TWO UAN

snandan.kumar asked 8 years ago
My two previous employers had created two UANs. Company A created 100328446694 and company B created 101150572439. I had left these companies and joined another company C which is using UAN (100328446694 ) created by company A. Now I want these two to be either merged or withdraw EPF/EPS amount from company B and close that UAN. Please let me know.

Thanks Sree for Answer.
I saw some of the link you had shared but my case looks different and doesn’t fit into them and give me answer.

I did send email to uanepf(mentioned in the some of the answers) but looks that email is not active anymore.

Here is little from details from my side.

I had UAN from my previous employer (A) when I joined a new company(B). I gave them my UAN created by my previous employer(A) at the time of joining but company B created new UAN which I noticed much later as both UAN number were looking same and I never really put attention to this.

Now I ended up with two UANs. And want to merge these two and deactivate UAN created by employer(B).

I had left company(B) after few months of joining due to family reason and joined new company(C) where again I gave UAN created by employer(A) as didn’t notice I have another UAN created by employer(B) and my current employer (C) accepted this old UAN created by company A. Now my current EPF/EPS contribution is linked to UAN created by my first employer(A).

My current employer is contributing to EPF/EPS account linked with UAN created by employer(A) and my current employer’s has their own trust for EPF/EPS.

I want UAN created by employer B to be disabled and amount linked to OLD UAN(created by company A).

Please help.

Hi, As you are currently employed and contributing to EPF scheme, you can not withdraw PF. You have to consolidate/merge your EPF accounts. You can get the funds from EPF account linked to UAN-101150572439 to latest EPF a/c linked to UAN-100328446694. You may kindly inquire on this matter with the EPFO at https://epfigms.gov.in/ .   Related articles :

Hi, Generally, if there are two UANs (say A & B) and two EPF accounts (EPF 1 & EPF 2), an EPF member can transfer funds from EPF 1 to EPF 2 and during this process old UAN (A) gets automatically blocked. In your case, you have two UANs (A&B) and three EPF accounts, EPF 1 (linked to A) , EPF 2 (linked to B) and EPF 3 (linked to A). So, here latest UAN is UAN B.  You may try transferring funds from EPF 1 & EPF 2 to EPF 3 linked to UAN A. During this process the UAN B may be blocked. But, as suggested in my above reply, kindly check with the EPFO if this is possible.
