Frequently asked questions

What details should an employee personal information form contain?+

Name as per ID, date of birth, contact details, address, PAN, UAN, bank details for salary and an emergency contact are usually enough. Add only what you have a clear purpose for.

Can HR ask for a full Aadhaar number?+

Avoid it unless a specific requirement applies. Masked Aadhaar showing the last four digits is normally sufficient for identity checks.

How long should this form be kept?+

Keep it for the period of employment plus the retention period your policy sets for statutory records, then destroy it securely.
