News India Live, Digital Desk: PF money is no less than a treasure for us working people. The little amount that is deducted from our salary every month becomes the biggest support in old age or bad times. But, if you are thinking that your money is kept safe with EPFO ​​(Employees Provident Fund Organization) and you do not need to do anything, then you are mistaken. Recently, an update of EPFO ​​has given sleepless nights to many people. The news is clear that if your Aadhaar Card is not linked to your PF account (UAN), then your account can be ‘Freeze’. That means you will neither be able to withdraw nor deposit money. Let us understand in simple language what this rule is and what you should do immediately. What is the new issue? (The Core Issue) EPFO ​​has now made the rules very strict. The aim is to ensure that money transactions remain completely transparent. If the KYC of your PF account is not complete (especially Aadhaar linking), then your UAN number will be of no use. The biggest problem will be that the company in which you work will not be able to deposit this month’s money in your PF account even if it wants to. Because when the employer opens the system (ECR) to deposit money, then if Aadhaar is not linked, the system rejects the name of that employee. Imagine, you are working, money should be deducted, but due to account being blocked, money is not being deposited. The loss is only yours, isn’t it? All the ways to withdraw money are closed! Deposit is a distant thing, if Aadhar is not linked, you cannot withdraw advance PF from your PF account. Cannot do Final Settlement after leaving the job. Even you will not be able to check your PF Balance properly. It is a simple matter – “No Aadhar, No PF Service.” Don’t worry, check in just 5 minutes. There is no need to be afraid, you can check this work from your mobile sitting at home. You can also correct it. Log-in: First of all go to the unified portal of EPFO (unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in). Fill the details: Log-in by entering your UAN and password. Check the status: Click on ‘KYC’ on the homepage or under the ‘Manage’ tab. Check: If ‘Verified’ is written next to Aadhaar, then you are safe. Sleep peacefully. If not: Select ‘Aadhaar’ there, enter your Aadhaar number and link it through OTP. After this, get it approved by speaking to the HR of your company. It is now or never. Friends, stop being lazy and check your PF account today itself. If tomorrow you need money in an emergency and “Account Inactive due to KYC failure” is written on the computer screen, you will regret a lot. Do share this information with your office colleagues also, because helping them is also a kind of savings!
