Universal account number or UAN
The UAN is a 12-digit number allotted to each Employee Provident Fund member by the Employee Provident Fund Organization(EPFO) which gives him control of his EPF account and minimizes the role of employer. It has information about your employer and your KYC details.
E-passbook is an online version of the PF status book, where employee’s PF status and transactions are recorded and can be tracked. All the transactions made in the EPF account are displayed in the e-passbook. To see this Passbook you need to register at UAN website.
UAN number is typically alloted by the employer when you start working and your employer offers EPF. But you can also generate it yourself using Aadhaar.
Once you receive the Universal account number or UAN from your employer, you to activate it by going to the official website UAN website. It is explained here.
After logging in one can do following. Our article New UAN Unified Portal for Employees walks through the new UAN Unified Portal for Employees in detail with images.
- Do online full or partial withdrawal
- Add KYC details like Aadhaar, PAN and Bank account
- Do Online Transfer of your old PF account or merge UAN accounts
- View Transfer Claim Status/System Generated Transfer Claim Status,
- Edit Mobile Number/Edit Email ID/Update KYC Information/Change Password/Edit Personal Details,
- Download UAN Card,
- View FAQ, Helpdesk email id, Helpdesk number, EPFO Website.
Now Member passbook is available at http://www.epfindia.gov.in >> Our Services >> For Employees >> Member Passbook. Our article How to View EPF Passbook discusses it in detail.
New Unified Portal of EPFO was launched on 28 Dec 2016. It had stopped on 17 Dec 2016.
How does UAN help an employee?
Till Oct 2014 every employee had a Provident Fund (PF) account number which was associated with the employer. Change of job meant another Provident Fund number. It involved transferring from one account number to another. Multiple account numbers have been a major area of concern as a majority of grievances of employees are related to transfer of funds from one account number to another. To address this problem EPFO has launched a Universal Account Number (UAN) driven Member Portal to provide a number of facilities to its members through a single window. Member has to activate his registration to avail various facilities such as UAN card download, member passbook download, updating KYC information, listing all his member ids to UAN, file, and view transfer claim. It is a major improvement by EPFO.
- No need for fund transfer: Earlier, transferring EPF account from one employer account to another was a tedious process. But the UAN will do away with the need to transfer your funds at all. All you have to do is furnish your UAN and KYC details to new employer. Once the new employer verifies these details, the money from the older account will get transferred to the new account. But for old accounts (opened before the allotment of UAN), you still need to apply for funds transfer either in digital or physical form.
- No employee involvement in withdrawals: At present any request for EPF withdrawal has to be signed by your previous employer and then sent to the EPFO. There would be no need for transfer requests as money lying at your previous account would automatically get transferred to your new account once your present employer verifies your KYC details.
- Receiving monthly SMS alerts: Every month when you and your employer contribute to your EPF account, you will receive an SMS alert from the EPFO. This will be similar to the SMS alerts you receive every time your bank account is credited or debited. You can even check your total balance by downloading the EPF passbook. However, this facility is not available to employees of exempted establishments at present.
- Better utility of employee pension scheme: Due to the tedious process of transfer of fund from one account to another, members preferred to withdraw (which is an easier process) their EPF money. When you withdraw your PF money you also withdraw the fund contributed to Employee Pension Scheme. This affects the pension that you ultimately receive after retirement. With UAN, your EPF money along with that under EPS is automatically transferred. Transferring the money instead of withdrawing will result in better pension money when you require it most.
How does Member ID differ from UAN number?
An employee will have one UAN or Universal Account number, which as the name implies will remain the same. It will maintain all your Member Ids. Its like you can have multiple Saving Bank account but all these are tied to your one Permanent Account Number or PAN. So when you change your job and the new employer, if contributing to EPF, gives you a new Member ID. This new Member ID has to be linked to your UAN number.
- If the employee does not have a UAN number, probably because it’s his first job or he was working before Jan 2014 when UAN number process started. Then employer will request the EPFO to generate the UAN number for its employee along with Member ID.
- For an employee who already has a UAN number the employer will submit the request to EPFO to generate new Member ID for the employee and link it to the UAN number of the employee by filling Form 11.
How is the UAN number allotted?
Universal account number or UAN has been allotted to each PF member by the EPFO by converting the existing account numbers of employees who have contributed in EPFO through electronic challan-cum-return from January to June 2014. The details of UAN allotted to each PF member have been provided to the employer and the employer has to download and communicate it to the employee concerned. You can use the link Know your UAN status EPFO:Check UAN Status to verify whether UAN is allotted to you or not. Image of the new interface is given below.

Dear Sir,
I have submitted the UAN details to my 3rd New Employer. and not yet transfered the PF amount of previous 2 employers.
I can view all the details of my last two employers in the passbook and all the details are correct.
I want to ask how can I proceed for Transfer. as 3rd new employer details are not yet added to UAN.. (completed 9 months in new employment and UAN details submitted to new Employer)
Not getting proper guidance from any one..
pls guide.. How to proceed
3rd new Employer is asking me to generate new UAN or he will generate new UAN..
HR has no proper information and has already generated 2 UAN of some other employees.
So my question is
1.HR is asking me to generate new UAN.. is it correct?
if yes then what about my existing UAN with 2 Previous Employer Linked
if No then How to proceed
2.What is mean by Transfer
if my previous employer are linked under same UAN and member wise PF amount I can view in the passbook then why to Transfer and where to Transfer…
1st Employer(01.05.2012 30.03.2014)
linked with UAN with correct amount and KYC Details
2nd Employer(01.01.2015 30.01.2016) linked with UAN
linked with UAN with correct amount and KYC Details
3rd Employer(04.02.2016 till today)
UAN submitted to HR but not yet linked… PF deductions started…
3.should i insist my new employer to link the PF to my UAN or really there is any technical problem he might be facing with EPF policies…
because for few employees he has linked properly but for few employees he could not and opened new UAN and now he is asking all new employees to open new UAN…
pls guide..

Solution to 2 UAN problem
I sent email to uanepf@epfindia.gov.in but there was no reply and the issue was not resolved.
Later I raised grievances on many other websites (Now I am not sure which one helped) and one day i got a call from New Delhi from PF department.
and they suggested me few steps as metioned below:
1. Activate my new UAN – XXXXXXX using a new mobile number.
2. File an online transfer claim to transfer the fund from old PF account (XXXXXXX) to new PF account (XXXXXXXX). After proper validation, the balance will be transferred to new PF account.
3. The sum of both PF account will be reflected in my new PF account’s passbook once balance is transferred
4. I should use my new UAN account after activation.
They also told that there is no mechanism to deactivate old UAN account. So let it be as it is.
Thanks a lot for Sharing.
We shall update the details.
Hi, i resigned from my previous company in dec,2011. Am not working from then. Now my pf account has become inoperative. And my employer says he cannot create UAN for me now. I tried to create UAN through the link. And it shows my name and dob is wrong. I have provided the correct details.And none of the inoperative account link or help desk number works. Badly in need of your help.
Sachin – Can you please provide me with the list of mail id’s to which you had sent an email? I have the similar issue and need to fix it at the earliest.
Anu & other members,
Please raise a grievance at http://epfigms.gov.in/ first.
I did the same and got some replies from :
old pf office – sro.bms@epfindia.gov.in
new pf office – sro.krpuram@epfindia.gov.in
since your pf offices may be different, you may get an acknowledgement or updates from your respective pf offices.
Later when I continued to follow up several times, my grievance was forwarded to Mr. T K VIVEKANANDAN from PF office Delhi.
He helped me get a call from Helpdesk from Delhi (011 – 2805 0524). They suggested me the steps as I mentioned in my 3rd August post.
Now my PF has been transferred to the new pf account and I am using my new UAN account. I bought a new SIM card to activate new UAN.
Old UAN still remains active, but since the money has been transferred it doesn’t matter.
Regards,
Sachin
Thanks Sachi for sharing.
Yes Grievance helps.
When you said “Later when I continued to follow up several times..” , how did you follow up?
When you raise grievances, you will receive an acknowledgement from your old or new pf offices.
(I have mentioned the email ids in previous reply).
You can follow up by replying on the same ids.
P.S. – I have already mentioned the solution to this problem. You may not need to reinvent the wheel.
1. Just activate your new UAN using a new SIM/number
2. New UAN will already have new pf account linked.
3. Link your old pf account to new UAN account.
4. transfer pf balance from old a/C to new by raising transfer claim.

Sachin
i am trying to activate my new UAN number but it doesn’t activate. its show my member name and date of birth wrong. so please provide me quick help..
thank you
Hi,
I was working for a company which I left on October,2013, and now I am trying to withdraw my PF. The Company has sent me the PF Form and all the necessary documents and asked me to Register for an UAN, since I left the company long back they do not have my UAN, and I need to apply for the same. I have applied for UAN last Friday, 8th July,2016, through EPF Portal. It said, that they will let me know my UAN through SMS.
Since then, the status is showing as the UAN number generation for my EPF Account number is under process. I would like to know
Normally how many days it takes to get the UAN Number, once applied for it?
I have applied for UAN under the option where it says, “For Citizens”, with my EPF Account number, provided from my old company. Is this a right way of applying for the same?
Thanks

So please advice whether I can fill FORM 11 for my present employer or I can give my old UAN number. Why I am asking this is I am going to settle my old PF number.
Simply calrify me whether I can tell my old number to my present employer or not, as I want to settle my previous account.
My mobile lost and not no longer valid.

how can i check my existing epf & pf amount fron online.i ve a UAN no.i’ve left my job 6 month ago.pls suggest
You can check by logging it to your UAN account. It’s your UAN not Employers.
Did you trying checking your UAN account?
Hi,
I already had a UAN ID linked with my previous employer. Now my New Employer has created a NEW UAN ID for me.
I want all my PF balance under a single UAN account. Kindly let me know in detail what should be done in this case.
By the way this article was very useful.
someone plz reply…
what is my UAN no. how can i find it..??
Your employer will tell you or else with help of membered(your PF No) you can find it.
I have a PF a/c & UAN with my previous enployer.Now m joiNing my New Employer and I have not disclosed that I already have a PF or UAN cz i dun want my present employer to knw about my previous employment cz I dint have a clear exit from my previous employment.
Now Can my new employer create a New UAN & PF A/C for me or will it clash and generate error as I already have an UAN ??
Sanjay its not good to hide things from new employer. Sooner or later they can come to know.
But that’s for you to decide.
Coming to your question.
If you don’t give your old Old UAN number your new employer will create new UAN.
In any case new PF number would any way be generated.
sir my account have been in operative for the last 4 years.. thanks for the detailed procedure, i have created and activated my UAN .. when tried to download passbook it shows the message
“Contribution not received or status is as UCD Member or Already settled.Kindly contact to concern EPF office”
my KYC information and date of joining and date of exit fathers name fields are empty..
Dont know what to do now.
Did you withdraw from your EPF?
You CAN USE THE ESTABLSIHMENT SEARCH FACILITY ON THE EPFO WEBSITE TO GET THE DETAILS OF THE OFFICE AND ALSO THE CODE NUMBER OF THE ESTABLISHMENT.
A MEMBER HAS AN ACTIVE ACCOUNT BUT SOME OF THE EARLIER ACCOUNTS HAVE BECOME INOPERATIVE. HOW CAN HE/SHE GET THE DETAILS OF SUCH ACCOUNTS THROUGH THE PORTAL?
E PASS BOOK OF INOPERATIVE ACCOUNTS WILL NOT BE DISPLAYED. HOWEVER THE MEMBER SHOULD APPLY IN FORM 13 TO GET THE EARLIER ACCOUNT TRANSFERRED TO THE ACTIVE ACCOUNT. IN SUCH CASE THE DETAILS OF THE AMOUNT WILL APPEAR IN THE PASS BOOK OF THE ACTIVE ACCOUNT.
sir thanks for the timely reply..
I have never withdrawn EPF… During my maternity leave my company has been closed.. so could not withdraw amount…
I do have my establishment code
Im presently not working and dont have an active account..
what can i do to know the details of the amount in the passbook
BTW UCD Account means Unclaimed Deposit Account i.e. if contribution is not received in respect of a member continuously for 3 years or more and not withdrawn his PF, such account is termed as UCD Account
I have asked my present company to transfer my previous company’s EPF account to it but now it is showing as 2 different accounts and a message as “Contribution not received or status is as UCD Member or Already settled.Kindly contact to concern EPF office” How am I suppose to proceed further ?
I got 2 UAN Numbers,kindly help me to use one UAN Number
Hi Rajesh
You can send a mail to UAN help by mentioning your 2 UAN numbers then they will verify and block your old one keep active latest one.
Hi BSK,
I sent the 2 UANs to the EPFO department.
Now how can I verify that the old UAN has been blocked?
I did not get any reply from them.
I can still access the epfo website with my old UAN.
The main problem is, my 2 pf accounts are still linked to 2 different UANs.
Please suggest!
Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to access my EPF account thru http://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/index.php byusing UAN number. But i don’t remember the password. So i clicked on the ‘forgot login’ link and i provided correct UAN and mobile number,but it’s giving error as ‘Invalid UAN or Mobile Number. Please retry.’
I am able to login to profile page with ‘http://members.epfoservices.in/index.php’by using same mobile number. But why the UAN Member portal giving the error as ‘invalid mobile number’. Any one please tell me how can i login to UAN Member portal now?
Did you register for UAN?
The password and login for EPF is different from that of UAN
You can use the link EPFO:Check UAN Status to verify whether UAN is allotted to you or not.
Yes…when i try to register UAN it’s showing already registered. But when i try to login it’s saying wrong mobile number. I don’t find any alternate way to login to UAN without mobile number.so i am not sure which mobile number is registered under my UAN. please suggest me if there is any other way?
Try UAN helpdesk. EPFO website now includes UAN HelpDesk which is to help one with Common UAN Related problems. However, the UAN HelpDesk is not fully functional but it works. Our article UAN Problems, Password,Mobile Number,Incorrect Details and Help Desk covers it in detail.

Dear sir/Madam
I want know my UAN No. From whom i get or from where i have to apply.
You can get it from your employer as they already raised a request for you UAN or else you can get it from UAN site by self also.
Sorry if a repost:
Highly useful info. Thanks
I have an inoperative pf account. I woke to my senses only today and decided to withdraw the amount. However, I read somewhere that I need to have a uan. Now without thinking much, just today I have applied for the uan no. using my old pf account, i.e. from that same employer. Now I don’t really know if my current employer has applied for me using my new pf account(my guess is no)but in any case, have I done the right thing? Or should I have used my new details?
How do I rectify it if I’ve gone wrong?

Dear sir,
I have a problem in my intial. Always i put my name as S.Preethika then i got married. Recently i joined in a job by mistake the mentioned my husband name as my intial and registerd in epfo. I informed them to change my intial. For monthly contribution they are paying for S.Preethika. But in UAN portal still the name is N.Preethika. How can i change my initial in UAN Portal. Please advise.
by
S.Preethika.
Change of the name can be done only through your employer.
In your case please request your old employer to submit application to EPFO for change in name. It should reflect in UAN portal.
As per EPFO
EPFO has made a provision for change the name of EPF members. Members who wish to get their name/Fathers name/Date of Birth to be changed in the EPF Database can apply for the same through their employer along with supporting documents. One can read EPF Circular for change in name and EPF Circular for change in birthday

YES, ALL THE NUMBERS EXCEPT THE FIRST ONE USED AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION CAN BE EDITED. HOWEVER THE DOCUMENT NUMBER USED FOR LOG IN AT THE TIME OF EDITING IS BLOCKED. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A MEMBER HAS LOGGED IN USING HIS/HER PAN, HE/SHE CAN EDIT ANY OTHER DOCUMENT NUMBER BUT NOT THE PAN. FOR EDITING PAN IF WRONGLY ENTERED HE/SHE WILL HAVE TO LOG IN WITH SOME OTHER DOCUMENT NUMBER ALREADY ADDED.
Even after following the above steps the PAN CARD number is still not editable.

Hello Sir,
One way is to submit the letter to EPFO through your old employer.
You can also try UAN helpdesk.Its in Beta stage.
Go to UAN Helpdesk
Click on Register as a Member
Choose the appropriate problem and fill details.
Please do let us know if you followed the process and if it worked for you.
UAN helpdesk is always offline (checking from last 3 days ). I wrote mail to “uanepf@epfindia.gov.in” and they replied
Please ensure that a JOINT REPRESENTATION is furnished to the concerned PF office regarding any correction of your details like change in name, father’s/spouse’s name, DOB, DOJ, etc. on the official letter-head of the employer, duly attested by the authorised signatory.
My previous company says they already submitted the documents 4 months back and nothing more they can do.
Please help what more I can do.
Did you try the online UAN HelpDesk explained in our article UAN Problems, Password,Mobile Number,Incorrect Details and Help Desk

hi i have activated my UAN but some how i forgot my UAN num so how can i get my UAN.my register mobile num is available.
mera uan no. abhi tak nhi mila hai. so please mere ko uan no. banane mai meri help karo.
Hi, Please help with the below scenario:
I had worked with Company A from 2006 to 2010 and the PF was maintained with EPFO.
Later joined company B in 2010 and was opened a new PF account. The PF of company B was maintained by its own Trust. The PF was not transferred from company A.Left company B in 2014 and joined company C.
I withdrew the PF amount from Company B’s trust and it was credited to my bank account.
Company C too has its own trust and I got a PF number with C. However, I got the PF amount from Company A transferred to Company C.
I don’t have a UAN and now I am asked by company C to fill in Form 11 with the previous PF number.
Now should I be filling in Company A’s PF number as its PF got transferred to Company C? Or should I mention Company B PF, as it was my previous employer though I have withdrawn the PF amount from it?
The other question is, I believe, on transfer of PF, the Pension also will be transferred to the new PF A/c. But what about the pension amount with my company B where I had withdrawn only the PF. I haven’t mentioned it’s PF details with Company C. What can I do in this scenario.
Please kindly suggest ASAP a I am supposed to fill in the Form 11 and submit at Company C.
Thanks
You can withdraw from the EPF only when you are unemployed.
As you have withdrawn from company B. We suggest you can first focus on transferring Company A to Company C.
Pension amount is not getting transferred currently. We are searching for a solution for it. If you find please do share with us.

Hi Team,
Firstly you people are doing a great job in providing valuable guidance / suggestions / resolutions about PF queries .
I have one query , I left job from one employer on 24th July and before leaving I got my UAN number . When I’m trying to register at http://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/uan_reg_form.php i’m seeing UAN and PF number are not matching . So I though there might be a mismatch in UAN and tried to get correct UAN at http://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/check_uan_status.php and here after entering details this was showing you got UAN number and enter DOB name etc to get UAN to Mobile . After entering , unfortunately I got error message showing as DOB is not matching . Basically I’m from HCL and i have computer generated info abt UAN PF number . I entered same but seeing this kind of issues . Now could you please tell me to whom I need to approach ?
Honorable Sir/Madam,
i am trying to get my uan but for one month something it shows the same thing that (Request for UAN for this Member Id ……. is already under process..
What should i do. please help.

Please wait for some more time. You can ask you finance or payroll department
I am trying to transfer my PF from my previous firm to current firm . However when i put in the PF details of my current firm ,it says that
“Since Present Establishment ID KNMYS0010088000 is not registered at the portal, you cannot file the transfer claim online. It is advised to submit physical claim through previous or present employer”
What i need to do now
It means that you have to do the old way of physically submitting the Forms , Form 13, to your present employer for transfer.Form 13 can be downloaded from Form 13 (pdf)
Please verify with your employer about their registration at EPFO portal.
Hi,
I am working in some X company from July 2014. As of now I have 13 months PF balance. I got my UAN no and activated it. When I check my PF balance in UAN site it is showing that 12 months PF instead of 13 months PF.So to whom I need to contact now that is EPFO office or my employer?
Please be patient. UAN passbook says records are updated till when.
Check that date. Usually it is off by a month or so.
How long it will take to update correct data?
I was working with an organisation but I left it in march and there they alloted me a Uan no. And I have activated it.I have withdrawal my fund from my previous account. After 5 months I am going to join another organisation and I want to open new pf account and want to get new UAN no.. How it can be possible?
You would have to tell your UAN number to new organization. For your EPF account they will generate a new Member ID and link it to UAN
Quoting from our article FAQ on UAN number and Change of Job
An employee will have one UAN or Universal Account number, which as the name implies will remain the same. It will maintain all your Member Ids. Its like you can have multiple Saving Bank account but all these are tied to your one Permanent Account Number or PAN. So when you change your job and the new employer, if contributing to EPF, gives you a new Member ID. This new Member ID has to be linked to your UAN number.
If the employee does not have a UAN number, probably because it’s his first job or he was working before Jan 2014 when UAN number process started. Then employer will request the EPFO to generate the UAN number for its employee along with Member ID.
For an employee who already has a UAN number the employer will submit the request to EPFO to generate new Member ID for the employee and link it to the UAN number of the employee by filling Form 11.
Sir I have two UAN how can I transfer previous Epf ( old UAN)to new company (New UAN)
Yes there have been many cases when two UAN numbers were allotted to the same person. This was due to less awareness of the UAN number and during job change the new employer did not ask for UAN number or previous employer’s PF details. In such a case a person can have two UAN numbers associated in addition to two member IDs. In such a case, you are suggested to immediately report the matter either to your employer or through email to uanepf@epfindia.gov.in by mentioning your current and previous UANs. After due verification the previous UAN allotted to you will be blocked and Current UAN will be active.
Later you will be required to submit your Claim to get transfer of service and fund to new UAN.
How much time this would take we couldn’t find out. If readers can share their experiences with us it would be beneficial to others.
You can try transferring your old EPF to new UAN. What does it say then?
Hi,
I forget my UAN login password. My registered number is same and I have already used the “forget password” option. But I get nothing except a message that says – Your password has been reset and new log-in detail has been sent to your registered mobile.
However I have still not received any password.
Is there any other way to reset the UAN password
You can try raising grievance through EPFiGMS (Register your Grievance)
Other options are:
Contact Regional Office
File RTI

From last six months new joinees UAN details not yet generated. Already confirmed new joinee details
Hmm..just to clarify you are working in payroll department of some company right?
Any information from EPFO why it is not being done?
Are contribution to PF fund happening?
When I try to register in the above said website it is showing that it is not a trusted website and problem with certificate .Please help me in this regard.
Which web browser are you using?
It should not be the problem you can carry on.
Why you get the message:
When you visit a website whose web address starts with https, your communication with the site is encrypted to help ensure your privacy. Before starting the encrypted communication, the website will present Firefox with a “certificate” to identify itself.
The certificate helps web browser determine whether the site you’re visiting is actually the site that it claims to be. If there is a problem with the certificate, you will see the the Connection Is Untrusted alert page.
Seeing the alert does not necessarily mean that the website you’re visiting is trying to trick you into believing it is a different website – it means that web browser isn’t able to verify the identity of the website, and that you should proceed carefully.
I have UAN number in my Payslip, but when I gone to active UAN on Portal it is showing me “already under process.(through ECR)”.
If it is in process then how UAN number is printed on my latest payslip.
Please advise.
Regards,
Prashant.
It means that UAN number is assigned but process of linking it to the member ID is not done.
Give it some time you should be able to activate your UAN
2 UAN numbers
My new employer has generated one more UAN number despite I provided them the already existing UAN number.
Now I have 2 UAN numbers with me.
can someone suggest what needs to be done in this case?
Yes there have been many cases when two UAN numbers were allotted to the same person. This was due to less awareness of the UAN number and during job change the new employer did not ask for UAN number or previous employer’s PF details. In such a case a person can have two UAN numbers associated in addition to two member IDs.

Thanks a lot bemoneyaware for the reply!
I really appreciate.
I already tried sending an email to uanepf@epfindia.gov.in through my employer and by myself with suggested details. But I have not received any replies yet.
I am not sure if someone actually reads the email and take appropriate steps.
However, I acknowledge the fact that we don’t have timelines for resolution.
Going to PF office will require a working day’s time. And I am reluctant to spend that time since I don’t have a clear idea on whether some one will entertain me at PF office.
And I will keep this option as the last resort.
If any other ideas are there, kindly suggest.
Regards,
Sachin
Its a solution but we are not sure whether it works or not.
Can u try linking your earlier Member ID to latest UAN and transfer your old account to new account.
Then cancelling old UAN will be EPFO responsibility
RTI is also an alternative
I have not activated the new UAN purposefully.
The reason is it will actually activate 2 UANs on my name/PAN.
I am waiting for suggestion from my organization too on this.
Thanks for your response!
Hi,
My Previous employer generated my UAN with wrong DOB.
And the current employer is not able to connect my new PF account with this UAN number.
Current employer has asked me to get a new UAN generated and get all the previous PF accounts transferred to the new UAN account.
What should I do?
We think you should go with what your new employer suggests. Get a new UAN generated and transfer previous PF account to new UAN account.
I have forgot my password of UAN portal. Now, my mobile number is also changed. Any idea how to get the new password.

Hi.
i got my UAN number and PF account number from my previous employee. But while i tried to activate UAN, it shows ” Mismatch in UAN and Member ID “.
what is the solution for this ?
As explained in the article UAN or Universal Account Number and Registration of UAN
On trying to Activate UAN I get message Mismatch in UAN and Member ID? What does it mean?
When one tries to activate the UAN one might see message similar to Mismatch in UAN and Member ID .
It means that the Member Id being used for Activation of UAN number and Member ID associated with UAN number does not match. It may be due to incorrect filling of Member Id. Member ID or PF Account Number is in the format given below.
EPFO Office Code/Establishment Code(Max. 7 Digits)/Extension(Max. 3 digits)/Account Number (Max 7 digit)
Some tips while entering Member Id are given in article
If name or dob do not match then EPFO has made a provision for change the name of EPF members. Members who wish to get their name/Fathers name/Date of Birth to be changed in the EPF Database can apply for the same through their employer along with supporting documents. One can read EPF Circular for change in name and EPF Circular for change in birthday

my phone No. 9769349986, please assist.
This means that name that you are entering does not match data that is with EPF office
Please get in touch with your pay roll or finance department and verify your name and other details sent to EPF office.
I have forgot my UAN log in password. How can i change my password.

Hi,
When i enter my PF account No. on the online portal it displays “Request for UAN no. is already in process requested by (through ECR) ”.
Can anybody clarify what it means and how much time does it take for the employer to get UAN no. for an employee.
This means that the UAN process for Member ID is processing and your UAN number will soon be generated. How soon, is anyone’s guess,It can take around 2 months, but With EPFO embracing technology it would become faster as time progresses.

Hi Kriti
I’ll be switching job to a psu without showing my past experience since I will not get NOC. the past employer applied for UAN not been issued yet. is it possible to create a new UAN Number with the new employer. please guide how can I get out of this situation?
Can I get second UAN if my new employer applies with a separate application or will not isuue it with the same data.
You ideally should have one UAN.
Theoretically yes you can get a new UAN number but when you transfer the EPF from old account to current account online your new employer will know.
Then you will have to apply for withdrawal from old office.
But we would recommend you telling truth to your new employer.
hi i already have a uan no as i worked in bpo industry for 3 months .now i am going into my field job and i dont want my new employer to know that i have past exp in bpo .so can i get a new uan generated ? and get the old one closed down(i dont care about old pf money )
Hiding information from Employer is not good. If you don’t give your old UAN number to employer he will request for a new UAN to be generated.

Can any one tell me that what may be problem and what will be solution for it whereas I have linked the old pf account with new pf account.
Hello Kirti,

ON EPFO Portal it shows status like
Request for UAN for this Member Id GJAHDXXXXXXXX is already under process.(through ECR)

Any help would be appriciated.

Just like PAN person should have only one UAN number. Now when you join the new employer tell him the situation.
If he suggests generating a new UAN along with your new PF account then you would end up having two UAN numbers. Then you can close the old one.
Many people have ended up with 2 UAN numbers then EPFO says, you are suggested to immediately report the matter either to your employer or through email to uanepf@epfindia.gov.in by mentioning your current and previous UANs. After due verification the previous UAN allotted to you will be blocked and Current UAN will be active.

Hi Kirti,
Good Day!
Could you please clarrify below mentioned two queries regarding PF widrawal amount from old company.
I have UAN ID and PF Account number, what is the procedure to withdraw PF amount from old company.
Query:
1. I don’t want to tranfer my old EPF amount to New one. Reason: I am going to start my own business(Example: super market). What is the procedure to withdraw my old EPF amount without transfering.
2.Is there any possibility to transfer Old EPF amount to our Bank account directly. If so, what are the steps to be followed.
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards,
Deva
Hello Deva,
Good Day to you too and best wishes for starting your own business.
You have to use Form 19 for EPF withdrawal. Your employer should give this form to you. Else, you can directly download form 19 from the EPFO website.
With the provident fund, you may also like to withdraw the pension amount. However, you can get scheme certificate instead of pension amount, if your service is for less than 10 years. If you have served for more than 10 years, you will get pension only, that also over the age of 50. To withdraw the pension amount you have to fill the form 10 C.
It would be credited directly into bank account.
Hi Kirti,
Thank you for the information.
Have a Great Day!
Thanks,
Deva.

Which web browser(Chrome/Firefox/Internet explorer) are you using? Try changing the web browser.
Tried changing browsers. Used Chrome as well as IE, it still wont sent a message.
Same problem. Even my friend is facing the same. Tried different browsers.
while checking the status of my UAN number it will ask for my details. but it is showing error message like ” Your Date of Birth and Name did not match ” even though the details which i entered are correct as per my pay slip. hence please address the issue … awaiting reply
It means the details entered does not match in EPFO records.
Please fill a rectification form. The form must go through your employer. So please contact your employer.
Once the application is submitted it would take some time for it to be reflected in EPFo records.
I am unable to verify my UAN, As it is showing in PF Account no “enter digits only” But my PF no is “DL23719 138345” So Please suggest me. And verify my UAN No also it is right or not “100124998185”

Very informative article. Thank you for article. I have one EPF account and i am joining new company. Is It ok to withdraw EPF amount as I have finaancial problem and i need this money. Ca n i start new EPF account when i join new company.
Regards,
Sapana
Maam you will have a new EPF account number but your UAN will not change. Detailed explanation is given later in ans.
Theoretically you cannot withdraw from EPF unless you are unemployed for 2 months. Earlier it was not easy to track but with UAN number EPF can track your leaving and joining dates. We not sure whether if you apply for EPF withdrawal will it be accepted or not. You can take loan against your EPF.
UAN is Universal Account Number. The UAN is a 12-digit number allotted to employee who is contributing to EPF. Please note that The universal account number remains same through the lifetime of an employee. It does not change with the change in jobs.
Employer submits the EPF(Employee Provident Fund) money to the EPFO (Employee Provident Fund Office) on behalf of the employee. This includes both the employee contribution, employer contribution, Employee Pension scheme. Member Id or Member Identification Numbers is the number given by EPFO to allow the employer to submit EPF money of employee. It’s like Employer opens an EPF account for its employee and contributes to that account every month. Member ID is the account number of employee in the EPFO. When the employee changes the job then the new employer will open a new account number for it’s employee in EPFO. So a new Member ID will be allotted to employee. Member ID is same as PF number earlier. So you would have as many Member ID’s as the number of employers contributing on your behalf to EPFO.
Member ID or PF Account Number is in the format given below. PF Account Number may not have Extension code. Ex: For someone who works in Bangalore the code can be BG/BNG/012345//789.
EPFO Office Code/Establishment Code(Max. 7 Digits)/Extension(Max. 3 digits)/Account Number (Max 7 digit)
Hi,
I was working for an organization in which they have PF trust and they have also generated my UAN. But why i try to check UAN status in PF portal i am getting below error “Request for UAN for this Member Id **** is already under process.(through ECR)”. And also i have now joined another organization which deposits PF with government EPFO. They asked for my UAN n i have provided them. Can you please let me know where my PF will be deposited if my UAN has not been activated.?
Thanks,
When one checks the UAN status one might see message similar to Request for UAN for this Member Id ABC is already under process.(through ECR) since last 45 days.
This means that the UAN process for Member ID is processing and your UAN number will soon be generated. How soon, is anyone’s guess,It can take around 2 months, but With EPFO embracing technology it would become faster as time progresses.
Activation of UAN is different from UAN.
Good you provided your new employer with your UAN. So a new Member ID will be generated for you and linked with this UAN number.
As explained in our article FAQ on UAN number and Change of Job
An employee will have one UAN or Universal Account number, which as the name implies will remain the same. It will maintain all your Member Ids. Its like you can have multiple Saving Bank account but all these are tied to your one Permanent Account Number or PAN. So when you change your job and the new employer, if contributing to EPF, gives you a new Member ID. This new Member ID has to be linked to your UAN number.
If the employee does not have a UAN number, probably because it’s his first job or he was working before Jan 2014 when UAN number process started. Then employer will request the EPFO to generate the UAN number for its employee along with Member ID.
For an employee who already has a UAN number the employer will submit the request to EPFO to generate new Member ID for the employee and link it to the UAN number of the employee by filling Form 11.
My universal account no not confirm. please to check my UAN NO
Sir can you expand on what do you mean?
Hi Kirti,
Its been 6 months since my UAN number request was forwarded to the PUNE Office through my new company.
However whenever I check I get the message ”Request for UAN for this Member Id is already under process”.
Could you tell how long it will take for the UAN number to be actually created? Please confirm the same.
Be patient. You will get your UAN number. There is no time limit. You can contact

Hello Dhaval,
Congratulations on your first job.
As this is your first job, you don’t have to do anything.
Your employer will give you your UAN number. It has to submit your EPF contribution through Electronic Challan (ECR) to EPF and then process will kick off. As you have got your PF number or Member ID the process has started
How much time it takes not sure but give atleast a month and half after you start your job.
I Have got two UAN number , one from the previous employer (which I have already active it), and new UAN number generated from my current employer.
What should I do to retain 1 UAN number only.
Kirti,
In case two UAN are allotted to you, this could be because of not filing of Date of Exit by your previous employer in ECR filing and/or you have applied for transfer of service in your current establishment.
In such a case, you are suggested to immediately report the matter either to your employer or through email to uanepf@epfindia.gov.in by mentioning your current and previous UANs.
After due verification the previous UAN allotted to you will be blocked and Current UAN will be active. Later you will be required to submit your Claim to get transfer of service and fund to new UAN.
I had talk with my employer and HR department has submitted an application to regional PF office for merging of two UAN into one. As the regional PF office(Gurgaon) is not picking up calls and even my employer told me to now follow-up with the PF office, I have couple of queries nmy mind:
So how long does this process usually take. Will I be notified of the same when merging happens. Also as u mentioned, that PF office will retain current UAN, so should I need to activate it or should I wait.
Try the
EPFO Helpdesk Contact Number-1800 118 005
EPFO Helpdesk Email Id-uanepf@epfindia.gov.in
Please email atleast.
The process is new so no one knows how much time it will take. If you could share your experience other readers would benefit

Hello,
I have query regarding UAN.
I Changed my job in July 2015 and got the UAN number from my Employer.
But in my previous organization I worked for 5 years and I would like to withdrawn the amount from my Previous employer.
Do I still withdrawn my amount if my current employer provided me the UAN number.
Please reply on urgent basis. I am in Big needful situation now.
Thanks,
-Garima
Maam,
How many UAN numbers do you have?
Does your new employer have given you a new UAN number?
You should have only one UAN number.
To withdraw your EPF amount you should be unemployed for 2 months after leaving the job. As the new Employer will deduct EPF for you it will be difficult theoretically.
However you can transfer your old EPF and link to to your UAN number
My old employer has issued me UAN which is active now and showing details of old PF a/c.
In Nov 2014 I changed job and by mistake I added new employer as previous one.
Both employer details are available in View status of employers but amounts are not merged.
As per UAN helpdesk – new employer has to port previous data using UAN but new employer is not able to do so. Would you please guide us how to do this activity?
Tricky situation. Let us research and get back to you.
I forgot my password for UAN.and my mobile number,which was registered with UAN changed.So how can i access my UAN account.
I have joined a new Organization . Now how Can I link new allotted Member Id to my UAN. I cannot see any such option in http://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/home.phpMember . There is an option to register previous member Ids. But How will I register new Member Id? Or this is taken care by new employer? Please help
Thanks,
Rajeesh
Sir,
When you join the new organization your new employer will give you a new PF number or Member ID.
He will ask you to fill the Form 11 which will have the details of your previous employer and submit it to EPF office who will link the old new PF number to this UAN number.
Hi
plz clarify …
How can i link up my new pf account to my UAN(given at previous employer).
1)The problem here was my new employer has no digital signature.Give me the way to attach my new a/c to UAN.
2)How can i check the transferred amount through OTCP(Old account to new)was credited in new a/c or not???
Your new employer has to give Form 11 to you. It has then has to be submitted by your employer for link to happen.
You can track through tracking number given after you submit your request
Your e-passbook will show the transferred amount.
UAN is alloted me to my previous employer but my claim transfer is not approved since last 03-04 months, present employer approved my claim but my claim is pending…what can i do please help me.
My UAN is 100303132921 How to know the fund available in my p.f account
Have you activated your UAN account.
As mentioned in the article
Once you receive the Universal account number or UAN from your employer, you have to log on to the official website uanmembers.epfoservices.in. Click on Activate UAN Based Registration and enter your UAN, mobile number and member ID. You will receive an authorisation PIN on your mobile. Click on image to enlarge.
After following steps you can download the passbook which will show you exactly how much is EE,ER & EPS
My previous employer has generated a UAN for me and i got it activated recently without any issue and was able to generate passbook .
My current employer has alloted me a different UAN No., which i have not yet activated .
I want to transfer my previous PF amount to my current PF account . I want to have one PF account( UAN)
Pl advise how to proceed further .
In case two UAN are allotted to you, this could be because of not filing of Date of Exit by your previous employer in ECR filing and/or you have applied for transfer of service in your current establishment.
In such a case, you are suggested to immediately report the matter either to your employer or through email to uanepf@epfindia.gov.in by mentioning your current and previous UANs.
After due verification the previous UAN allotted to you will be blocked and Current UAN will be active. Later you will be required to submit your Claim to get transfer of service and fund to new UAN.
Hi Kirti,
Thanks for your reply .
Further to the same till now i have not activated UAN alloted by my present employer.I have informed my current employer and as per them they want me to activate current UAN and send a request for transfer of fund to PF department online .Pl advise should i first activate this UAN alloted by current employer or not .
I want to maintain 1 UAN only .Also want both my PF amount be merged in one account (both previous and present ).
Pl advise.
Your employer is right. You would have to activate the new UAN number.
You can then submit request for blocking your earlier UAN number by mentioning your current and previous UANs to current employer.
After due verification the previous UAN allotted to you will be blocked and Current UAN will be active. Later you will be required to submit your Claim to get transfer of service and fund to new UAN.
Hi Garima,
I am also stuck in the same situation. have u been able to find out some solution. Have you tried contacting UAN office through mail for blocking 1 UAN. Any response from them. Please help

Hello Shiva,
Earlier PF account number just had two alphabets for EPFO Office Code ex: MH in your case then you can search the new Code at EPFI Establishment Information Search
Now PF Account Number which is in the format :
EPFO Office Code/Establishment Code(Max. 7 Digits)/Extension(Max. 3 digits)/Account Number (Max 7 digit)
PF Account Number may not have Extension code, in that case leave it blank.
It is explained with pictures in our article Basics of Employee Provident Fund: EPF, EPS, EDLIS
Hi Kirti,
Thank you so much for such an informative article. I would really appreciate your expert advice about an important question. Its very relevant to #37 asked earlier in this thread.
I am currently working for a company in Gurgaon, but I wasn’t very happy and was looking for a switch. I finally secured a job with one of the top ecommerce giants in India. Now, the problem is that I never disclosed about my work experience of my current company during my interview and still don’t wish to. But is there any way that the new company that I am about to join would figure out my links with my previous organisation because I had a Uan account with them.
Even if they do, what all details would they be able to pull out.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help Kirti.
Much appreciated
You are required to have only one UAN number.
If you change job You need to simply declare your UAN to your subsequent employers.
If required A company can search UAN of other establishments.
My request is don’t hide your employment details from your current employer. I don’t think for them it would be a big deal but if it comes out later then it might hurt you more.
Hi All,
now if you have PF number go to “http://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/check_uan_status.php” and check if UAN is generated or Not, if generated and your company not gave you it will directly show you your UAN Number, note down it and Activate it, After Activation please update KYC Under Profile TAB ” Update KYC Information” Like Aadhar Card, bank Account, PAN card, use” http://www.fixpicture.org/” to reduce the sign scan copy while uploading, Once Verification status will show pending for approval then your company PF person will login to Comapny PF portal and Approved your KYC, Till now the Online Transfer facility not started into UAN Portal, if u need to transfer online PF Register here and use this web”http://memberclaims.epfoservices.in/”
How to get UAN No
Your employer has to submit your details to EPFO and then UAN number will be generated for you.
Hello Kirti,
My UAN status is showing as
Request for UAN for this Member Id THVSH0 is already under process.(through ECR) since last 45 days.
my EPF a/c is started in Jan 2014 and employer is depositing amount to it.
Can you please suggest how much time is taken for UAN generation? Do I need to follow up with EPF office? My HR is saying that EPF office would take their own time, we can not do anything about it.
Regards,
Ashok Joshi.
Your HR is right Ashok. It would take its own sweet time.
You have your PF number right?
Thanks for your reply,
Yes, I have my EPF number. I searched On EPFO site for my employers establishment, then click on payment and my name is there in the list of employees for which payment is done by ECR.
So I need to worry about it, sooner or later I will get the UAN 🙂
Thanks for helping and guiding people.
Regards,
Ashok Joshi.
Thank
Yes be patient. EPFO has embraced technology and soon things would be faster
Account Activated, UAN activated.
Everything is working perfectly, Kirti, Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Ashok Joshi.
Hi.In past I was working with X company in which my PF amount used to deposit in EPFO. Recently I joined a company which have their own PF Trust. What to do in this case?How to transfer my old PF account to new one, so that I can track my PF through UAN number?Is there any option. Please help me. Thanks and regards.
I recently joined the new organization where my new EPF account get opened. So i want to know that the amount residing on my previous EPF (UAN# already created) account will automatically get transferred to the new EPF account or i need to do anything from my side. If need to do anything from my side then please explained the process for the same.
Congratulations on your new job.
When you shift to new job for EPF you need to do two things:
1. You need to provide UAN and KYC details. Employer will allot you new member ID and link this to UAN. Please contact the Finance department of your new company.
2. You need To transfer Your old EPF account yourself. You can transfer online or offline
In order to transfer your EPF account online from a previous employer to the current employer,
Our article Transfer EPF account online : OTCP explains the process in detail
If your employers have not registered their digital signatures online you will need to take the process offline. You would need to fill up Form 13 and submit it with the previous employer
1. You need to provide UAN and KYC details. Employer will allot you new member ID and link this to UAN.
How Can I link new allotted Member Id to my UAN. I cannot see any such option in http://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/home.phpMember . There is an option to register previous member Ids. But How will I register new Member Id?
Thanks,
Rajeesh
my previous pf a/c no was MH/BAN/0024368/00A/0001502. It shows that my amount was withdran/transfrtted from 2009 but same not has been enter my new pf MH/BAN/000/0024368/0009220 OR in my uan 100366216107
UAN would not have details of the past , non UAN linked account.
It would show details from 2014 only.
Hi,
I have UAN ID and number, how i would withdrawl PF amount,
Should i fill 10C and 19 form or there is any other option
Please suggest and reply
You can transfer the old EPF account to your new one.
This can be done through Online EPF withdrawal process.
Hi, I have UAN in my present company and I’m going to join in new company soon, so I don’t want to share my UAN to new employer for some reasons, how can I hide the UAN and how can I get new UAN with new employer?
please respond immediately, this is very important to me.
Difficult question and sadly I don’t have the answer.
With everything online it would be difficult to hide .. and through UAN an employer cannot know much, only your PF details.
What if you get a new number and employer finds it out later. So I would suggest not doing it.
Employer can search UAN of other establishments by selecting an option ‘Search UAN’ in the UAN Menu using either Member ID or UAN.
If new UAN is allotted then KYC has to be submitted and so is Aadhaar card.
Following documents can be used for KYC:-
National Population Register
AADHAR
Permanent Account Number
Bank Account Number
Passport
Driving License
Election Card
Ration Card
Best of Luck
Am how can take uan no for checking my epf online
Universal account number or UAN has been allotted to each PF member by the EPFO by converting the existing account numbers of employees who have contributed in EPFO through electronic challan-cum-return from January to June 2014. The details of UAN allotted to each PF member have been provided to employer and the employer has to download and communicate it to the employee concerned. You can use the link EPFO:Check UAN Status to verify whether UAN is allotted to you or not.
I forgot my password and I no longer use the registered mobile number. So how can I reset my password or get access to my account ?
hi,
i have a UAN number which i got From Company A, now ia m working Company B from last 5 months where in my salary slips the UAN number mantioned , now i got an nice offer from company C , if i join in company C, is the company C comes to know about Company B’s 5month and its contribition by UAN. Please let me know as soon as possible, so that i ll take a decission.
Your UAN number will not change with the change in employers. UAN number will be allotted once.
UAN number is tied to you and am employer can only make contribution corresponding to the UAN number. He is not be able to track your earlier employer contributions.
You can happily change your job give the same UAN number to the Company C.
I got my UAN number I didnt receive any Authoriation PIN to my mobile number(Regitered Mobile number only)when I am trying to activate it. Please help me on this.
Hello Kirti,
Very very useful information, which helps alot to understand the process…I have received the UAN from my previous employer but When I am trying to activate my UAN it is showing “Mismatch in UAN and Member ID.” any Idea what could be be the reason, my previous employer says that is the UAN allocated for me.
Hello Kirti
I had a PF and UAN number provided for that by my previous employer. I closed that PF account and has witthdrawn the amount as well. Will my current employer generate a new UAN number for the new PF I have with the organization? Or will my previous UAN number be relevant for my new PF account?
John Idea behind UAN number was to have number tied to employee and not employer.
So Your previous UAN number should work. You can give the old UAN number to your new employer.
Please keep us updated.
HI John,
Can you update on your query as I am having same concern.
Thanks
Its been 4 months (Sept 2014) since my UAN number request was forwarded to the Hyderabad Office, AP through my new company. However whenever I check I get the message”Request for UAN for this Member Id is already under process”. Can you tell how long it will take for the UAN number to be actually created? Is there any process like if PF is transferred to account for so many months, then only the UAN number will be created etc because I have not received it till date. Kindly confirm
It should take so long. It is said that UAN is generated in 7 days.
Viji I did not understand the part Is there any process like if PF is transferred to account for so many months, then only the UAN number will be created etc because I have not received it till date.
Were you working with some other company before? There can be only one UAN number irrespective of PF.
i live my job last two years ago i submit my all forms from pf office 22days ago but employer told me your UAN no has been processing but when i cheek UAN number status there is no record icant understood what happned? who much time to take prepare an UAN no. please suggest me
Initially UAN is allocated only to an employee who is in active service with an employer between 01-Jan-2014 and 30-Jun-2014. So I doubt if you would have UAN number.
Hi
I work with organisation that has an EPF Trust , how can i register my UAN provided by my employer
Registration of employee is through the employer. Even Private EPFO trusts are being covered through UAN as the article in Hindu tells .
Please check with your employer
Hi Kirti, I have a PF number and a separate Pension number from my previous employer.
When i tried to register using my PF number, it showed error ” Mismatch in UAN and Member ID”. But when I tried to register using the pension number, it worked.
I am not sure what id the process/problem here.
Can you please answer if you know?
My guess is that your UAN is registered with your previous employer.
Incase you change the job and join somewhere else You need to simply declare your UAN to your subsequent employers.
So disucss it with your current finance group and link your new account with UAN.
Please do keep us updated.
Hi,
When i enter my PF account No. on the online portal it displays “Request for UAN no. is already in process requested by ECR”.
Can anybody clarify what it means and how much time does it take for the employer to get UAN no. for an employee.
EPFO has Launched online receipt of Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR) from the Month of April 2012 (March paid in April). Employers are requested to Register their establishments and create their user id and password through this portal.
Universal account number or UAN has been allotted to each PF member by the EPFO by converting the existing account numbers of employees who have contributed in EPFO through electronic challan-cum-return from January to June 2014
So your employer has submitted the details and EPFO has to generate the UAN number. How long will it take? it should be fast but no idea.
I give u sugges it all information give in hindi language for all uneducated person
Hi Kriti,
Thanks for posting this article, good work 🙂
Best Regards.
Thanks Ankur for encouraging words
Very usefull articles .I want to.withdraw my pf of old employer .account is dormant since 3 years can i withdraw without signe of employer as i did not resigned
Yes GD you can
Here are 3 steps you need to do to successfully withdraw your EPF without previous employer signatures.
Step 1 First download and fill up Form 19 (for EPF withdrawal) and Form 10C (for EPS Withdrawal)
Step 2 Get it attested by any one of the following
Manager of a bank (PSU preferred)
By any gazetted officer.
Magistrate / Post / Sub Post Master / Notary
Step 3
Write down a letter addressing the regional PF commissioner, stating the reason why you have to get it attested and how you are facing issues with your employer
For more information you can read Jagoinvestor article You can withdraw your EPF without Employer Signature
Hi,
For closing a PF account and to withdraw the money will UAN be useful or should I follow the normal process of providing a cancelled cheque and filling the form?
I believe this UAN is to transfer money from one PF account to another and not for to withdraw the money and to close out a pf account. Is my assumption correct?

I believe this UAN is to transfer money from one PF account to another and not for to withdraw the money and to close out a pf account. Is my assumption correct?
Dinesh yes you are right.
UAN is associated with employee and not employer. So it keeps track of your PF with different employers and makes it easy to transfer account.
Process of withdrawal from PF remains the same.
Thanks for the reply and for such an useful article!
Is there a way to link my old dormant PF account(Inactive for the past 3 years) with my UAN number (which has been created for an existing PF account).
Will it get linked automatically should I do it manually?
Dinesh going forward EPFO has plans for doing it.
Quoting from livemint’s article How to make your EPF account portable
While UAN is allotted to employees with an active EPF account from January this year, older accounts don’t have this facility yet. “We are still working on that. It will mostly be application based, where an employee will have to apply for UAN. We should come out with it in 10-15 days. An employee should be able to get UAN within 24 hours from application,” added Jalan”
Very useful article, I have posted my doubts below kindly please reply.
1)Is there a possibility to link old EPF account numbers, which have been closed after withdrawing money from it?
1.a)If yes, should I add the EPF number or will it get added automatically?
2)After resigning from a company what will happen to the EPF account if its left as such for more than 3 years without withdrawing money.
Thanks!
Hello Swaminthan,
I am not sure of the answers. I will try to find more information but what I know is as follows:
1 & 1a Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), has allocated UAN to employees who were in service as of 1 January 2014.
Quoting from livemint’s article How to make your EPF account portable
While UAN is allotted to employees with an active EPF account from January this year, older accounts don’t have this facility yet. “We are still working on that. It will mostly be application based, where an employee will have to apply for UAN. We should come out with it in 10-15 days. An employee should be able to get UAN within 24 hours from application,” added Jalan.
2) There is no change in EPF rules. If one does not contribute to EPF account then it will become dormant.
Hope the answers helped.
Very useful article, I have posted my doubts below kindly please reply.
1)Is there a possibility to link old EPF account numbers, which have been closed after withdrawing money from it?
1.a)If yes, should I add the EPF number or will it get added automatically?
2)After resigning from a company what will happen to the EPF account if its left as such for more than 3 years without withdrawing money.
Thanks!

Very useful & informative article.
I worked with various Companies and choose to withdraw EPF (I think so) It is possible to find out if any PF balance is left with previous employer since I never bothered in past
Further with my first company I served for over 10 years. It has its own Trust registered with PF Comissioner How do I find outabout EPS ?
Thanks in anticipation
If total service of employee is less than 9.5 years, (s)he is not entitled for pension so he can apply for Withdrawal benefit i,e Pension Fund Money back. Once, the service period crosses 10 years, the money withdrawal option ceases you can only get Scheme Certificate which (s)he can use to get pension from the age of 50 years. So did you get Scheme certificate or you money?
As far as I know it is not possible to find out if any PF balance is left with previous employer.

Hi,
Thanks for the article. I have an EPF account, but I will shortly be joining the govt service. What is the best option – to close the EPF account or let the balance remain idle? If latter, what happens when no contributions received?
Thanks!
Govt companies do not offer EPF So, you cannot transfer.Your new account will be in PRAN not EPF, So you will have to withdraw your EPF money.
For 3 years after you stop contributing your PF account will earn interest.
For calculation of 5,Years in which contribution has been made to Provident Fund account are counted. It can be with one employer or more than one employer provided you got your Provident Fund transferred. If you leave your job after 2 years and you do not contribute and do not withdraw or transfer your account for 3 years then still the number of years are still counted as 2 as that’s period in which contribution to EPF was made. Such accounts in which contribution is not made are called dormant accounts.
Please remember When the PF amount is withdrawn before five years of continuous service, it is be taxable in the hands of the individual
