Hi,

I have a situation where I can see two member IDs within a dropdown. I would like to mention that both comes under the same account. My question here is that, do I need to merge these two member IDs in to one?

Or is it alright since it comes under one single account?

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the common query about having multiple member IDs within the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) system, even when they appear to be linked to a single UAN. The consensus is that while it might seem acceptable if they fall under one account, it's generally advisable to merge them. Failing to do so can complicate the process of withdrawing your PF, requiring individual applications for each ID. It's recommended to inform your current employer about the situation to facilitate the merging process.

When are joined from one company to another, you ask your new company to merge this. if it is not merged, while you withdrawn the PF you have to apply individually. you should inform to your existing employer for merging the same

I appreciate your response. I have shared my UAN number with my existing employer and yet this shows two member IDs. Please note that both the membif so, do I really need to merge this or can I keep this as it is? The member IDs which i could see is in a single logged in account. If this is a single logged in account, would it mean that both the member IDs are coming under same UAN number? And finally is there a way where I can merge the same online myself?
