The Employees Provident Fund Organisation on 1st June 2021 has notified that the employers shall be allowed to file the ECR (Electronic Challan cum Return) only for those EPFO members whose account is Aadhaar seeded in order to ensure that the members and the employers are not adversely affected in the transition phase.
Therefore with effect from 1st June if an EPF account is not linked to accountholder’s Aadhaar number, then employer’s contribution won’t get credited in such EPF account. The EPFO also made it clear that employer’s EPF contribution won’t be credited those EPF accounts whose UAN is not Aadhaar verified.
