How to Know Your EPF UAN and Download UAN Card?
Any employee who contributes to the EPF is assigned a 12-digit universal account number or UAN. An employee's UAN remains the same throughout his or her career, regardless of how many jobs he or she changes. After the member ID is established, it is linked to the employee's UAN. As a result, the UAN will serve as a single point of contact for the employee's various Member Ids assigned by various employers. You can instantly update your registered e-mail and phone number by using the UAN EPF portal.
Benefits of UAN
One of the most important applications of this unique number is that it relieves the EPF organization of the burden of employee verification from companies and employers. UAN is very important to track the employee's various job switches. Using this specific account number, employees can transfer their PF balance from old to new. If your UAN is already Aadhaar and KYC-verified, new employers will not need to validate your profile.
What are the documents required for UAN registration?
When an individual joins the Employee Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), the EPFO assigns UAN. The employee must provide the following details to the employer in order to receive a UAN:
1. Bank Details: Account number, IFSC code, and branch name.
2. ID proof: National identity cards like driving license, passport, or voter ID
3. PAN: Your PAN and UAN should be linked.
4. Aadhar: It is needed because Aadhaar is linked to a bank account and a mobile number.
Driving License, Voter ID, ration card are optional. Your current address can be a recent utility bill in your name, a rental/lease agreement, or a ration card.
