New Delhi, Aug. 16 -- The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has announced new rules to make it more convenient for its users to link Aadhaar with their Universal Account Number (UAN) and make changes to their personal details.

The fresh rules are aimed at speeding up access to provident fund services, reduce paperwork, and ensure timely payouts, especially in sensitive cases like those involving minors, without unnecessary procedural hurdles.

The Joint Declaration (JD) mechanism has also been streamlined for cases where the Aadhaar and UAN details do not match, or where a wrong Aadhaar has been linked.

However, it's important to note that changes to Aadhaar details that have already been verified will not be cleared.
