EPFO Member e-Sewa Portal – UAN Login, Register, Reset Password

UAN (Universal Account Number), a 12-digit number issued by the Ministry of Employment and Labour under the Government of India, is provided to each member of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) through which one can manage all linked PF accounts. You become a member of the EPF if you are a salaried employee and have to make mandatory contributions. As stated above, every beneficiary of the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) Scheme has been allotted a Universal Account Number (UAN). This 12-digit UAN allows an employee to connect all his PF accounts across different organizations and access them on a single platform, that is, the UAN Login Portal.

On this portal, a member of EPF can find his KYC details, service record, UAN card, etc. The transfer and withdrawal of the provident fund amount have also become easier with the EPF member e-Sewa portal.

Features of UAN

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

It is difficult to maintain several PF accounts under different employers and hence the UAN was brought to action to keep consolidated information about all Provident Funds. When you change jobs, you just need to notify your UAN number to your new employer. The new PF account is then linked to your UAN, if your account is old then you need to link PF with UAN.

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

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

3. UAN provides ease in changing personal details

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

4. 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 keep track of payments and withdrawals.

Advantages of UAN

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

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