How to Combine Two EPF Accounts into One?

It’s not uncommon for the professionals to switch jobs frequently to get better salaries and opportunities. However, the same can make it difficult to track your old and new PF accounts. This is why the government introduced Universal Account Number(UAN) which is a unique 12-digit account number provided to the EPF members.

UAN allows you to link all your PF accounts under one consolidated account thus making tracking of the same easier. However, there are other benefits of UAN as well.

For instance, you can transfer your funds from one PF account to another easily using your UAN. You can also link your Aadhaar number to UAN which eliminates the need to provide a signature for transfer or withdrawal of PF funds.
