Do you want to transfer your PF balance from your old company to your new one? If so, read this news. Transferring your PF balance from your old company to your new company's account is a crucial process when you change jobs. Previously, this required hours of visits to the PF office. However, the EPFO ​​has now simplified this process.

The PF auto-transfer facility has been made easier starting April 1, 2026. But one of the most important requirements to take advantage of this is linking your UAN (Universal Account Number) with your Aadhaar card!

If your UAN isn't linked to Aadhaar, your company won't be able to deposit your PF funds, and you'll also face difficulty transferring your old PF. So, let's learn how to complete this process from home.

What are the benefits of having UAN-Aadhaar link?

1. Auto Transfer: When you change jobs, your PF is automatically credited to the new account.

2. Fast Claim: There is no problem while withdrawing or transferring PF.

3. Online facility: Now you do not need to go to the PF office, all the work is done on mobile.

You can do this from the official EPFO ​​portal in just a few minutes:
