Aadhaar Seeding of Universal Account Number of EPF members for receipt of contributions through ECR for Withdrawal and benefits
As per the provision of Social security code section 142 of the code on social security code which mandates aadhar number seeding to the UAN which was implemented from 1st June 2021 and due to this provision as implemented in the EPFO portal many employees & employer had to face many challenges for seeding the same against the respective uan.
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 the 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 vide reference. EPFO Head Office Circular No.WSU/15(1 )2019/ATR/529 dated 15.06.2021
The representations for extension of time beyond 01.09.2021 have been considered and it is noted that overall about 94% of contributory EPF members’ UAN have Aadhaar seeding but there is less percentage of Aadhaar seeding in UANs of contributory members in EPFO’s administrative Zone of North Eastern Region and in a certain class of establishments I industries such as Beedi making, Building & Construction, 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 & file e-nominations without employer’s intervention & avoids delay in withdrawals due to non-seeding of Aadhaar in UAN.

3.
