A Step-By-Step Guide to Find Your UAN in EPF

The Universal Account Number (UAN) serves as the identity number for all Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) subscribers, acting as a PAN card does for income tax payers. It simplifies the process for EPF subscribers who may have multiple employers by providing a single identification number, regardless of the number of member IDs issued by different employers.

Subscribers can access all relevant information about their EPF account by entering their UAN on the EPF website. They can easily apply for withdrawal and track the status of their application using this unique identifier.

To obtain a UAN, individuals must visit the EPF website and navigate to the ‘Know your UAN’ option. They will be prompted to enter their mobile number and captcha to proceed. After verifying their details, clicking ‘Show my UAN’ will reveal the UAN associated with their EPF account.

It is essential to activate the UAN once obtained by visiting the EPF user interface website and following the steps to activate it. Members should ensure that their UAN, Aadhaar number, name, and date of birth match the details in the EPFO records. Additionally, a valid mobile number linked to the Aadhaar number is required as per UIDAI records.

Overall, the UAN streamlines the EPF process for subscribers, providing a convenient and efficient way to manage their accounts and financial transactions.
