Subject: De-Linking of MIDs from UAN in case Contribution is remitted by Employer.

Madam/Sir,

Kind reference is sought to the User Manual for De-linking of wrong MIDs enclosed vide Circular No. WSU/ErroneousLinkingofUAN/E-838432/2024-25/10 dated 17.01.2025. In this connection, the Competent Authority has approved the extension of this functionality to include those cases where wrong MIDs were created without the members’ knowledge and contribution is also available in such MIDs. The indicative process flow is as below:-

1. Member will raise the De-Linking request through the Member Portal.
2. The request shall be forwarded to the Employer’s log-in for accepting or refusing the request.
3. In case the employer accepts the request, the MID shall be de-linked at the level of employer, provided contributions have been received for not more than 2 times.
4. In case the employer refuses or does not take any action on the request for 2 weeks or wherever contributions have been received in respect of the said member for more than 2 times but up to 6 times, the De-Linking request shall be escalated to the Regional Office concerned as a task for the Dealing Hand (Compliance) at FOINTERFACE for further examination.
5. Dealing Hand after due examination shall submit to the Section Supervisor (Compliance) who would then submit it to the RPFC (Compliance) with due recommendations.
6. RPFC(Compliance) shall examine and approve/reject such De-Linking request by recording the reasons based on the merit of the request.
7. Separate instructions will be issued later about transfer of such de-linked balances to SRF

Member IDs from which claims have already been processed/settled/pending OR have received contributions more than 6 times will not be allowed to file the De-Linking Request.

The User Manual for the above functionality, as received from the ISD is enclosed herewith for ready reference.

Due diligence should be carried out in the above process to avoid errors, delay and consequent grievances.

Encl: User Manual [This has the approval of the CPFC]

Yours Sincerely,

G.R. Suchindranath
