New Delhi: PF subscribers must note that the last date of linking of Aadhaar card with PF account is September 1. After that period, if you fail to link both your UAN with Aadhar, then a lot of EPF benefits may be curtailed for you. Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) had couple of months ago deferred its order on linking of Aadhaar card with PF account till September 1, 2021.  Earlier, the EPFO had set the deadline of June 1, 2021. The retirement fund body had mandated filing of PF returns with Aadhaar-verified universal account numbers (UAN). With the latest order in place, now employers will have more time in hand to link their employees Aadhaar number with PF accounts or UAN. The date of implementation for filing ECR (electronic challan cum receipt or PF return) with Aadhaar verified UANs has been extended to September 1, 2021, showed an office order issued by the EPFO.
