UAN Activation Deadline: If you do not do this work today, you will lose the EPFO ​​ELI scheme...

Today i.e. 30th November is the last day for the employees employed in the current financial year to activate their EPFO ​​Universal Account Number (UAN). If UAN is not activated, they will not be able to avail of the Employment Linked Incentive (ELI Scheme) scheme. It was announced in the Union Budget 2024-2025 that all eligible employees will have to acquire their Universal Account Number and link their Aadhaar number to their bank account to participate in the ELI scheme. UAN can be activated online from home.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launched three ELI schemes (A, B, and C) during the General Budget 2024. The benefit of ELI is given through DBT, so all companies have been urged to ensure UAN activation and Aadhaar seeding for all new people. To ensure that maximum companies and employees benefit from the ELI scheme, the Ministry of Labor and Employment instructed EPFO ​​​​to work actively with companies.

What is the ELI scheme?

The ELI scheme has been created for employment generation. The scheme aims to create more than 2 crore jobs in the country in 2 years. The central government has announced three schemes for employment-related incentives (ELI). These schemes aim to provide employment, skills, and other opportunities to 4.1 crore youth in the next 5 years with a budget of Rs 2 lakh crore. The main objective of this scheme is to increase employment and encourage the company to hire new employees. The government has divided the ELI scheme into three parts, A, B, and C.

Scheme A: This scheme encourages companies to hire new graduates. Companies will get a subsidy of Rs 15,000 for every new employee.

Scheme B: This is for the manufacturing sector. In this, companies will get Rs 3,000 per month per employee for two years for EPF contribution on new employee recruitment.

Scheme C: This scheme provides general incentives to employers to increase their workforce. Under this, companies will be given benefits for recruiting additional employees. However, more information about this could not be revealed.
