Overview of  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 minimises the role of employer.
  • Member Id or Member Identification Numbers is the number given by EPFO to allow the employer to submit EPF money of employee. If one changes the job, employer changes, hence Member ID change. Member ID or PF Account Number is in the format given below. PF Account Number may not have Extension code. EPFO Office Code/Establishment Code(Max. 7 Digits)/Extension(Max. 3 digits)/Account Number (Max 7 digit) Ex:BG/BNG/012345//789.
  • 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.
  • Once you receive the Universal account number or UAN from your employer, you have to log on to the official website http://uanmembers.epfoservices.in. Click on Activate UAN Based Registration and enter your UAN, mobile number and member ID. Our article UAN or Universal Account Number and Registration of UAN explains the process in detail.
