EPF Account KYC- If you have not yet updated KYC in your EPF account, then it is very important. Without this, the PF withdrawal claim can get stuck.
Whether a bank account or provident fund account (EPF account), KYC is required everywhere. If your KYC is incomplete anywhere, your account can be closed at any time. It is not possible to withdraw money without KYC, especially in the case of Employee Provident Fund. Therefore it is important that you also complete your EPF Account KYC. So far, 66 percent of the total people in EPFO have updated their KYC. If you have not yet updated your EPF Account KYC, then it is very important. Without this, the PF withdrawal claim can get stuck.
The EPFO has directed all companies and institutions to make 100 per cent KYC in the UAN of EPF account holders. According to EPFO, it is necessary to have EPF Account KYC. In 2014, EPFO issued a 12-digit Universal Account Number (UAN) to speed up the service related to the Provident Fund. Now all accounts are linked to UAN. From this, information related to any provident fund can be obtained in the future. Also, the entire service history is added to it.
