EPFO Issues Guide for Merging Multiple PF Accounts and UANs

The Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has released a guide for subscribers to merge multiple PF accounts and resolve issues with duplicate Universal Account Numbers (UANs). Members are advised to use the official EPFO portal or Umang app to transfer old funds to active accounts, ensuring continuous service and tax benefits.

For those with multiple UANs, the EPFO recommends emailing [email protected] or requesting a transfer through their employer. The system automatically identifies duplicates during routine checks to deactivate old accounts. Additionally, subscribers can retrieve forgotten UANs via the member portal or Umang app by verifying their Aadhaar-linked mobile numbers.

Editor's note: The brief effectively summarizes the EPFO guidance. It omits the specific interest rate details, which is acceptable given the focus on the merge process.
