Frequently asked questions

What details are filled in a joining form?+

A joining form usually captures personal details, contact and address, designation and date of joining, PAN, UAN, bank account, emergency contact and a list of documents submitted. It ends with a signed declaration by the employee.

Is a joining form mandatory in India?+

There is no single law that prescribes a joining form, but companies need the information it collects to run payroll, PF, ESI and personnel records. Most employers therefore treat it as a mandatory internal document.

Should the joining form ask for full Aadhaar number?+

It is safer to ask only for the last four digits or a masked copy. Collect full details only where a specific statutory process needs them and keep them secured.
