Got Two UANs Due to Company Error? Here's How to Merge Them Online!

• Many employees end up with multiple UANs due to job changes, company errors, or not providing old UAN details to new employers.
• EPFO mandates 'One Member One UAN' for an employee's entire service lifetime, making multiple UANs problematic for PF transfers and withdrawals.
• The most common reasons for duplicate UANs include not informing a new company about the old UAN or the previous company failing to update the exit date.
• EPFO offers an online facility to merge multiple UANs through the unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in portal.
• The merging process involves logging in, selecting 'One Member One EPF Account', verifying details, and submitting the request for employer attestation.

Why It Matters: Merge duplicate UANs online via EPFO's portal to avoid PF transfer and withdrawal issues.
