EPF: If there is more than one UAN, then deactivate the old UAN, this is the way

How to Deactivate Old UAN: Many times, on changing jobs, more than one Employees Provident Fund (PF, EPF) account of the person is opened. UAN ie Universal Account Number is there for the details of all the accounts to be found at one place. UAN should be only one but some people’s UAN also becomes more than one PF account simultaneously.

Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) allows only one UAN. If you have two UANs, you can transfer your EPF account from one to another and deactivate your previous UAN. Remember that funds from one UAN linked EPF account have to be compulsorily transferred to another EPF account linked to another UAN. Know this whole process:-
