Aadhar is Mandatory for UAN Generation of new joinees?

I have a query about generating UAN for the new joiners. Is Aadhar number mandatory to generate UAN? Please clarify.

Regards, Aravindan

Hi Mr. Aravindan,

Yes! Aadhar is mandatory for ESIC. If you do not enter your Aadhar number, then after 3 days, the system will automatically mark it as invalid. Therefore, please ensure to enter your Aadhar number during IP registration.

No, Aadhar is not mandatory to generate UAN. You can generate UAN without Aadhar, but for the benefit of employees later on, you have to do KYC - Aadhar, bank account number, etc. Even the PF authority provides a non-Aadhar form to withdraw benefits.

For ESIC, Aadhar is compulsory as they provide treatment only on the basis of Aadhar. ESIC has stopped the biometric "pehchan" and now they are not providing ESIC cards in Delhi - and later on, they will stop it in every location too. So, please suggest to your employees to make their Aadhar as soon as possible.

Yes, Aadhar is mandatory from 1st July 2017 onward. I am also unable to generate new UANs for employees. If anyone has a solution, please provide.
