This is the second extension of the deadline, which was previously extended from June1 to September 1.
Retirement fund body Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has deferred implementation of its order mandating filing of Provident Fund (PF) returns with Aadhaar-verified universal account numbers (UAN) till December 31, 2021, for all seven States in the Northeast and for certain class of industries such as building-, and construction-, and plantation industry. This will give more time to employers to link their employees’ Aadhaar number with PF accounts or UAN in the Northeastern States and certain industries having less penetration of Aadhaar in UANs. Earlier, EPFO had extended the deadline for Aadhaar seeding with UANs for all subscribers to September 1, 2021 from June 1, 2021.
