I worked on tech Mahindra bpo for 3 months only in 2020 then left.

I had no idea about UAN account.

Now I got an offer from HDFC but after verification they found a uan of mine but that is completely inoperative but now HDFC asking for  exit Letter and all but they didn't gave me any such documents as I didn't complete a year saying 3 month employment is not valid.

Want to delete the UAN

Yes UAN number is a gift from government,  it lingers as long as you live

the degrading gift with belated interest credit (i.e 1 year once compounding i think)



just bare safety for some and curse for many (as many withdraws using fake reasons and get it utilized without letting it do that compounding)


and on a whim Govt will change the interest rate

If there are multiple PF accounts or UAN, then the EPFO site lets one log-on and request the redundant ones to be surrendered, closed.

But for such situation, I do not think much would happen.
Just in case, check if [email protected] has something to say.

Can ask them or tell them the possibility of complete closure, if one is migrating (abroad) for good, surrendering citizenship.. THEN .. can they (close)?

His new company is asking about his old job ( 3 months).

I think he had not mentioned in resume or interview about it .

They got to know by uan history

In this situation .what he has to say to HR

I would suggest you to visit tech Mahindra office and politely ask current HR to issue you a letter.

additional info:

UAN is linked to aadhaar

SO YOU CAN RECOVER IT EASILY by using aadhaar verification in epfo website

and then use that UAN number and give it to your new employer, to make your new employer use it


(IT CANT BE DELETED, IT MUST BE REUSED every time in every new company you join, with the same UAN number)

This is very serious issue, and you could potentially lose your job. 

Firstly, you cannot delete any UAN. and having 2 UAN is illegal. You can ask HDFC to open a new UAN and you can deactivate/merge old UAN to it. 
Or you can use the same UAN and HDFC will create new PF account under it. You must raise request to update exit date of old company in your previous PF account and make sure you transfer funds from old PF to new PF.

Please try to keep everything genuine and legitimate. Contact your previous employer and ask them to provide exit certificate or reliving letter. Keep everything on email. If they still do not provide you exit certificate, show these emails to your new employer.

Going forward, whenever you switch jobs make sure you follow proper process. Otherwise you may end up never getting onboarded to these corporate jobs despite good skills but bad and suspicious background.
