EPFO New Rule: Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO): EPFO has made some changes in the rules of its account holders. Understand this change carefully if you have a job. Then understand what that new rule is and how it will affect your EPF contribution. These rules will come into force from tomorrow, June 1. That means you only have one day’s opportunity today.
PF Account – Link to Aadhaar
According to the new EPFO rules, each account holder’s PF account must be linked to the Aadhaar card. This is the responsibility of the employee. It will be the responsibility of the company to ask them to add their PF account to Aadhaar. By June 1, if an employee fails to do so, his company or owner’s PF contribution to his PF account may also be stopped. This can cause great damage. The EPFO has also issued a notification in this regard.
What is the New Testament?
The EPFO has enacted new rules under Section 142 of the Social Security Code 2020. In which the EPFO has clarified to the employers that its ECR-electronic currency cum return cannot be filed if the PF account has not been linked to the Aadhaar since June 1 or the UAN Aadhaar has not been verified. This means that PF account holders will not be able to get the owner’s share. Only your contributions will be visible to the account staff.
