Epf Member Portal: Each employee of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is given a UAN (Universal Account Number), a 12-digit number issued by the Ministry of Employment and Labour under the Government of India, via which he can manage his PF accounts.

If you are a salaried worker and must make a required contribution, you become a member of the EPF.

Every recipient of the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) Scheme has received a Universal Account Number (UAN), as was already mentioned. With the use of this 12-digit UAN, an employee is able to link all of his PF accounts from several companies and access them through the UAN Login Portal.

A member of EPF can discover his KYC information, service history, UAN card, etc. on this portal. The EPF member e-Sewa site has made it simpler to transfer and withdraw provident fund funds.

Features of UAN

  1. UAN remains the same even when if you change jobs

And also, it is challenging to manage many PF accounts under various employers, hence the UAN was implemented to retain integrated information about all Provident Funds.

You need to inform your new employer of your UAN number when changing jobs. It is therefore necessary to link your new PF account to your UAN if your account is an older one.

  1. Your UAN number is assigned and stays with your employer

However, generally the employers inform the UAN  as they credit the amount to Provident Fund Accounts. If they don’t, you can know your UAN by logging in to the EPFO UAN Member Portal. It is possible if your PAN, AADHAAR, and mobile numbers are linked with UAN .

  1. UAN provides ease in changing personal details

One may need to change or update the contact and address details when changing the job or shifting to a new city. With UAN , the process becomes easier as all details are at one place that need to be edited.

  1. UAN helps in convenient money withdrawal

When all PF accounts, even the previous ones with old jobs are registered under one UAN, the money withdrawal becomes very convenient for the employee. Thus, it gives a simplified system to save time and to keep a track of payments and withdrawals.

Advantages of UAN

Here are a few key advantages of UAN to the employees:

  • Less Employer Involvement in withdrawals of PF: With UAN, the employer involvement has been reduce as the PF of the old organization will be transferr to the new PF account once KYC verification is complete.
  • Fund Transfer Not Require: The employee needs to give his UAN details and KYC to the new employer and the old PF is transferr to the new PF account once the verification is done.
  • Easily Managed by SMS alerts:Employees receive SMS whenever the employer makes a contribution after registering at the UAN portal.
