Employers to Get Incentive for Providing UAN to EPFO Subscribers

By
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation has announced an Incentive Refund Scheme that encourages employers to provide Universal Account Numbers (UAN) to all employees, a step aimed at bringing transparency and accountability to the EPF system.
The scheme will enable employers to claim a refund of up to 10% of the administrative charge paid by them in each quarter, provided they qualify for it based on certain criteria.The scheme will be effective from January 1to December 31, 2016, a labour ministry notification said last month.
UAN offers easy portability of PF accounts between employers. It also allows members to view their EPF accounts with current and former employers.
If a company has provided member account details of 80% of its workforce to the retirement fund body and linked 80% of the accounts to Aadhaar as well as 100% to bank accounts and PAN numbers wherever applicable, it will be eligible for a refund of 10%, provided also that it has given UAN to all the members whose details have been furnished with the EPFO.
An establishment that has provided details of at least 60% of employees will be eligible for a refund of 5% on the administrative charge, if 70% of the accounts are linked to Aadhaar and 100% to bank accounts and PAN. The employer also has to provide UAN to at least 60% of its workforce.
