EPFO, Retirement fund body has allowed full and final withdrawal of funds by the subscribers from their pension account without providing Aadhaar number.

According to the report, a senior official said: "All those members filing claims for withdrawal of funds from their pension account would not be required to submit Aadhaar as mandated in an earlier order of the EPFO."

The official said that the members submitting claims for fixing their pensions using Form 10D would be required to submit Aadhaar number or enrollment slips.

Explaining the reason for giving this breather to the members, the official said, “The requirement of submitting Aadhaar number under Form 10C claims led to issues in settlement of withdrawal cases. Thus, it is decided that obtaining Aadhaar should be mandatory for the time being only for the pension (fixation under 10D Form) and not in withdrawal cases (under Form 10C).”
