UAN Login – UAN Activation, Print & Download UAN Card

Every employee who makes contributions to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) is given a 12-digit unique number known as the UAN (Universal Account Number). This figure remains unchanged no matter what jobs you take on during your career.

Your UAN serves as a central repository for all of your member IDs, even if a new member identification number (Member ID) is issued each time you change employment.

Why is UAN Important?

Your UAN is essential for several reasons:

• Centralized Account Management: Your UAN acts as a single point of reference for all your EPF accounts, making it easy to track your savings and contributions throughout your career.
• Simplified Transfers: When you change jobs, your UAN facilitates the seamless transfer of your EPF balance to your new employer’s account, eliminating the need for multiple withdrawals and re-deposits.
• Online Services Access: The UAN serves as your gateway to a wide range of EPFO online services, such as:
  • Viewing and downloading your PF passbook
  • Checking your EPF balance
  • Filing claims for withdrawals, advances, or pension
  • Updating your KYC information
  • Tracking your claim status
  • Changing your password and other account settings
• Enhanced Security: Your UAN ensures that your EPF funds are secure and cannot be accessed or tampered with by your employer.
• Reduced Premature Withdrawals: The UAN system has contributed to a significant reduction in early EPF withdrawals by making it easier for individuals to track their savings and understand the long-term benefits of the scheme.
