal until then
