Firms will not be able to transfer their share of provident fund deposits to their employees from June 1 onwards unless employees have their Aadhaar — the 12-digit biometric ID — linked to their provident fund accounts, according to new rules of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), the state-run retirement fund manager.
